Rating: 8/10

Janine: Nice but average. A bit bobotie-like.

Cornell: Nice flavour, there’s more meat than rice. Quite sweet.

Francis: Enjoyed ratio of meat to rice and texture of rice. A well-made curry. Melissa: Traditional Cape Malay flavours and not too sweet and fruity.

CHECKERS SPICE Mutton Biryani
