The cuisine of KwaZulu-Natal reflects its rich history with influences ranging from the Zulu nation's indigenous foods to African, European and Indian traditions. A combination of fertile soils and cultural diversity is the order of the day in a province where the best of Zulu, Indian, and European food genres combine to deliver delicious dining opportunities.
The food terroir of KwaZulu-Natal includes sugar cane forests, plantations of bananas and pineapples, and sardine runs. An influx of refugees from everywhere Africa has helped spark an explosion of African flavors within the key cities of the Republic of South Africa.
The area is home to many Indian origin South Africans whose ancestors came as indentured sugar cane workers in the 1860's. This community's profound impact on the food in the area is evident in the province's most popular street food, half a loaf of curry-filled bread, known as a Bunny Chow. A hot favorite is the mutton curry bunnies at Silverman's top with mango pickle.
