Thava Indian Restaurant has its roots in Kerala, India. Affectionately known as God’s own country, owner Mathew Abraham’s origins in this picturesque part of the world inspired the warm, inviting atmosphere, friendly service and outstanding food. Thava restaurants are running successfully in Norwood, Johannesburg, Gauteng and Ballito on the KZN North Coast. Owner Mathew Abraham, who hails from Kerala, was inspired to open Thava to give Jozi residents the opportunity to experence the food from this region. “Kerala is a blend of different cultures and religions – Hindu, Christian and Muslim – and these influences are reflected in the blend of flavours that make the food from this part of the world so divine.My passion for food comes from my mother, who is an incredible cook, and whose recipes and hours of consultation on the dishes via telephone to India have resulted in a menu that is truly divine.” Thava specializes in Indian cuisine and prides itself on its use of the freshest local ingredients, aromatic dishes and, in a first for South Africa, its unique Indian Tapas offering – pure indulgence; perfect for sharing, perfect for experiencing. Served in tasting portions as a starter, or as a main shared […]

Old Bridge – Restaurant & Bar – is a family business that has been operating since July 1, 2006. Previously a franchised Keg & Quail, Old Bridge Tavern was founded as an English-style pub and restaurant by Lucas Pretorius, a former town treasurer and town clerk of the Brakpan municipality. Already a very popular venue, he recognized it as potentially offering a good return on his investment, as long as there were strict internal controls, and the food and service was good. While people warned him that it wasn’t a good idea to have family working with him in the business, one month to the day, he brought his son Jan to join him from Gauteng, and they became 50:50 partners. They haven’t looked back. While Lucas is in charge administratively, Jan controls the operational side of the business, and designs, tests and implements the menus. A former fire chief from Benoni, Jan Pretorius was in the training squad of the Blue Bulls when his father persuaded him to join him in the business. Previously he had been a Junior Springbok rugby player and Springbok Olympic weight lifter. Because of his job in the fire department he was also a trained […]
