Holi Cow

Been here for the cooking classes. Been here for the Madame Curry evenings. And I will keep coming back because the food is so amazing. And at least once a month I stop here to pick up the most buttery, filled unique curried pies (think lamb vindaloo and butter chicken pies) and the tastiest biscuits. A hidden gem in the heart of Fourways.

A Culinary Journey to Authentic Indian Flavors Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) I recently had the pleasure of visiting Yudhika & Company, and I must say, it was an extraordinary culinary experience that transported me straight to the heart of India. This restaurant offers an ambiance that perfectly complements its exceptional cuisine. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the use of an open woodfire, which lent an unmistakable authenticity to every dish. The aromas of spices and roasted masalas wafting through the air set the stage for a memorable gastronomic adventure. The menu boasts a wide array of mouthwatering options, each prepared with a dedication to preserving the true essence of Indian flavors. From the moment the first bite touched my palate, I knew I was in for a treat. The curries, a hallmark of Indian cuisine, were masterfully executed. The depth of flavors and the perfect balance of spices in each curry showcased the chef's expertise and passion. The rotis, baked to perfection, were the ideal accompaniment to the rich curries. Soft and flavorful, they provided a delightful contrast to the robustness of the main dishes. Additionally, the selection of cakes and sweetmeats was nothing short of delightful. These desserts served as a sweet symphony to conclude the savory journey. On this occasion, I opted for the crayfish curry paired with fragrant Basmati rice and soft roti. The marriage of fresh seafood with the richness of the curry was a revelation. The tender crayfish absorbed the flavors of the sauce, creating a harmonious blend of taste and texture. The Basmati rice, with its long grains and delicate aroma, was the perfect canvas for the robust curry, and the soft roti added a comforting element to the dish. I cannot recommend Yudhika & Company enough. It is a culinary haven for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience. Whether it's a special occasion or simply a desire for genuine Indian cuisine, this restaurant is a true gem. I am already looking forward to my next visit, eager to explore more of their tantalizing offerings. In conclusion, if you are a connoisseur of authentic Indian flavors prepared with utmost care and love, Yudhika & Company is a must-visit. Prepare yourself to embark on a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds dancing and your heart content.

Yudhika is my go-to for curry’s , sweet and savoury goodies as well as special occasions. Oh … and the essential ginger/garlic and spices. Every year she does a special order of sweetmeats for me and caters for some on my kids fussy needs. She makes the most amazing cakes … this time I had one arranged for my brothers birthday and it was amazing 🤩

Certainly different and also seemingly super popular! I honestly don’t know where to begin but I should start off by saying that by their food is definitely freshly made and is quite tasty. The staff are efficient and friendly which is quite impressive considering the chaotic mess that I had witnessed. You cannot sit and dine in this establishment. It seems as though you have to order in advance but I can’t say how that works because I haven’t seen a menu. Maybe they have different dishes everyday or it’s a set thing, I can’t really say. They did manage to assist us even though we didn’t order in advance so for future reference I’ll definitely do so because it would have been horrendous if we had driven for 1 hour and 30 minutes to find that they had nothing to sell. Pastries are amazing, they taste just as good as they look. We had the lamb curry but for myself personally it was leaning towards more of a stew than a curry in terms of flavour/spice. Uhm, I can’t give a price indication either as I didn’t see the menu. We did get 1KG lamb biryani, 1KG Lamb curry with 8 rotis, 1/2KG Sri Lankan chicken, 4 snowballs, a donut and a steamed sweet thing for roughly R800 plus. So it seems reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend but do order in advance.
