"At this former fruit market building downtown, you'll find all the city's sizzling street food under one roof. From Chinese noodles to Middle Eastern falafel to bunny chow, a quintessentially South African Indian dish, you'll sample the world under one roof (and for next to nothing to boot)." - Mary Holland
Fun Fact: This restaurant is featured in the Denzel Washington movie Safe House!
The first thing that hits you when you walk into Eastern Food Bazaar is the smell of warm spices. The space is a long tunnel with food prep on the one side and seating on the other. You can sit wherever you'd like once you get your food. I ordered three vegetable samosa and a chicken schwarma wrap with chips. I was surprised by the generous portion of meat (much more than you'd get from a franchise like Anat or Mi-Vami), and doubly impressed at how masterfully the employee was able to fold in all the salad and toppings I requested! The wrap was very tasty, and was so big that I ended up taking almost half of it home for left-overs.

I absolutely love this place. It gets quite busy but that's only a testament to how good the food is. I'll come back for the cheesecake ice-cream as many times as humanly possible, I'm obsessed. They have some of the most delicious pizza flavors and so many other food options from shwarmas to falafel balls. It has ample sitting areas including a very quiet and cozy 1st floor sitting area.

Definitely overwhelming! But you order in the center and hand your ticket to the restaurant(make sure you have your receipt with you). The bunny chow was hot and delicious something to share with a group of people cause it’s big! The fried rice was oily, along with the dosa due to the cheese. The atmosphere though was really cool! The doors and lights definitely felt like I was in a different world! I wish I would have ordered more stuff cause it’s so cheap!

If you're coming to Cape Town, make this your first stop! It's great in every way - the food, value, variety, and vibe are all top-notch. Even when it's super busy, the service is pro-level, with wait times under 30 minutes. Whether you're on a tight budget or splurging for a family gathering, this spot delivers. Trust me, you won't go wrong!
