# Event Details - **Event Name**: Fantastic Fordsburg (Foodsburg) Food & History Tour - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 12 Apr, 2026 at 11:00 am (+02:00) - **Event Description**: 🍽️ What to Expect on Our Fordsburg (Foodsburg) Tour! 🕌🎨🛍️ Food & History Get ready for a flavour-packed walk through one of Joburg’s most vibrant neighbourhoods! We kick things off at Shalimar Delights, one of the biggest hubs for traditional Indian sweet meats (think delicious fudge-like treats!). From there, we wander through the colourful streets of Fordsburg, soaking up culture and history. ✨ First stop: Lilian Road Studios to admire an incredible mosaic by artist Hannelie Coetzee. 🍻 Then it’s off to Archie’s, a quirky dive bar known for cold beers and iconic polony sandwiches. Fordsburg is Jozi’s food capital, and along the way we unpack how food merchants helped shape life on the Witwatersrand. We stroll past the legendary Oriental Plaza – but do you know its connection to forced removals? You will after the tour! Next, we visit Hamidia Masjid, one of Joburg’s oldest mosques with a powerful link to Gandhi’s passive resistance movement. And then… the FEAST begins. 😋 Around the market square, cultures collide in the best possible way. On a single block you’ll find Turkish, Pakistani, Greek, Syrian, and South Indian food. Our food stops include: • 🥙 House of Schwarma • 🍯 House of Baklava • 🥥 Dosa Hut – brilliant South Indian dishes to enjoy or take home • 🔥 Turkish Grill – home of Joburg’s best (and cheapest!) Döner Kebabs 🍻 ARCHIES 🧆 Fordsburg square market 🥤 The juice den We’ll also explore the market for irresistible street food (samosas, rotis, pies, spring rolls) and the freshest fruit juices around. With happy bellies and shopping bags full of goodies, we head back to the cars.
