Bihari

Bihari is one of my favourite Indian restaurants in the country.The price is worth every cent. I used to be a regular here when I lived in Cape Town a few years ago. When I visited Bihari last year, the staff still remembered me (5 years later) and we received the best service and the food was still just as delicious. Highly recommend.

The butter chicken is amazing, I've had it time and time again.

Fast and efficient service as well. The inside is very clean and spacious too.

It is slightly more expensive than the average Indian restaurant but it is 100% worth it. Very cool atmosphere with an open kitchen, very entertaining watching the chef making the naan bread (definitely one of the best naan we’ve had in Cape Town). Can’t wait to go back again!

Great food.... always! However I would say their prices have increased substantially over the years and I can't justify paying R185 for a curry. The portion size is regular... so not so much value for money quantity wise but still one of the better Indian places taste wise. Service is a bit inattentive and you have to really make an effort to get your waiters attention. But definitely one of the top 5 indian food spots in cape town.

One of the best in Cape Town with their warm and cosy traditional atmosphere, friendly and professional staff and of course, hearty traditional gourmet Indian cuisine at its finest. Oh and the house wine is really really good :) Will continue to keep coming back all the way from the Northern Suburbs for this experience!

I’ve been to Bihari multiple times and I’ve received different food quality each time. Some days the food is heavenly and you cannot stop yourself from consuming more (Particularly, the butter chicken with cheesy garlic naan). These times make the price feel worth it. Other days, the food is very average (making the hype-up to eat that same heavenly food we had before, utterly disappointing). I recently went with a group of friends to Bihari (knowing it would be a gamble regarding whether we would be served heavenly tasting food or just average food). The food was disappointingly very average. The dishes itself were warm (temperature), but the contents were barely even warm (I’m used to receiving their dishes hot and having to wait to let it cool down a bit-which is preferred). Additionally, I had requested for medium spice level (specifying that I didn’t want it too spicy, but not too mild either) but received mild for all the dishes, which made the dishes much less flavourful.

Going here is a gamble unless they’re able to adjust their inconsistencies in food quality. When it’s good, it’s fantastic. When it’s bad, it’s average.

Hard to rate. The food could have been excellent, but it was overwhelmed by the environment. It is located in a hotel, and is in some ways typical of that. The tables are covered in plastic sheets, the decor run down and dates back decades, the staff uninterested in the guests to the point of vacuuming the floor while some guests are still eating
