Pahari African Restaurant — Restaurant in Salt River

Ordered from Uber Eats. Had the 'pan friend fish' which was basically deep fried, golden BROWN, rock hard and barely anything to eat at all. Might I add it just came by itself. Just a whole brown fish in a styrofoam container. No sides nothing, for 70R !!!!! Also ordered the 'road runner' (chicken stew) which hardly had any taste and the chicken was EXTREMELY tough to the point where I couldn't even swallow it was so chewy. I called them and complained and the lady argued with me telling me I should have known the fish was fried, and that if I wanted softer chicken I should have ordered something else, not road runner. 1.

I don't believe there's a better African food in Cape Town. The food is always fresh and their quality is very consistent. Pricing is very competitive as well and the seating options are inside and outside. With new spacing requirements this type of seating is very ideal. One more thing, generally African restaurants make Pap/ Sadza and store it to be microwaved, Pahari Restaurant does not do that, every plate comes straight out of the pot per order and into your plate. That is attention to detail. You may also want to try their popular Mazowe orange juice while uou wait for your food. In this economy where value for your buck is important, Pahari is one of those "must...
