Best of Pretoria Bunny Chow 2025 — Winner 2026 nominee for Best Bunny Chow & Spice Shop

Slow cooked. Properly spiced. Always fresh.

Mutton on the bone that falls apart. Basmati breyani cooked down slow. A bunny chow in a real hollow loaf. This is Durban curry, made in Pretoria, the way it's meant to taste.

The house favourites

Six plates we're known for

Every curry is prepared Durban-style — the masala is roasted, the meat goes in raw, and it cooks down slow until the gravy is thick enough to hold a roti.

Our story

Durban recipes,
Pretoria East kitchen

4 Chilli Indian Takeaway was founded in 2011 to address a distinct culinary gap: the absence of authentic, traditional Durban-style curry, masalas and Indian spice in Pretoria East. Rejecting mass-produced, commercial alternatives, our mission was to deliver a genuine Durban-style experience — cooking with meticulously roasted masalas and spices, fresh rotis, a variety of samoosas and, definitely, the bunny chows.

Located at 418 Jacqueline Drive, Garsfontein, our establishment operates strictly on a made-to-order philosophy. While this artisanal approach requires a brief preparation period, it ensures that every dish is served with optimal flavour, freshness and quality, entirely free from the degradation of heat lamps. Our samoosas are freshly fried and served immediately.

Additionally, we maintain a consistent inventory of premium masalas, authentic spices and high-quality frozen foods, ensuring our complete product range is always available to our customers.
