We’ve all been there. It’s dinner time, you’re hungry, the fridge is giving ‘maybe tomorrow’ vibes, and your brain has checked out of the decision-making process.
So what do you eat when you’ve got options – but no clear craving? You could scroll endlessly through food delivery apps… or you could take the easier, tastier route and let Rael Lurie – owner of Westville Superspar – and his team tempt you with their top deli favourites, plus a recipe or two that might actually convince you to stick around in your kitchen.
The comfort king: Lamb curry with all the trimmings
When the weather is chilly and the hunger is real, nothing hits the spot quite like a hearty lamb curry. Rael swears by their on-the-bone lamb curry, which is mild enough for most palates but packed with deep, warming flavour. Served with rice, soft rotis or tucked into their signature round bunny bread, it’s a dish that wraps you up in a hug of spice and satisfaction.
Don’t forget to grab a portion of sambals – the crunchy, zesty extras that elevate every bite.
Tip: Grab a takeaway portion, heat it up at home, and add a dollop of plain yoghurt and fresh coriander to make it feel home-cooked.
Wholesome and customisable: The wrap station
If you’re looking for something lighter, The Wrap Station is a go-to for many shoppers. Located at the ‘Island of Fresh’ in the food stall, you can build your own wrap with a choice of chicken, beef or vegetarian fillings. It’s a brilliant option when you want something quick, balanced, and filling without the fuss.
