Durban-style take away · Garsfontein · Since 2011

Pretoria's best bunny chow. Officially.

Mutton on the bone that falls apart. Breyani cooked down slow. A quarter loaf hollowed out and filled to the rim. Every order cooked fresh, never from under a heat lamp.

The house six

The masala is roasted, the meat goes in raw, and it cooks down slow until the gravy is thick enough to hold a roti. These are the plates people come back for.

Our story · est. 2011

Pretoria East had no proper Durban curry. So we started cooking it.

4 Chilli Indian Takeaway was founded in 2011 to fill a gap: there was no authentic, traditional Durban-style curry, masala or Indian spice in Pretoria East. We set out to cook it properly, with carefully roasted masalas and spices, fresh rotis, a variety of samoosas and, of course, the bunny chows.

Everything at 418 Jacqueline Drive is made to order. That takes a little longer, but it means every dish reaches you fresh. Our samoosas are fried and served immediately. We also keep a steady stock of premium masalas, authentic spices and quality frozen foods, so the full range is always on the shelf.

  • No heat lamps. Nothing pre-plated, nothing reheated.
  • No deliveries. WhatsApp or call ahead, then collect.
  • No shortcuts on vegan. Bean, dhall and veg curries on their own base.
