Where To Get Your Chilli Kick In Joburg

Joburg Admin / May 6, 2016

Nothing tastes quite as good as a spicy meal. So we have compiled a list of restaurants to visit for great hot meals! Chilli al the way. Let's get started if you dare!

Lugz

In the heart of Ferndale hides one of our favourite restaurants in the country. Authentic Indian is the name of the game and we love playing there. This restaurant, right next to our old office, comes highly recommended for all things spicy. Their curries come in three choices: not spicy, mild and hot. The hot is perfectly hot and not under nor overwhelming as other restaurants. We recommend the vegetarian curries as every one of them is amazing.

dylan's

Food at dylan's will have you rolling your eyes back with sheer pleasure. And for your chilli kick, go straight for the Jalapeño Burger or Chilli Burger – definite hunger buster and chilli kicker!

Mama Mexicana

Don't mess with the chilli hotness of this restaurant's meals. Seriously, if you can't handle chilli, keep it mild. But for chilli experts, there's no better spicy kick than one from this joint! Mama Mexicana is your chilli destination of choice when it comes to hot stuff in Maboneng.

RocoMamas - Bedfordview

We went in search of Joburg's HOTTEST burger and discovered RocoMamas "Bedford Bomb"! Exclusive to RocoMamas Bedfordview. Have you got what it takes? [embed]https://www.facebook.com/Joburg.co.za/videos/1780885391940891/[/embed]

Mo-Zam-Bik

If the thought of Portuguese peri-peri sauce on your line fish, steak, chicken or prawn sounds like utopia, you might want to go to this restaurant immediately! You won't be disappointed.

Beira Alta

As any chilli addict would tell you, you often suffer withdrawal symptoms from not having enough chilli food in your diet. Beira Alta will definitely fix you up with their peri-peri meals that hit the spot!

Salsa Mexican Grill

So you want chilli food but with the social vibe atmosphere? You and your friends can enjoy some spicy nachos and jalapeño poppers with a side of Reaper HP22B craft tequila (signing a disclaimer is required) that will have everyone heated up at this restaurant.

Perron

Perron has great cocktails and the perfect Mexican food to go with it. Located in Illovo Junction and Hobart Grove Centre in Bryanston, if you haven't already been to any, then you're not serious about your chilli. Know of other chilli spots we haven't mentioned? Let us know below! Remember that our "Top Picks" are not paid for and are compiled at the discretion of the journalist. We only write about what we love.
