When I’m cooking anything other than chicken breasts and ground beef, it’s well worth drawing on the knowledge of an experienced butcher rather than navigating the cold impersonal aisles of the supermarket. I have found Satinder and his team to be ultra respectful, courteous and above all, a great source of knowledge about which cuts to use, how much to get, recipe ideas, and the like. They are well known for their tandoori chicken, and they earn that reputation. As expat South Africans, we love that we can buy fresh lamb there, as well as beef cut exactly to our specifications to make biltong.

East Indian butcher eh? I found out about this shop through a friend. They bought tandoori chicken from here and it was fantastic. So I decided to go back for more and it was relatively cheap. They also sell different type if chickens marinated in other sauces. I bought some steaks from there as well but I was unable to marinade the ethic smells from the meat. Note to self, don’t buy steaks there.

After reading the last review, I am going to try the super hot curry chicken. I agree, the owner/guy behind the counter(I did not know his name) is really friendly and gives a good bargain. I’ve gotten lamb and chicken and both have been fresh and good quality. I also get him to cut large beef bones for my dog — WAY more affordable than the pet store! He knows my vehicle when I pull up, so he gets the bones ready for me.

If you like chicken, this is the place to go. They are an Indian butcher shop who specializes in marinated and flavored meat. They’ll offer you curry and masala in either mild or burn you butt hair hot. It’s no joke. Satinder is the guy behind the counter. He’s so nice and not cheap. He likes to create a relationship with all his customers and does a good job doing it. I took a chance and ordered the hottest chicken I could find. Satinder gave me a cock eyed glance and shook his finger at me. «You sure you want to do this?» he said in his thick Indian tone. I shrugged. «yeah. Why not?» Still cock eyed. «You sure?» «yeah. Let me try it.» Cock eyed. «sure?» “What is this? A Monty Python skit? Gimme the damn chicken.“ He did. I ate. My colon burned for two days. I stick with the mild and it tastes perfect. I’m a big fan of curry chicken and this nis the only place I go for take out.
