Restaurant issues serious spice warning to curious customers
Spice, spice baby!
It’s a familiar feeling in KZN.
A flavour explosion in your mouth, followed by a rising burning sensation. It hurts, but you simply cannot stop.
Bite after bite, your tolerance wanes, and your brow begins to sweat. You’re overcome by a hot-flush, and now your lips are tingling.
The chatter of the restaurant grows further away, and you wonder if you can finish your meal, because the water you’re gulping has only seemed to feed the fire.

Online users are in agreement with the restaurant's new no-nonsense policy, and think it is a great idea that will save them some bucks and embarrassment.
