Chef-patronne Vani Moodley serves homely Durban style curries made fresh daily. She says: “I’m not like those other Indian restaurants that just add something to gravy and serve it up like that.” She has a no-nonsense relationship with the chilli jar. The lamb curry heats the mouth in an instant, leaving a spicy zing long after the tender meat is gone. The yellow lentil dhal is velvety and finished with fresh coriander. The chickpea curry will impress even the most ardent meat eater and the prawn curry is a Durban classic deluxe. Chef Moodley says that she has been cooking curries for 16 years – as long as she’s been married – and her experience shows. Her touch is deft, incendiary but discerning. Mr Moodley is a lucky man.
