The bunny chow that changed my mind ๐ Modern Tailors, Rosebank
I'll be honest with you โ I usually don't love Indian food from restaurants. It's often overpriced for what you get, small portions, and too much bony stew instead of proper meat. So I went into this one a sceptic. Modern Tailors changed my mind completely.
It's in The Zone at Rosebank, and their weekly lunch special board (11amโ4pm) is one of the best I've seen. But here's the magic: when you order a bunny chow, they bake your bread FRESH, to order, in these old coffee tins. I've never seen that anywhere โ most places use bread baked that morning, or the day before. Freshly baked bunny bread on the spot is a genuine 10/10 experience.
We went in as a family. Matt had the lamb bunny (R165), I had the chicken bunny (R115), and my wife had the daily lamb curry. Proper portions, real tender meat, not a bone in sight โ and every single one was a 9/10. The curry's rich, the bread's unreal.
A tip: on Thursdays it's "Bunny & B**r" โ you get a free Devil's Peak draught with any bunny chow. They've also got daily curry specials, Friday biryani, and a happy hour. As always, we paid our own bill and showed the slip. ๐งพ
For Rosebank โ one of the priciest spots in Joburg โ this is a genuine find, and I'd highly recommend it.
