Durban Dish

African$$

Reflecting the population of its namesake city in South Africa, the menu at tiny Durban Dish has an Indian bent with samosa and biryani in the mix. The popular order is bunny chow - a hollowed out third- or half-loaf of Tip Top-style bread filled with the curry of your choice. Eyes light up over the humble comfort food as it travels from kitchen, under the hessian-draped ceiling, to wobbly table. Bobotie, pap and wors, chakalaka and vetkoek are there for the feasting, too. Weekends attract boisterous, nostalgic groups. If service gets frazzled, bide your time by browsing the shelves of South African pantry products.
