CaneCutters Umhlanga

Other Service in Durban Metro

Overview

CaneCutters is an Authentic Durban style curry restaurant in Glenwood, Durban. Here you can experience Durban's Best Bunny Chow.


The bunny chow has several suggested origins, but I am proud to say it is an absolutely 100% Durban invention.

Many moons ago, back when brits were rampantly colonising the country, indentured labourers were shipped in from India to work on the sugar cane fields.

With them came the tastes of India, curries, spices, cardamom, bay leaves, chillies, ginger and garlic.

One of the tales goes that since packaging wasn’t as easily available in 19’voetsek’, labourers would hollow out loaves of bread to transport their curries to work with them.

Another tale suggests that Apartheid laws meant that black customers were prohibited from being served at restaurants and the bunny chow was invented as a handy way for people to buy food that they could take away.
