"A unique bit of antiquity to indulge in while dining casually on the front verandah or inside this repurposed house. A comprehensive breakfast, lunch and dinner menu with regular specials. Pleasant staff and good food at reasonable prices. My burger and fries was delicious and the Afro Chicken is tasty with honey and mustard."

"My sister recommended this place when I was in Durban last month and I needed a place to kill time at and this place was perfect. Its a very chilled place with friendly staff who take of you, had a very warm welcome and I enjoyed myself because I wanted to chill. The breakfast I ordered was so delicious. There is this hot sauce they serve food with, what a delight it's was unfortunate that it was not for sale but what a delicious. I forgot the name of my waiter for the day because he didn't have a name tag but he was wonderful. Everything I requested was attended to with so much care also his recommendations were top notch. I was travelling from Bloemfontein and my experience at this place changed a little bit of my perception on visiting Durban. I'm definitely will be visiting again for the hot sauce and to explore your other menu offering. Thank you for everything."
