We went to Curry Quest for lunch today, was delicious -

The irony is that it is in Durban road, but Durban is also the city in
South Africa with the greatest Indian population globally, outside of
India.
It is walking distance from UCT, but I would recommend sharing an
uber/taxi, especially at night, I'm sure you could rustle up a bunch.

Then, we remembered an authentic Mexican place in the centre of town:
http://sanjulian.co.za/ that is highly recommended (also amazing
tequila)
This is not walking distance, I would recommend a taxi or shared
transport, at least.
There is a less authentic Mexican/Tex-Mex place in Observatory with
HUGE portions (DLange couldn't finish his, even) that we went to last
night , which is also, sortof walking distance, but again would
recommend taking shared transport. Also, no valuables in this
neighboorhood! Grab thefts are common.
