"This has been by far the most delicious akhni I've had in a long time. Was in Mitchells Plain and time caught up with us and I was not going to make it back in time to make Sunday lunch. My husband called his friend and asker where do they sell Leka akhni and he explained where to go. We bought 2 x hilux and it was up in no time. Told my husband we need 2 x hilux bakkie, not a 1400 champ bakkie lol. The name of the size food is mind blowing and a real catch. Extremely affordable and worth it. Better yet, they deliver as well."

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank The Akni Guy’s management and staff for assisting in preparing and delivering a pot of akni at very short notice. The level of professionalism is rather commendable. The food prepared was of good quality and flavour full and has exceeded my expectations, and it was probably the best Akni I had eaten in years. I would make use of The Akni Guys services soon for any of my events or charitable contributions."

"Thank you so much for your service and assisting with my order on the last minute. I ordered a 100 litre pot of meat Akni for my dad’s funeral and the food was delicious. It was tasty with so much meat in the pot, the pot was filled with food to the top. Everybody wanted to know who made the Akni because it tasted devine. Food was delivered on time and our ladies who dished up were guided on how to dish. Thank you so much will definitely recommend you to others."
