Great pizza, beer and atmosphere. The interior is modest but cosy. Friendly staff and central location if staying in Durban North/Glen Ashley

I have been there a few times and have always walked away with a smile from the satisfaction of good service ad friendliness from the staff. The food has always been good which is the main reason why I go there. Always a pleasure!

I try to go here each time I am in Durban. The food is very good and so is the service. We always have an enjoyable meal when we go there.

In the suburb of Durban North. Decor pretty straightforward. The quality of food is great - especially the super-fresh Dorado which they often have as a special.

Best melanzane in the Durban area by far. Good value for money but the owner should put an appearance once in a while. Although I have eaten at this restaurant over 10 times and have no idea what the owner/manager looks like.
