Nish Nush SA

If you’re looking for delicious Middle Eastern street food in Cape Town, Nish Nush SA is the place to visit. Located next to Hank’s Olde Irish on Bree Street, this hole-in-the-wall hatch serves up shawarmas, falafels, and hummus that will satisfy your cravings.

The Menu of Nish Nush SA

The menu may be simple, but every offering is packed with full-on flavors of the Middle East. Each sabich (sandwich) is a homemade pita filled with tahini, Yemeni zhoug, fresh chopped salad, and succulent beef strips (for the shawarma), all sliced and assembled while you wait. The falafels have already spawned a cult-like following, and these small crunchy balls of perfection come hot, golden, and can be enjoyed in a pita or on a plate with all the trimmings. Another special mention should go to the luxuriously creamy hummus. Order your falafels on a bed of this stuff, and thank us later. They even have 250g take-home tubs of hummus available for dipping, slathering, or just enjoying with a spoon.
