Shisanyama Shandisi

Shisanyama Shandisi is one of the best street food places around town, where one can visit with family or friends and find relaxation.

The restaurant, which is situated at 8 Morrison Street, Rivertown, only started as an event late last year but later turned out to be one of the most highly-spokenof street food places in the city.

Founder Thamsanqa Dlamini said: “When we started as an event in August not everything made business sense; thereafter we decided to run something different and that is when we found 8 Morrison. On our first day of opening it was packed, from township people to people that live around town. As much as we see a lot of Shisanyamas in townships some people are not comfortable going to chill in them, hence they look for the vibe somewhere else around town; and, again, it is also not easy for other people to travel to townships and that is why I decided on Shisanyama Shandisi.”

Shisanyama Shandisi takes the simple food and formulates it into an urban version that will accommodate each and every type of culture.

It offers BBQ-based shisanyama brisket, chicken wings or grilled wors – any of which can be served with pap, steamed bread and chakalaka.

The Braai Pack 2 is the most popular meal as it is a platter that can accommodate up to six people. The place sees teenagers, the working class and entrepreneurs visiting it for lunch in a pleasant business area.
