“ Such a nice clean place and what a lovely buffet option. Ur steak was sliced and cooked/grilled to perfection. Most of all I liked the variety of options in ur brunch buffet. ”
“ A charming angling themed halaal restaurant. Definitely the best fish & chips i’ve had in Durban. Whats even better is that they have a car wash, so you can get your car washed while dining. They also offer shisha at R200, quality pipes not the shitty ones you find at most restaurants. ”
“ Such a cute cafe- car wash to be productive with your time! Nice view of the cruise terminal. I had the matilda cake- omg! and the veg tramezzini. Super tasty and fresh for R75 with chips- a good price and a filling meal. I would like for them to consider switching away from polystyrene packaging to something compostable paper based instead. ”
“ Food was great every time I ate here. Has diner vibes. Big food portions and I must reiterate... really delicious. Staff were super friendly and helpful. ”
“ I think I just found the best fish and chips in Durban. Absolutely mouth watering!! Amazing menu, something for everyone. Awesome, friendly service from the staff, and you can get your car washed while you eat. A must visit. Highly recommended!! ”
“ Love, Love , Love the food! The fish was so tasty and crispy! It was melt in your mouth goodness! They were not busy when we went so the atmosphere was great. They also offer car washing services while you’re dining. ”
“ I work across the road so Dockside is always on my mind when it comes to lunch time. I absolutely love their food!!!! It’s cooked fresh every time and everything that I have tasted so far is just absolutely delicious. The very first time I ordered a spicy steak stir fry and I think I’ve eaten their stir fry’s quite a few times because they are so good. They also have a car wash at the back and that makes things super convenient for me. You can hire their venue out and on Sundays they serve a buffet breakfast ! The owners and staff are just so friendly and very good at recommending something for your taste buds. Tonight cooking dinner was not an option so I ordered before leaving work. Went across to pick up my clean car and my freshly packed pasta for tonight!!!! So easy, so delicious Xx ”
“ The food is yummy. I love the fresh seafood, especially the catch of the day. The food does take a while because it is freshly prepared. There is also a car wash on site . Friendly waiters. ”
