Review Update

I haven't been posting too many reviews lately due lack of free time.

I still go out and sample many bunny chows and some places are not worth even commenting on. It seems as if these establishments don't even care about quality anymore - which is quite sad because the price of the bunny chow has sky rocketed. Its no longer a value meal (unless you go to Johnny's Chip and Ranch)

I want to inform you of an establishment which was once the pinnacle of the best curry you could find in Durban which has now turned into one of those mass production eating houses that has lost its magic.

It is no other than Jaipur Palace. I know, some of you'll reading might be thinking "What is this guy talking about - Jaipur is still one of the best".

Well, you may be right but let me take you back a few years when they first opened their doors. You'll would have remembered that fusion of the Durban curry with that North Indian flavour they are famous for (like their Korma's / Roghan Josh / Vindaloos etc.). The curry was delicious. Give their curries a try now - you will notice that there is a huge change. It is more tomato based than anything else. What i'm trying to say is that its more of a chutney than a curry.

They also trying to mask the bad taste with extra heat - added masala which kills the flavour. I think their changed their cook.

The meat and size of the bunny hasnt changed - which is a good thing. The price is a bit high though.

Its quite depressing to  know that you cannot get a good bunny anymore at Jaipur Palace - and its my wife's favorite restaurant. To make matters worse, both the Chatsworth and Durban North branches have the same issue.

I have given up on their bunny chows - however they make everything else on the menu very well. Their buffet is still the best and I still regard them as the best Indian restaurant in Durban. I'm getting hungry at this point - feeling for their butter chicken.
