South Indian restaurant

Summary: don’t go there if you’re Black. 3 of us sat down to eat shortly after 8pm and didn’t receive our meals until close to 9:30pm, alongside other tables that had come AFTER us. We watched the manager and wait staff tend to all the other tables around us, meanwhile, no one checked on our table to see if we needed more drinks or anything else. When our food arrived, the rice was cold & I personally took it to the manager who said she would provide fresh food but only heated it in the microwave. Our parantha was brought out overcooked, which is why also returns. Again, no one asked if our meals were okay or if we needed anything else. By this time,I had finished my first drink & my glass was empty. The table behind us, the waiter was calling the guys “boss” & asking if they were okay. The same service was being given to all the tables except us. At this point, we’ve been at the restaurant for 1.5 hrs & NO ONE IS CHECKING ON US. So we asked to speak to the manager & tried to explain that as the only table with Black people in the restaurant, we felt that we were being treated differently. She then got upset at us for calling the service racist and said to us that we should be grateful she gave us a table because “it’s such a busy night.” We walked in, just like the other tables, so why should we feel “lucky” to eat there? As we walked out, upset because the manager blamed us for our own experience, she began to talk to the table of white Germans next to us who had decided to involve themselves in our conversation, explaining to them how she felt attacked by us. The manager did not apologize for our treatment or try to make things better. She seemed bothered that we would question her. It’s clear, Sundoo is for a certain kind of person, and it is not a Black person. Such a shame that this is happening in 2023, do better. The photos are her complaining to other guests about us & then walking away when she saw me recording.

The place is decent. Actually, it looked like it would be a great place to experience. But,1. The two things we ordered were both finished or not available! Vetkoek w/beef and Lamb curry w/roti.2. The servers were not very welcoming. We wanted to use the bathroom and they literally MADE us order FIRST before we could use the facilities, even after we told them we were there as patrons. We felt profiled and super uncomfortable.On any other day, I'd credit this place with being one of the VERY FEW halaal food places in Langebaan. But the treatment left a lot to be desired. I ended up ordering Beef curry w/Roti but gave it away without eating it. I hate the feeling I got standing in that cafe. Perhaps, when others visit, they will be treated better. I felt belittled.

Another unbelievable meal at the best Indian restaurant. I tried the butter chicken it was the best I have ever had. I like to order the pineapple curry and mix it with the chicken curry.

Quaint India restaurant that serves amazing Indian flavours. It was great to have curry away from home.

Very disappointing experience...Ordered Butter Chicken with rice & Naan, and a half lamb chow. Was told only when collecting food that lamb is finished (so got a beef bunny) and the rice was out of stock (only after noticing it was missing and after I had paid for it). The butter chicken was disgusting/ overly runny and the roti was undercooked. The bunny was nice...but even that's pushing it.

So eating at an indian restaurant is always a challenge when your mom is an Iron chef. I am proud to say that this Indian restaurant scored a 10 out of 10 critic from me. That's hard to get that out of me, especially when I can't eat hot food. Darn!!!. Butter chicken was crazy perfect and so was the mutton breyani. Butbitvwas the service that blew us away.

Great food and fantastic service. Definitely my new favorite spot. Highly recommend!

This is a very lovely place in Sea Point. It is close to the road so the outside will be very busy. The food was a delight and the service was great. The lady kept checking that we were okay, she served with a smile and made small talk occasionally. I would say that it is child friendly. It was a wonderful experience. If you are looking for delicate and delicious Southern Indian cuisine then I would definitely recommend Sundoo.

I enjoyed dinner here with my colleagues recently and I had a mushroom/truffle pasta with added chicken and a mango daiquiri (according to the waiter they were out of strawberries, so no strawberry daiquiri for me which was my only let down. The food was good, I really wish I had ordered the butter chicken one of my colleagues had (it tasted soooo goood!) and our waiter was friendly and attentive. I am definitely coming back to have the butter chicken!

This is definitely not a “curry bar”. It’s stew.I asked for mutton curry & received beef curry. After querying, they tried to convince me it’s mutton. As someone born and bred in Durban, I am disappointed.
