I've been visiting this place a good couple of times now over the last two years and I'm yet to be disappointed.The meals are always served hot without a long wait too.On my last visit I had my usual Mutton Curry Bunny Chow and it hit the spot just right.I've had the Sugar Beans Bunny Chow as previously, and that is also a high recommendation.Service is always quick and efficient from the owner himself.A place I would highly recommend if you are on the Durban Beachfront.

If its heat you are after, then you will get it here. More sting than flavour. Super prompt service. However it was not the best bunny chow I have had in Durban. The gravy was quite heavily laden with oil and cheaper cuts of meat were used. Both my husband and I did not finish our bunnies, which is a very rare occurance.

They say in JHB the best place to find a bunny in on the N3 and head all the way down south. That is definitely true and that place is Happy Chappy. This gem of a place has been open for 32 years and counting, located in Durban City. If you looking for a complete experience, look no further. Please note it's unique and I definitely found the entire atmosphere very appealing. From the drive, to the parking, to the second floor, to the entrancex to owner greeting you, to the fully stocked bar, to the balcony over looking ther city streets, to the smell of food from the kitchen and the smell of the city streets with the smell of the ocean and slight humidity, the warm welcome from the staff and owner. This is before I even got the food, 3 of us ordered, 2 veg's bunnies and 1 mutton bunny. This has been the best bunny I have ever eaten, the flAvour, the presentation, it was absolutely to die for. Seriously the food had that wow factor, and the pricing is very reasonable. Seriously if you haven't been here, you should pop pass and decide for yourself. I'm a very much a happy chappy. Thank you

My go-to for the most consistent bunnies in Durban. Can be a bit oily at times but that is a quality that makes a good mutton bunny a good mutton bunny. Meat quality and serving is always on point, and pricing is good too. Jay is a great host and it's a lovely spot to chillax. Parking is an issue though.

Excellent bunny chows made to perfection...the venue is small and intermate with a variety of food items on offer... We had the mutton bunny which has to be one of the best around...the owner was very friendly and polite... Highly recommended and I hope to try the other dishes on offer...

The menus have been revamped and new items added. Many favorites on the menu such as the samp and mutton, beef bunny, M4 mince sandwich, Chip, cheese & gravy and the breakfast.A nice secluded area at the back and drop down sails to keep the weather from affecting your experience.Take aways available and a variety of local and imported beers that wouldn't commonly be seen elsewhere.

I had a quarter mutton bunny and my son has a quarter beans bunny with mutton gravy. Whilst the beans with mutton gravy wasn't on the menu, the staff were extremely accommodating.Both bunnies were great and very flavourful. Will highly recommend and we will go back for future meals.

This little take away has stood the test of time. They are trading for over 30 years, so they must be doing something right. By chance I happen to cone a cross them this afternoon located at their same spot in Mangrove Beach Centre, North Beach Durban, I order a quarter mutton bunny which a eat on their seated balcony area. I remembered this place from 20 odd years ago. The food was served on a large army mess tray with plenty of salads and over flowing gravy. I dug inn, and enjoyed each and every bite of the delicious bunny with a lovely patatoe. Meat was tender and the spices was just the correct mixture resulting in the perfect gravy. Just a note sitting on the balcony does allow for your food to get cold quicker. On exit I chatted with the friendly owner Jay. And reminisce about days gone by and the changes that have come. He been trading there for more than 34 years and when I told him that he must be doing something right, he was the first to admit that it was not easy and he faced many a difficult days by he persevered. Oh the plus factor is They are Licensed so you can order your favorite alcoholic drink with your delicious meal. Highly recommend.
