What to look for in a restaurants in Rustenburg

In Rustenburg, the restaurant market reflects the mining economy's boom-bust character — establishments in the Waterfall Mall and the Fatima Bhayat Street commercial corridor tend to have the most consistent quality and reliability. The city draws workers from across southern Africa, which has created a more diverse informal food scene than its size would suggest. Platinum mining shifts mean there is genuine 24-hour food demand that restaurants and takeaways here are better positioned to serve than in sleepier towns.
