Don't take our word for it, here's what our customers say:
"Good service, best fries, good food, cost effective" S Naicker
"Fradu 3 Meats was a great way to try different kinds of BBQ meats and flavours. It did not disappoint! The pork had a delicious char, the chicken was perfectly done and accompanied by a savoury lemon sauce, and boerewors is a must try! Very authenticly made, seasoned, and grilled! Just wish there was more. Like everything else, the beef ribs are perfectly cooked with an irresistible sticky BBQ sauce. This was easily some of the best food I have ever had!" Anna Chan
"Oh my laaaaaawd, please make sure you have an empty stomach when ordering from here! The food was amazing, and it felt like I was at my friends Mom's house or something hahaha.
It is on the pricey side, but well worth it, plus I love seeing a family owned and operated business, reminds me of my childhood. If I'm going to be spending money, I rather support a local business where the entire family is helping out.
My wife and I tried the 3 meat dish, and the peri fries, and it was delicious and made to order. We barley got through it, but brought it home for dinner. Make sure to see the big boss, the owners son who's just a great kid as well. I'm working on getting him a raise from Dad lol, but in all seriousness, great fresh food, amazing value and service to match. Will be back for sure!"

"Super tasty food with interesting flavors! The chakala sausage in a roll was definitely a star! This spot is hidden within the Avenida food market and it's definitely one of the gems that I think people need to check out!" Betty
"The farmers sausage had the most incredible flavor. We grew up on a farm and it reminded us of those times when sausage was homemade. We will definitely be back for more. If we could give more than 5 stars we would!" Dana Meyers
"Wow. First time going here, great service and very nice people. Best beef ribs i’ve ever had, fries and coleslaw also amazing. Will be back and recommend to everyone!! #gangstalicoussznbebe"

"Thank you, Frank, and staff for an awesome South African meal. We will most certainly be back!" Kim Wilson
"Food and service was amazing! I ordered here for the first time for takeout meals for my 40th birthday. I was craving a taste from home and wanted to share it with my Canadian friends and family. Frank was very quick to respond and give recommendations for my party. His responses were prompt and it was a real pleasure communicating with him. I ordered a couple of mega Shias-Nyama platters, and some other side dishes like fries and beef ribs. Everything was delicious! Everyone loved the chakalaka, boerewors and the beef ribs were so tender. There was a great selection on the platters, with rice and gravy and chicken and coleslaw as well amongst other things. Frank even went the extra mile and organized delivery for me as we are just outside of Calgary in Airdrie, I appreciated that so much. Frank and team thank you so much for the delicious food, and making my birthday extra special! I can't wait to come in for a dine in experience with my family in the future."

"It was so good to have stywe pap and boerewors and served in a miniature potjie. Really enjoyed this experience. Thank you" Carolyn Copeland
"Fradu Cafe is a home away from home. The food is absolutely scrumptious and the owner, Frank, really goes over and beyond to give his customers an unforgettable meal! We definitely will be back!" Shaun U
"I experienced the delicious taste of South African with my family once again. I'll be coming back over and over again. The prices are very affordable as well." Dolu Mustapha
