Lonely Planet review

Jo'burg is awash with award-winning restaurants offering just about every world cuisine, but for a taste of the new city in surroundings that reflect its past, there's nothing quite like Kapitan's. Don't let the grubby stairwell put you off - this is a Jo'burg institution, with authentic Indian food and eccentric décor that's been attracting luminaries for years.

It is positively unpretentious and one of the few places in town where you'll see young lions black and white drinking with hepcats and grizzly city stalwarts groaning about how it's all gone to the dogs.
