I’m Nick Hamman and I’m looking for the best chicken in South Africa and today your comments have sent me to the birthplace of Charlize Theron, Benoni in the East of Joburg to come and try out Nabila’s Place, a small, understated spot, just outside a shopping mall, to taste  the flavours of authentic Mozambican cuisine. It may surprise some to learn of Mozambique’s Indian population, which makes for one of the most epic marriages of culinary fusion ever. The rissoles were R10 and exceptionally delicious. Chopped up prawns with herbs and spices, coated in breadcrumbs, and fried. For the quarter chicken and chips, which was R60, I went for their signature sauce done hot. It was incredibly delicious. A wonderful blend of classic Mozambique and distinctively Indian influences, with juicy, succulent meat. I would highly recommend checking out Nabila’s Place for yourself, but if it's not the best chicken in South Africa, you need to let me know in the comments where I’m

Im Nick Hamman, and I’m looking for the spiciest chicken in South Africa, and today, your comments have sent me to Fordsburg to The Al Makkah Tikka House. With all the makings of the classic tikka scene, chicken is braai’d outside on coals, with regular applications of the chili and lemon marinade applied as per the hungry patron’s choosing, on a brush directly to the chicken as it cooks. Consistent intervals of fanning also keep the red-hot coals consistent. I’ve come to Al Makkah before and had a brilliant experience, but I’ve never tried out their chicken tikka. Coming together with your choice of naan or chips, the quarter chicken goes for R45. A fair and standard price for similar meals in the area. To qualify my search, when I say spicy, I don’t mean burn your face-off for no good reason, but rather rich, aromatic, textures with beautiful flavours that show that the place appreciate good food, with just the right amount of heat to satisfy the craving and I’ve got to…

I’m Nick Hamman, and today your comments have sent me, together with my new friend and fellow food content creator Tidima to Hanifia Fried Chicken

I might have just found the best chicken in South Africa, here at Amman in Fordsburg

If you want to eat what some say is the spiciest chicken in South Africa, you need to come to Al Hamra on 70 Mint Road in Fordsburg. The epitome of not judging a book by its cover the exterior may not be inviting, but stepping inside, I found the restaurant to be clean and the service attentive.

If you're looking for authentic and delicious Mozambican food in South Africa, you need to come to Moza's in Norwood, Johannesburg. As someone who's had the privilege of visiting Mozambique, to me their food is among the best in the world, and I've got to say that here they're doing it just like you'll find it across the border. With a wide variety of options on the menu, one of the characteristic differences is that their chicken is chargrilled, giving it a bold, smoky flavor. Mozambican food is a vibrant fusion of Portuguese, African, and Indian influences, with dishes like peri-peri chicken, from the famous African bird's eye chili, spicy grilled prawns, fresh seafood, and aromatic spices. The food at Moza's reminded me of being back on the white sandy beaches against the backdrop of the ocean, with the air filled by the smell of food cooking outside on an open fire. To me, the pricing was reasonable, with a quarter chicken, six prawns, chips, and a roll going for R189. Classics…

I’m Nick Hamman and I’m looking for the best steak in South Africa and I may have just found it, along the main road of Jan Smuts in Parkwood Johannesburg at Che Argentine Grill which sees you walking in from the cold of the streets into this beautiful, dimly lit restaurant with an open kitchen and distinct nods to the heritage of its owners. Oscar, a Uruguay native who grew up in South Africa and Bernado who moved from Argentina only some years ago. Our starters selection included Gambas al ajillo, shrimp  in garlic-infused olive oil with smoky hints of paprika and a touch of sherry sweetness, and Peruvian ceviche with Fish, lime juice, onion and chili. But the main event I was here to treat myself to was a 28-day dry aged 500-gram Rib Eye. Aged meat is pricey, and the prices may not be on the menu, so check beforehand. It is richer, beefier, and a lot more tender than standard steaks as the enzymes in the meat break down connective tissue during the aging process. This steak…

I’m Nick Hamman and I’m looking for the best car wash food spot in South Africa in honor of the great SA tradition and today I’m out in Midrand, at the Corner of Old Pretoria Main Road and Olifantsfontein at a spot called TGees Car Wash and Eatery. Coming on a quiet midweek afternoon, I’m told the place can turn into a proper vibe over the weekend. Trying what I thought was a very affordable TGee’s grill for R65, I went for a plate of steak and served pap and my choice of 3 sides. Chakalaka, Beetroot and Cabbage. The staff were friendly, and as a massive bonus, the food came beautifully presented. The meat is tender, with a tasty basting on the steak and the sides fresh and filling. I’d highly recommend checking TGee’s Carwash and Grill out for yourself, but if it's not the best car was food spot in South Africa, you need to let me know in the comments where I’m going next

I’m Nick Hamman and I’ve got another epic plug for you. If you’re looking for a spot in Jozi to come and eat delicious food, hang out and catch the game and get your car washed, you should come to Kudu’s joint in Ivory Park, just outside Midrand. Offering both a specialist Kota as well as general menu, the place has everything from ribs, steak, and wings to a chips, atchar and polony Kota for R20. Kudu’s Joint is owned by Efrahaim Pilusa. Starting out here just before Covid in 2019, there have been  challenges, however today the spot is well established with a great reputation, with patrons coming from far and wide to enjoy the atmosphere. With so much great sport at the moment, this place is said to be pumping frequently. Going for the ribs, wings and chips combo, my meal came in at R140. As a start, I was impressed by the large ranges of available sauces, with chili being my choice of the day. The chips really were as good as they looked. They were hot, fresh and…
