Onions&All Take-Away Restaurant

I’m Nick Hamman and if you want to eat steak and prawns in Soweto together with a classic kasi kota, you need to save this video and check out Onions & All in Pimville.

This spot is beautiful and I’m already thinking about coming back. Well decorated with friendly service, I started off with the Surf & Turf platter for R270.

The steak was basted in a flavourful BBQ sauce and cut into tender pieces, served in a traditional kasi style but with an elevated flair — the kind of meat that shows the care of an accomplished grill master.

The six prawns in lemon butter could go toe-to-toe with anything you’d find at a fancy seafood joint across town. Proper flavour.

The crispy deep-fried onions and onion rings hit the spot, and the chips had that perfect kasi-style balance between crispy and slap — with the chip spice we all know only Mzansi gets right.

The salad brought a welcome crunch: red onions, olives, tomato, peppers, lettuce, cucumber, crumbled feta, and a tangy dressing that didn’t overpower the plate.

I was impressed by the seafood, but I had to test the kasi credentials — so I ordered their monster kota. A toasted loaf of bread packed with lettuce, chips, Russians, polony, a patty, processed cheese, onion rings, and enough sauce to swim in. It had a decent, unmistakable kick and cost just R60.

Looking around at the sharply dressed crowd arriving for the Sunday evening R&B party, I wasn’t sure if I should eat this kota with my hands or a knife and fork. But then I remembered who I am — and what you guys came to see.
