Best Restaurants in Durban

Durban, the coastal gem of KwaZulu-Natal, is a food lover's paradise, and Masterchef South Africa is your guide to its vibrant dining scene. Famous for its spicy bunny chow—a hollowed-out loaf filled with curry—Durban blends Indian, Zulu, and coastal flavors. Savor fiery mutton curry in the city center, fresh seafood along the Umhlanga coast, or traditional Zulu dishes like umngqusho (samp and beans) in township eateries. For an authentic experience, visit Umlazi for shisa nyama, where sizzling boerewors, fatty chops, and pap with chakalaka are served with cold beers and live music. Our directory will soon feature top spots like Max's Lifestyle in Umlazi and hidden gems in Glenwood, offering a taste of Durban's diverse culinary heritage.
