Destination Story
About Cosy Corner
Cosy Corner on the corner of Ottery Road and Broad Road in Wynberg has been feeding generations of Capetonians since 1973. It was one of the very first Halaal fast-food restaurants established in the Southern Suburbs and remains one of the most respected names in Cape Town gastronomy.
Unlike standard takeaway hatches, Cosy Corner offers both a bustling takeaway counter and comfortable indoor booth seating. Their claim to fame is their marinated, flame-chargrilled rump steak — extraordinarily tender and spiced to perfection.
