A Culinary Journey to Authentic Indian Flavors
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Yudhika & Company, and I must say, it was an extraordinary culinary experience that transported me straight to the heart of India. This restaurant offers an ambiance that perfectly complements its exceptional cuisine.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the use of an open woodfire, which lent an unmistakable authenticity to every dish. The aromas of spices and roasted masalas wafting through the air set the stage for a memorable gastronomic adventure.
The menu boasts a wide array of mouthwatering options, each prepared with a dedication to preserving the true essence of Indian flavors. From the moment the first bite touched my palate, I knew I was in for a treat. The curries, a hallmark of Indian cuisine, were masterfully executed. The depth of flavors and the perfect balance of spices in each curry showcased the chef's expertise and passion.
The rotis, baked to perfection, were the ideal accompaniment to the rich curries. Soft and flavorful, they provided a delightful contrast to the robustness of the main dishes. Additionally, the selection of cakes and sweetmeats was nothing short of delightful. These desserts served as a sweet symphony to conclude the savory journey.
On this occasion, I opted for the crayfish curry paired with fragrant Basmati rice and soft roti. The marriage of fresh seafood with the richness of the curry was a revelation. The tender crayfish absorbed the flavors of the sauce, creating a harmonious blend of taste and texture. The Basmati rice, with its long grains and delicate aroma, was the perfect canvas for the robust curry, and the soft roti added a comforting element to the dish.
I cannot recommend Yudhika & Company enough. It is a culinary haven for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience. Whether it's a special occasion or simply a desire for genuine Indian cuisine, this restaurant is a true gem. I am already looking forward to my next visit, eager to explore more of their tantalizing offerings.
In conclusion, if you are a connoisseur of authentic Indian flavors prepared with utmost care and love, Yudhika & Company is a must-visit. Prepare yourself to embark on a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds dancing and your...

Then i saw it...those lovely pink snow balls , i have not eaten that in many years.and every type of cake and pastries u can imagine ...wow certainly makes life so easy....the place was so busy with customers picking up their orders and i must say the staff were on their feet running around trying to serve and help the customers ...they lady that i presume was the owner ( i cant be too sure but she looked like she was )was so helpful and caring , she helped me choose and showcased all her food and i was totally impressed with her awesome customer care..so i left with an array of stuff, tried the snowballs and it was divine....am yet to try the other stuff but i have no doubt it will all be delicious.....so i totally recommend Holi Cow to everyone..you certainly wont be disappointed Thank you to the Lady that helped me .......i will definitely be back .. i might add more stars as i try more...
Read moreI finally made my way to Holi Cow. Friends and I have been wanting to join in one of the cooking classes.
This time though we were just after some cream doughnuts on our way home so decided to stop here and see if they had stock. There is an array of goodies in the shop from biscuits to sauces to pies and samosas. We got the doughnuts, some Naan Khatai, Soji and then the variety of pies caught my eye in the fully stocked fridges. As I always see Yudhika posting a out it on weekends. To be extremely honest yes they are very pricy and I was second guessing buying a box of 4 but I decided to give it a try as I usually love pepper steak pies and they had a Peppered Beef Fillet option amongst others. My sister took the Moroccan Chicken one. They have a "flavour" for all taste profiles and some are alot cheaper but I only wanted the Fillet one.
We baked the pies and I can Happily say it was worth the price of R50 a pie. The pie was full of tender meat and deliciously flavoured, not just full of gravy/sauce like garage pies. The Moroccan Chicken one was also nice and the family said it was a pleasant change from the normal pies we eat. Would definitely buy them again sometime and try a few of the other options especially the curry ones 😋
Next time would like to try some of the curries on offer when having that Durban type curry craving or maybe even join the cooking...
