From a lamb bunny chow in Kimberley to a pizza shared in Upington, ten stops worth keeping in mind when the road is long and lunch is overdue.

Somewhere between the last town and the next, the conversation on a Northern Cape road trip turns to lunch. By then, someone has usually opened the packet of chips meant for later. In Kimberley, lunch might mean a lamb bunny chow on Woodley Street. In Kathu, it might mean putting a pizza in the middle of the table and letting everyone reach for a slice.

These are ten editorial picks across Kimberley, Upington, Kathu and Kuruman. The halaal details are specific to each branch. Some outlets are listed by the South African National Halaal Authority (SANHA), while others are identified by the business or a dining directory. If you require a current certificate or an alcohol-free dining room, check with the branch before setting out.

1. Al-Makkah Family Restaurant in Kimberley

Location: Shop no, 9 Woodley St, CBD, Kimberley, 8301

A lamb bunny chow is a good reason to turn down Woodley Street. The hollowed-out bread is part of the pleasure, especially the last pieces where the curry has soaked in. The restaurant lists the dish on its delivery menu and trades there as Al-Makkah Family Restaurant Halaal. Find it at shop 9, Woodley Street.

Sublime Recommendation: Beef Hot Sauce Sizzler.Beef in hot sauce, served sizzling on a hot plate.

2. Don Bau Food in Kimberley

Location:ON BAU FOOD/POLAR ICE CREAM, 79 Phakamile Mabija Rd, CBD, Kimberley, 8300

This is the pizza stop to remember in central Kimberley. Order something to share and give yourself a few minutes away from the car. SANHA lists Don Bau Food at 79 Phakamile Mabija Road, and the business publishes its pizza menu online.

Sublime Recommendation: The Burgers

3. BMH Bakery in Kimberley

Location:shop no 3, 11 Beit St, Kimberley North, Kimberley, 8301, South Africa

Every road trip needs something for later. A bakery stop gives you a chance to see what’s on the counter and put something aside for the stretch between towns. SANHA lists BMH Bakery at shop 3, 11 Beit Street, in Kimberley North.

4. Honchos on Bultfontein Street in Kimberley

Location: 8 Bultfontein St, Kimberley, 8300

Some lunches are decided as soon as someone says chicken and chips. Keep this Honchos in mind when the group wants a quick takeaway and there’s still a drive ahead. The branch at 108 Bultfontein Street appears in SANHA’s restaurant directory.

Sublime Recommendation: The Burgers and ah you can decide when you Hungry 🙂

5. Mochachos at North Cape Mall in Kimberley

Location: 28, North Cape Mall, 62 Memorial Rd, Royldene, Kimberley, 8300

Here the question is how much heat you want with lunch. Mochachos is a Mexican-inspired chicken stop for a group that can agree on where to eat but wants a say in the spice. North Cape Mall lists the branch on Memorial Road, and the dining directory Zabihah reports that it has halaal certification.

Sublime Recommendation: Chicken Mochachos Chips and Burgers 🙂

6. Pedros at Kathu Village Mall

Location: Shop 25A, Mall, Hendrik Van Eck Rd, Kathu, 8446

Flame-grilled chicken is an easy order when everyone is hungry and nobody wants a long debate over the menu. This Pedros is in shop 25A at Kathu Village Mall. SANHA lists this branch as certified.

Sublime Recommendation: Chicken,Burgers 🙂 Again just Go for it

7. Pedros Drive-Thru in Kuruman

Location: 92 Main St, Kuruman, 8460

Put this one on the list for the day when Kuruman is a stop between two places. A drive-through chicken lunch is handy when you still have daylight to make use of. SANHA lists this Pedros at 92 Main Street.

10. McDonald’s at Kalahari Mall in Upington

Location: Rondom St, Kalahari Mall Road, Upington, 8801

This is the practical stop when the car is packed, the next stretch is long and everyone already knows what they want. The chain’s locator places the Upington branch at Kalahari Mall, and McDonald’s South Africa says the Muslim Judicial Council Halaal Trust approves its South African restaurants.

On the Northern Cape’s long roads, a meal can change the rhythm of the day. You get out of the car, pass the chips around, and find that nobody is in quite such a hurry to leave.
