Cape Town has no shortage of restaurants and might be known for fine dining and larney wine pairings, but the majority of mense don’t wine and dine. Instead they prefer home-grown flavours of local dite.
So it’s no wonder that The Golden Dish in Gatesville, Athlone has been voted Cape Town’s favourite takeaway spot.
In a poll carried out by local cooldrink brand Jive, Golden Dish came out tops, beating Home of the Whopper, Wembley Roadhouse in Belgravia, and Eastern Food Bazaar in the CBD.
People could vote for their favourite restaurant or takeaway by using #LetsJiveTogether on social media platforms.
Jive spokesperson, Sean Burton, says: “While Cape Town is the foodie capital of South Africa, the real flavours have been battling it out on the streets, and we decided it was time these foods were united under one banner.
“The Western Cape’s food culture consists of more than just fine dining and fancy food pairings. It’s about the diversity of foods and flavours that represent everyone.”
Located on the corner of Hazel and Klipfontein roads in Gatesville, Golden Dish has become a Cape Town institution since it opened in the 1960s.
It is a favourite stop to fuel up, whether you are on your way to the jol or returning from it.
Golden Dish owner, Mohamed Rafiq Parker, says: “It means we’re doing something right to be named as the people’s favourite. Our food is addictive.”
Ebrahim Adams says he drives all the way from his home in Mitchells Plain to buy at Golden Dish.
“The food is lekker, and you get a lot for little money. My favourite is the steak gatsby.”
So whether you crave a full house steak gatsby cut in four to share with friends, a chiproll after a night of clubbing or just a samoosa to nibble on before your next meal, Golden Dish is the first choice for many.
