The Eastern food bazaar is a definite 'must visit' to any tourist in Cape Town. It shows off the rainbow of South African culture in that the food served is typically Eastern yet this bazaar 8s in the heart of South Africa. The atmosphere and ambience is typically street like and it is interesting to sit in and observe the people of various cultures and social echelons who visit the place. Parking is very difficult as the streets are narrow and one has to be very wary of your environment after you park and while you en route to the bazaar on foot. Hang on to your handbags and ensure your valuables are out of sight. There is some visibility of security, but I would still be careful. It feels much safer once inside. The food looks very appetizing as you watch it being and the aromas are appealing too. You have to choose what you want, pay for it at the till, then take your till slips to the relevant chef to get your dish prepared. Each meals is of magnanimous quantity and if you have an appetite like mine(which is quite good) that quantity is enough to serve 2 people. Prices range from R65 to R75 for each dish which is very very reasonable. The food is simple but tasty. The visit to the bazaar is more about the experience than the taste. When in Rome, do as the Roman's do, and the experience elevates the taste. A handy tip:If you are on a budget holiday and want to spend your money on experiences instead of expensive food, then get your meals at this bazaar. You will definitely get more bang...

The food portions are as huge as ever. But the service needs a bit polishing. I get it. You just want us to spend the money. But you also need to satisfy the customers' requests.

I'm fairly new to this place, but thrice I've gotten to the counter to ask about food on the menu. All they tell you is "no" no further explanation. For example, I wanted akhni or breyani.. as it was a cold evening. I get to the counter. I can already see what I'm going to deal with as my insatiable hunger levels are increasing.

I ask the dude at the counter. If they have any akhni or breyani. He says straight... no... I'm a bit disturbed because they usually have ALOT of food... are they going to make?? Again, he first stares blankly into the abyss for a good 20 seconds... I can see I'm getting on his nerves because I asked him an extra question if there's specific rice food, and he didn't want to check. I'm like okay fine. Can I rather get 2 lamb shawarma with chips. And 2 portions of samoosas. He rings up the shawarmaz. But no samoosas. Again, I get it. It's a long night. I go to the dude in the white chef outfit next to him. Ask that he charges me for the samoosas. So I can not stand in the crazy line. Because it's unreal to have this much difficulty. To top it off. The dude in the white chef outfit. He looks at me as if I spat on his shoe. Lmfu it became amusing because I asked myself if this is reality at all. I get my food. Just as I'm leaving I see them bringing up the...
