Surprised by the size of the meal (which is quite popular in the city), Usbari enjoyed the flavours and gave it a 10 out of 10.

"I was told this is the best gatsby in Cape Town. It might be. South Africa, you beat America at something again because we don't even have this, so we can't even compete."

While some members of the online community agreed that Aneesa's had one of the best dishes in the Mother City, other app users suggested different local fast-food restaurants that Usbari should visit when wanting a greasy yet delicious meal.

@cjandrews6018 shared their opinion, writing:

"As a Capetonian, Aneesa's is lekker, but Steelies in Canal Walk, brah. You need to try it and let me know what you think. For me, it's fire."

@dd_cpt suggested to the American:

"You should try Super Fisheries in Athlone. Try their hake and calamari gatsby with atchar and seafood sauce."

@wajo.27 gave a bunch of suggestions:

"Try Cosy Corner's chargrilled steak gatsby, Super Fisheries' calamari gatsby, and Golden Plate's chicken gatsby with perinaise."

@kazamcpt noted in the post's comments:

"Aneesa's is valid, but there are too many good gatsbys to agree which one is the best!"

@user175258620516 told the online community:

"He came here from America only to realise that American food (I'm not talking about other countries' cuisine, just American) has nothing on South African food. The flavour is insane."

@m3lly918 made Usbari laugh when they stated:

"You eat a lot and don't even gain weight."
