There's something for everyone at Bibi's Bakery and Takeaway. Curry lovers can try the chicken, lamb, seafood and vegetarian options. The menu also includes pizza, bunnies, burgers, sandwiches, pasta and seafood.
Location: Newlands, Durban
What customers say:
"I’ve always heard about them and even got a few great opportunities to taste their mouthwateringly delicious chicken. But because they were in Parlock I suppose I never got a chance. And this is why I need to emphasize that Parlock is actually only 10 minutes away from Overport for those that think that’s it is too far! And after tasting their amazing food, bibis_bakery_takeaway is worth even taking a flight for!" - Kitchen Queens
