As a home grown Durbanite I am very fussy abt bunnies. BedfordBunny definitely knocks it out the park every time! The gravy is rich, the meat is more than sufficient and the bread soft. It’s flavourful as well. Well worth the price for a quarter mutton bunny and once you’re done it’s time to hybernate like a python! Since I found this place I have made it a habit to get a bunny at least once a week!
I recently enjoyed a delicious Mutton Curry Bunny Chow from Bedford bunny, and I'm eager to share my experience. Food: 4/5 The mutton curry filling was tender, flavorful, and rich, with a depth of spices that hit the spot. However, it was a tad spicier than I'm used to - a pleasant surprise, but not ideal for those who prefer milder flavors. The curry-to-bread ratio was perfect, with the soft, slightly crispy bunny chow holding its own against the generous filling. Service: 5/5 The service was top-notch! Staff at BB is always friendly. Overall: Bedford bunny delivers an authentic, mouth-watering Mutton Curry Bunny Chow that's sure to satisfy. While the heat level caught me off guard, the quality and flavor made up for it. Suggestions: - Consider adding a spice level indicator on the menu - Offer milder options for those who prefer less heat Will I return? Absolutely!
Love this place. The gents were very kind, polite, and welcoming. The whole shop is crystal clean. They have China fruit, etc. We had a beef and a mutton bunny. Beautiful. So tasty, very well packaged, labelled. It's really worth a visit. Come hungry, there was so much meat, I couldn't finish my quarter beef
The Best Place in Mondeor... absolutely love the staff! Food... My daughter's favorite place.. she even wanted to have her birthday party there! And it turned out amazing! Thank You Bedford Bunnies
I recently visited Bedford Bunny and tried their lamb bunny chow, an absolute standout. The curry was rich, full of depth, and generously filled with tender, flavorful lamb. What truly set the meal apart were their signature ginger-soaked chillies, packed with punch and perfectly balanced, they’re honestly addictive. If you're in search of a truly authentic Durban-style bunny chow, this place delivers. Highly recommended for both taste and authenticity. I’ll definitely be back!
As a foodie, I'm always on the lookout for authentic, mouth-watering dishes, and this one hits the spot. The lamb is tender and juicy, the curry sauce is rich and flavorful, and the bunny chow bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - perfection! Whether we're in the mood for a comforting, spicy treat or a satisfying meal, Bedford Bunny Chow never disappoints.Five stars and a big thumbs up.
