From a family grill near the hot springs to takeaway at Bela Square and home cooking in Jinnah Park, here’s where to start when hunger catches up with you in Bela-Bela.
A morning at the hot springs has a way of turning “Where should we eat?” into the most urgent question of the day. In Bela-Bela, the answer depends on how much of an occasion you want to make of lunch. There’s a halaal-certified family restaurant at Forever Resorts, a local takeaway in Bela Square, and a couple of home-food businesses worth calling before you set off.
Tacoma Spur Halaal for a sit-down family lunch
Location:Forever Resorts, Voortrekker Rd, Bela-Bela, 0480
After a morning in the pools, there’s something to be said for a table where everyone can find something they fancy. Tacoma Spur has the familiar line-up of burgers, ribs and steaks, plus a children’s play area for anyone who still has energy to burn. The restaurant is at Forever Resorts on Voortrekker Road, and the South African National Halaal Authority (SANHA) lists this branch in its certified directory. If certification is the deciding factor for your group, start here. Nothing like a Spur in Bela Bela or Warmbaths
Sublime Recommendation:Anything Spur Ofcourse. Steaks, Ribs and More
Adam’s Foods for takeaway at Bela Square
Location: Shop 4, Bela-Bela Square, 122 Sutter Road (or Crockery Road area), Bela-Bela, Limpopo
Adam’s is the stop to look up when you’d rather pick up lunch and get on with the afternoon. The municipality lists Adam’s Takeaway at Shop 4, Bela Square, and local directories identify the same address as Adam’s Foods Halaal. An older food guide mentions Indian meals and savouries, so ask what’s cooking when you call. The takeaway is listed as halaal, though its current certification couldn’t be independently verified.Adams specializes in fast food and strictly Halaal Indian cuisine
Sublime Recommendation:Bunnies,Biryanis and Jumma Lunch menu
Julie’s Home Foods for a meal back at the chalet
Location: 21 Gardee St, Jinnah Park, Bela-Bela, 0480
If dinner at the chalet sounds better than another outing, try calling Julie’s Home Foods in Jinnah Park. Local guides list the home kitchen at 21 Gardee Street and describe a spread that runs from quick bites to rice dishes and sweet treats. Ask what’s available that day, whether you need to order ahead, and confirm the halaal arrangements when you call 072 916 2524.
Sublime Recommendation: Whatever tickles your fancy on the Day and is Available
Tazz’z Homemade D’Litez for a bunny chow or biryani
Location: 38B Stofberg Street, Bela-Bela, Limpopo
A bunny chow makes a good excuse to build lunch into the day’s plans. It’s one of the dishes previously listed for Tazz’z Homemade D’Litez, alongside biryani, curries and savoury platters. Local guides list the business at 38B Stofberg Street. Call 084 491 1131 before making a special trip to confirm that it’s taking orders, what’s on the menu and its current halaal arrangements.
For a day at the springs with the whole family, Tacoma Spur is the easiest lunch to plan around. If you’re spending the weekend in a chalet, make a call in the morning and see what the home kitchens are cooking. A takeaway curry and an evening with nowhere else to be is a fine way to end a day in Bela-Bela.
Sublime Recommendation: The Bunny Chow or Biryani
