I visited Cape Town (and Ghana - the post previous to this one) as part of the Fall 2012 Semester at Sea voyage. Although the ship was docked in Cape Town, I spent much of time in a town just north of the city, Blouberg. Blouberg is on the coast and is the ideal spot for post-card pictures of Table Mountain. It is also a tremendous location for Indian food. Although there are three restaurants in town, I ventured to one, twice - the Indian Kitchen and Deli.
On the first trip, I had a traditional Tikka Masala with chicken. The portion size was just ok and flavor was nothing to rave about. However, the conversation with the owner (a native of England) was wonderful. I learned about Cape Town's history, the racial situation of present, and Indian-food culture in Cape Town and South Africa.
I returned for more conversation and to try a South African Indian food staple - Bunny Chow. Bunny Chow is essentially a bread bowl filled with an Indian curry. Bread bowl with soup is great! Bread bowl with Indian food - amazing!
