Happy Chappy — Restaurant in North Beach

This little take away has stood the test of time. They are trading for over 30 years, so they must be doing something right. By chance I happen to cone a cross them this afternoon located at their same spot in Mangrove Beach Centre, North Beach Durban, I order a quarter mutton bunny which a eat on their seated balcony area. I remembered this place from 20 odd years ago. The food was served on a large army mess tray with plenty of salads and over flowing gravy. I dug inn, and enjoyed each and every bite of the delicious bunny with a lovely patatoe. Meat was tender and the spices was just the correct mixture resulting in the perfect gravy. Just a note sitting on the balcony does allow for your food to get cold quicker. On exit I chatted with the friendly owner Jay. And reminisce about days gone by and the changes that have come. He been trading there for more than 34 years and when I told him that he must be doing something right, he was the first to admit that it was not easy and he faced many a difficult days by he persevered. Oh the plus factor is They are Licensed so you can order your favorite alcoholic drink with your delicious meal....

They say in JHB the best place to find a bunny in on the N3 and head all the way down south. That is definitely true and that place is Happy Chappy. This gem of a place has been open for 32 years and counting, located in Durban City. If you looking for a complete experience, look no further. Please note it's unique and I definitely found the entire atmosphere very appealing. From the drive, to the parking, to the second floor, to the entrancex to owner greeting you, to the fully stocked bar, to the balcony over looking ther city streets, to the smell of food from the kitchen and the smell of the city streets with the smell of the ocean and slight humidity, the warm welcome from the staff and owner. This is before I even got the food, 3 of us ordered, 2 veg's bunnies and 1 mutton bunny. This has been the best bunny I have ever eaten, the flAvour, the presentation, it was absolutely to die for. Seriously the food had that wow factor, and the pricing is very reasonable. Seriously if you haven't been here, you should pop pass and decide for yourself. I'm a very much a happy...

Update Visited 19 Aug 2023: Please note we wanted to go back based on the reviews on Tik Tok for the top Dog jumbo hot dog and wife wanted the bunny chow. Bunny: was not the taste nor quality we expected as previously- very cold bread...little gravy and filling...could be due to us going there around 3pm on a Saturday where the bottom of the pot remained.. I'll go back to try again as this is not the happy chappy usual standard. 5/10

The top dog was simple but amazing and could feed maybe 2 to 3 ... it was an experience to see that mammoth hotdog with juicy smoked Russians, chips, bacon and cheese arrive at our table. Was amazing 7/10

Service was awesome as always 10/10 Keep up the great work and stay as humble and customer orientated as you are.

Maybe work on heating up ur serving trays and maybe closing off a bit of ur balcony for the...
