"Where to eat in Durban: Gounden's Restaurant & Take Away - Bunny Chow is king at Gouden's, which dishes up around thousand on a busy day. The hollowed out half or quarter loaf of white bread is filled with chicken, beef, lamb or veggie curry according to your chilie tolerance."

"The main reason people flock to Gounden’s in Umbilo is for its mutton bunnies which die-hard fans say are the best in the world, with lots of meat and rich gravy."

Sarah Duff

"There’s an ongoing lively debate amongst locals about where the best bunny chow spot in town is, but many agree that it’s Goundens, an unpretentious family-run eatery in Umbilo Road (the spicy mutton bunny is what the locals recommend)."

Shannon Connolly

"Though it is certainly not the easiest place to locate, it’s been said that bunny-lovers travel from all over the world to sink their teeth into one of their mutton monsters. Another reason why they are so popular is their man-sized portions."

Sylvia McKeown

"I just loved the vibe over lunch time in this canteen-style restaurant in Umbilo, an industrial area in Durban. Eating the most fragrant curry with plain white bread and a Coke with our hands."

Nic Bowen

"This one is probably the most popular spot in Durban to grab a bunny chow. Also, their portions are generous and their prices are reasonable. We recommend their hearty and spicy mutton bunny, guaranteed to satisfy."
