The best bunny chow in South Africa, trust me. Location is inaccurate, it is in the Workshop shopping centre nearby.
Please note that this area can be a bit overwhelming for tourists as it's extremely busy.
The recommended way to visit is to enter via the underground parking. Try not to enter using the above ground entrance on Dr AB Xuma Street where the market is.
