Vegetarian legacy of Patel’s in Durban || Long lines at iconic restaurant || SA YouTuber


We visited Durban city centre with a purpose – to visit Patel’s vegetarian restaurant. It is definitely one of the busiest food places we have been to in a while to the point where you have to special skills to work here.

The curries available at Patel are always set, so if you want to visit, your choices are:
Moong Dhall
Sugar beans…

Great video👍. I just accidentally happened upon your channel yesterday & have been binge-watching since. You guys are fun to watch & so down to earth. You've made me crave that moong-dholl bunny, but like you I rarely risk going into the city centre. All the best with your channel. Good ambassadors for Durban🙌

Remind us of the years gone by. Patel. Kapitan. Eat and run.

@errolmichael3354

Bro I used to eat in that place when I was a litie, my parents used to go there I believe at that time it was an old Indian uncle that used to cook. I went there about a year ago and now some black guy is cooking the food don't taste the same and I saw a hell of a lot of…………. Something and the guys don't use gloves😂

I was raised in the area and attended school too in the area. The area was a haven for good food and sweet treats… There were a few good eating places example victory lounge. Bahgats Cafe… Then further down was west end known for their fish curry. Thank u for the wonderful memories.

@clinnaidoo1026

Back in in the 80s the moondhall BUNNY was 70c we used to sit on the steps in the back and enjoy the hot steaming food

@Amanda-nq5hu

Patels cooking has deteriorated. Not as good as the old days

@keereshsathron7262

Yoh. congrats, lol i don't have the guts to go and park there. glad you guys are safe

@praneetadoorgha144

I know penda
I make it for every diwali
It has fresh cream
Icing sugar
A little of ghee
Klim powder
A very little of water to mix and mould
Very rich beautiful sweet meat
It has rosewater as well

The lady couldn't STOP talking AND eating … just felt like putting duct tape over her mouth. I recall watching this channel's video years ago, once, and even then too I found her to be annoying. Either than that, good to know that the old favourite spots in Durban are still open and going strong with business

@lassnybudhram177

The best sweetmeats ever from Patel. We always bought from them.❤

@daveb5374

Is it safe to walk around the City ? I'm from Aus and I remember SA from 90s , we used to go to Patels as Uni students , GC Kapitan (its closed I believe) , Victory Lounge , the iconic Gobble and Go (on Pine) when the Dad was alive (you probably wont know what I'm talking about) and Juicy Snacks, so many places. I miss Durban so much , I walked to the Wheel and spent so much time in Workshop and West Street. My personal opinion of Patels is that its a cheap meal but everything tastes the same and thats no insult – it is what it is , its a legend. GC Kapitan was another level of vegetarian. Sorry for long post – memories. Loved the video, bless you for chatting to old man and I remember him so well.

My friends ,there are dangers anywhere you go in the World. There are always miscreants watching to pounce on anything they could lay their hands on.Take care!

@ivannaicker3649

@eunicedavid9581

I worked at the Durban Housing Action Committee situated at Kara Centre… Patels was our go to place for delicious affordable bunnies and bhajias that our activist salaries allowed for… sadly our City Centre does not allow for safe shopping any more… will definitely nake a trip to town to get the Patels bunnies… what memories and experiences.

@iqbalpillay360

Thank you for bringing back special memories.
The 80's and the 90's were the best ever.
I worked in central Durban. The mixed vegetable bunny was the best at that time.
It is good to know that Patels still exits. We relocated in 2000.

@1961rey
