While in the Durban area, we researched the best place to get bunny chow, and this restaurant came up again and again. Cane Cutters did not disappoint. It’s situated in a nice neighborhood, within walking distance to a large mall, and has a clean, open interior and nice vibe. We both decided on the deluxe mutton — mutton with no bone and little fat content — for our dishes. My husband got the quarter bunny chow, and I ordered the curry with rotis. We both agreed our meals were superb. The mutton was tender and spicy, with just enough juice and potatoes. While we were both full afterwards, we also both wanted more and would have gone back had we had more time in Durban. The price, especially for such quality meat, was incredibly reasonable for the amount of food we received. We cannot recommend Cane Cutters highly enough. (And if you want even more proof that this is the best bunny chow, check out the awards on the tables!)

Cane cutters has always delivered for myself and my family whenever we are in Durban (Umhlanga). The meals are always so fresh and delicious. Dee's is always so welcoming, friendly and provides impeccable service to his customers. Very professional at what he does. Keep up the good work Dees. Regards Devan

NO NO NO!!! Not the best bunny in Durban!! Best bunny in SA!!! Got here every time we are in town. Never have I been disappointed. Maybe I should try something else, but The bunnies are just to good to be ignored. Denio and Rabia were excellent hostesses. Albertometer: Atmosphere 9/10 Staff 9/10 Food 9/10 Price 9/10 Overall 36/40 Still giving someone a change to do better.

I ordered dinner from Canecutters Glenwood via Uber Eats for the first time and only received 2 out of the 3 items I paid for. I tried calling Canecutters five times before they closed but got no answer. Since we can't reach them until tomorrow, one person unfortunately has no dinner. This is very disappointing and inconvenient. I'd like a resolution as soon as possible.

This place has so much hype in which the experience was killed by bad service. Placed an order that never showed up and after 30 minutes I was told that my order was still not ready but looked like the order was not taken at all. Such a great place, clean and reasonably priced but bad service. Will try it again when in the area again

I visited this place with family and was not impressed at all. The food and service were pathetic. Management really needs to wake up. I ordered mutton curry and it tasted sour as if left in the fridge for a week. Will never go back there again.

Lunch visit with the family. Portions are bigger than expected so beware. Mutton bunny was superb. Broad bean bunny also also absolutely delicious.. Meat lovers and vegetarians were all kept happy! Great service and nice atmosphere. Lots of locals... Always good sign. Must visit when in Durban.

Unfortunately we won’t be coming back. Ordered a butter chicken which was more a normal curry (def not a tomato base which is how butter chicken should be!). I also and asked for spicy but the dish came in super mild. It was not a bad flavor but I just expected something different. I was also told they can’t make it spicy which is rather unacceptable for an Indian place. The rice is not a not a traditional basmati but some rather unflavored cheaper version. Prices and service are good though.

Still a winner. They close at six to accommodate the staff that travels far and wide. The staff are friendly and helpful. The management is superb. Visited them for the first time. I have been at the Umhlanga branch and the food is also the same. Albertometer Atmosphere 8/10 Staff 8/10 Food 9/10 excellent as always Price 8/10 Well priced Overall 33/40 They Rock

After hearing rave reviews about this restaurant, we decided to stop in for lunch. We ordered the samosas as appetizers. My wife got the mince samosas, which she said were terrible; I ordered the corn and cheese samosas which were average. As our main course, my wife had the mutton roti, which was "good"; I ordered the butter chicken roti which could have used more fresh cilantro and was pretty good. Both dishes came with a carrot salad. Will we go back? Yes, if we're in the area, but we probably won't make a special trip.

The food is good. If you call and place an order for pickup, it’s generally ready by the time you get there. There are some days where the food is not as good as others. Finding that the quality at the umhlanga branch is a lot better

Great bunny. We ordered a chicken and mutton 1/4 bunny on the bone. Chicken pieces were breast and a tad dry. Sauce was delicious though. The mutton was faultless. Shout out to Dineo our server, friendly and a great sales lady.

Such a great vibe. Quick service. Extremely clean. Friendly staff. Sbu our waiter was so sweet and helpful. The bunnies were of such amazing quality. We shared the 1/4 mutton bunny and it was a large portion. The curry was delicious. Will definitely recommend this for an authentic Durban Indian foodie experience 👏🏼

Roadside parking. Neat outside and inside. We paid for our muutton bunnies and took our seats. No waiters. We collected our meal through a hatch. For chilli heat 5/10. Presentation acceptable on a polystyrene plate. Meat quality 8/10, taste 6/10. Disappointing experience overall.
