Saldanha curry fans can now enjoy authentic Durban style cuisine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JMPA Indian Cuisine, which opened on Monday 25 April, was a dream come true for Reddi who spent 18 years in the defence force. After 10 years on the SAS Saldanha base, the former chief petty officer says she and her family feel at home on the West Coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was an adjustment at the beginning,\u201d she admits, \u201cas I\u2019m originally from the big city of Durban. Now I really love this place and want to share my passion for cooking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diners don\u2019t have to be fearful of the Durban heat at JMPA Indian Cuisine, as dishes can be made with \u201cless burn\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But those who are brave of heart \u2013 and stomach \u2013 can be sure to try the wonderful dishes, which include traditional breyani, rotis, bunny chows, butter chicken and their soon-to-be famous samoosas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JMPA Indian Cuisine is located at 79 Main Street, Saldanha. They are open Monday to Friday from 11:00 to 18:00 and Saturday from 10:00 to 15:00, it also provides takeaways for customers.
