Looking for a lekker halaal breakfast in Johannesburg?
Whether you’re after perfectly poached eggs, a proper fry-up, French toast covered in all the good stuff, pancakes, freshly baked pastries or simply a great cup of coffee, Joburg’s halaal breakfast scene has come a long way.
We’ve eaten our way around Jozi in search of some of the best halaal breakfasts the city has to offer. From Rosebank and Sandton to Norwood, Greenside and beyond, these are the breakfast spots that we think are worth getting out of bed for.
And because this is Swoosh, we’re not recommending places just because they look good on Instagram. We’ll tell you what we ordered, what it cost, what we’d order again ā and whether we’d actually go back.
So loosen that belt a notch. Breakfast is served. And See what I find that is Simply Sublime
