An authentic Cape Town experience awaits at this buzzing canteen-style eatery. From Turkish kebabs to Cape-style biryanis, creamy North Indian curries and real tandoor dishes, the whole spice spectrum from Bombay to the Bo-Kaap is covered – and deliciously so – behind several counters. The various savoury snacks like filled puri are not to be missed. Lots of choice for vegetarians.

Take our advice: come early and come hungry! The Kitchen is hugely popular for its plentiful salads at lunch time – there are up to 20 on offer every day – and the famous “Love Sandwich”, which is made on an artisanal roll from the nearby Woodstock Bakery then filled with your choice of gammon, grilled chicken, honey-mustard sausage, melanzane, pastrami, falafel or avo and bacon and The Kitchen’s signature pestos, salads and secret “Love Potion”. The salads are available to take away or to eat in: choose either three or five of your favourites (add protein if you like), then find a seat at one of the long tables or at the counter. It can get pretty packed at lunch time.

One of my personal Fav's. Every town needs more spots like Dias Tavern – unchanging, unpretentious and almost always full, with happy satisfied customers. They know that, visit after visit, they will get what they seek: comfort food, well-cooked and well-priced, without any unnecessary frills. No foams, no gels, no jus – only meat, chicken and seafood, spiced as you want it in portion sizes that leave no one hungry. Along with a mound of chips so well-cooked that even devout Banters weaken. It’s been that way for more than 25 years.
