I am very much impressed. Lovely atmosphere. Service was excellent. The food was devine. All in all it was worth the money. I will recommend Cafe Jiran to any visitor - like me. That's the place to go...
Cafe Jiran's service and food is superb, Definitely a place to consider for a great meal. Compliments to the chef and service staff.
I was there 2 days ago for the first time but I loved it everything was absolutely perfect � for me,the staff was very friendly and welcoming I'm definitely coming back.

First timers. We ended up going back in the evening for drinks. Lovely place. Food was great and very reasonably priced. Definitely going to be our new "Go To" place. Thank you. Looking forward to trying your lamb shank next.

A very nice small cafe , great service , great food and friendly staff, I love it!
I plan to frequent this eatery henceforth, I really recommend it!
This vibey little place has the perfect setting for drink meet ups and some snacks!
The decor is funky and fresh and it is easily accessible so long as you can find parking on the Parade.
The service is efficient not too naggy and not too slow, just right.
I'll definitely be back!
Bacon, eggs, tomato and toast. I guess when you're paying R35 for something, you can't expect much more than what you actually paying for lol. Lovely breakfast, plain and simple (as well as delicious freshly baked bran muffin and one of the best chai teas I've ever had!) Staff are very friendly & its quite affordable for a hotel restaurant.
Cafe Jiran seems to be the local social spot. Many people popping in for their morning coffee, water is provided for dogs. Great coffee, street vibe and good breakfasts.
The Parmesan crusted pork neck is the most delicious meal! We went back two nights in a row. It's incredibly tender without being fatty and just sublime. The decor, ambience and accompaniments are average (sauerkraut wasn't great) but I'd go again for this dish!!
Thanks Great coffee (doesn't disappoint) and accepting error in offering curry that was frozen. You offered us a cake. Many thanks. Still love it there @
Great spot for a lazy breakfast followed by a stroll along the beach. Just a pity there aren't any sea views.
The service was friendly and warm. Ordered the flower tea which was the prettiest tea I've had.
The breakfast was great and really well priced. Loved the chicken sausage.
Had a really great breakfast experience this morning! The English breakfast with additional bacon, sunny-side up eggs & a juicy chicken sausage accompanied with a cup of "well dragon" tea (I apologize for the incorrect name of it) was absolutely amazing! The food is well priced and very flavorful. If only Johannesburg had inexpensive cafés!
A definite must if you want value for money food and really good service from staff!
Most times I've only really stopped by here for a quick fix of their amazing dessert and cake selection, but tonight we sat in for dinner & boy was that a good time! From the starter through to the main course, all meals were perfectly made (especially the meat. I really wish I had a hole in my stomach so I can devour almost everything on the menu
Nice quaint spot near the beach. Good vibe. Tasty and healthy vegetarian selection of food. Fresh juices and great coffee. Ideal for mid-morning snack or treat after long run/cycle on the beach.
The coffee is fantastic. Great barista skills. The aftertaste is somewhay aniseedy. I love it. Great location too.
Love the lounge jazz music being played in the background.
Great meal, great service and amazing coffee!!!!! Cracker Cafe and will definitely be back. Highly recommend the crispy bacon breakfast special!
Lovely cafe in north beach. Very nice to sit outside of you can get a table, it's very popular. A wide selection of juices and smoothies is available. Grilled haloumi salad was great, and so was the lamb burger.
Love this spot. For tea and coffee lovers this is a must visit. It's such an under rated venue with great service. Their fresh fruit and veggie smoothies are also a must try after your beachfront walk/run/cycle.
I love the ambience and the coffee there chocolate cake is good. ..if you into real coffee you have to visit jiran ...its for coffee lovers. .they open till late
This is such an underrated and overlooked coffee spot on the beach strip. They are just a roads crossing away from the beach itself and nestled at the nape of a little hotel.
I have often enjoyed a decent cappuccino here. The carrot cake is unusual and disappointing, the chocolate cake dry and overly sweet. But I love this spot for the way the green tea is served in such a special way, ceremonious as a tea ritual should be. The coffee is good and my waffle was hit and miss.
Crispy outside and soft and fluffy on the inside Belgian waffle, unfortunately let down by watery icy ice cream. Also the smallest scoop of ice cream on earth!
I have had smoothies and milkshakes here before as well which were great. Definitely worth visiting this spot, it is a lovely chilled hangout. I'm really impressed and obsessed with the green tea selection and the way it is served (I'm big into herbal teas especially green and white tea)
Coffee is excellent here with a wide variety of choices that exceed most restaurants. The same is true for their vast tea options. The food is very fresh and full of flavour and well presented. There are a number of breakfast and lunch options which include wraps, salads, soups and pastas as well as tapas. There are quite a few vegetarian options too! Service is relaxed but if you need a waiter you can just ring from your table. Been here a few times and never had a bad experience.
Service was fantastic, food was outstanding. Hake was skinned prior to cooking . Must have the summer juice it was awesome. Peanut butter Ice. Cream was to die for. Brownie was awesome. It is a must do when down at the Durban beach front
Cafe Jiran is a perfect lazy sunday coffee and cake stops. Its beautifully situated on the beachfront with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff and beautiful decor enhance your experience.One could easily think they are in Europe. I have the special of the day which was coffee and cake which was amazing.The cakes on offer were chocolate, cheesecake and carrot cake.I opted for chocolate boy was I not prepared for this huge chunk of choccieness that arrived, moist, full of flavour and fab icing.Perfect sunday treat will I visit again yes even if its just for coffee and cake:-)
The food is great, out of this world, actually. Before I complained about the service, it was horrible. After I expressed how ridiculous it was, everything went smoothly.
I went to Durban for a holiday I would walk to this place for Dinner and chill, love the food the vibe and the staff is friendly, Itumeleng from the bar is very great at her job always smiling her service was exceptional, I even went there the next day because of her service really makes you feel welcome..
After an exploration of the Durban promenade this little Cafe/restaurant popped up and mind you Durban was sizzling hit yesterday. As we arrived, we were greeted by David and our drinks orders taken, we had really only come in to quench our thirst. David explained to us that they had revamped and gave us a quick run down or happy hour specials and the buffet special at their new breakfast spot right at the top of the Bellaire hotel called Sunset Lounge. Overall experience was great and now we have a new spot for drinks and breakfast.

I think it’s now called Sky Lounge, the staff here is so friendly and I’ve been there a few times because their buffet breakfast is amazing, I mostly enjoy the hot breakfast and the chefs special never disappoints- the last one I had was a liver and chutney by Chef Wonderboy. It was to die for. It’s also affordable so you won’t be disappointed here:)
Had a drink with friends, pleasant venue, attentive waitress, prices expensive but 2 for 1 happy hour is good value
Most beautiful experiences. Very friendly and helpful staff. Most beautifully presented food and drinks. Be it just a cappuccino , or a scrumptious romantic dinner, one will never be disappointed. Situated on the promenade. Comfortable seating inside or outdoors.
Jiran has the best coffee in the country. Hands down. Food menu is awesome, staff always friendly. Be sure to get extra friendly Veli to serve you.

Great coffee and a superb menu throughout the day....more especially their freshly squeezed fruit juices.
The best coffee restaurant in the North Beach area. Serves alcoholic beverages as well. Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff.
There must put the radio volume up as people upper there voices
Nice setting. Good menu options. Waiters were friendly and were quick to accommodate my wife and I.
Great place to come to after a morning run or cycle on the beachfront.
Would definitely visit the restaurant again. Wish they had more vegetarian options and bigger coffee mugs though, nevertheless still a good place to hang out!
Currently under renovations, and temporarily moved to the hotels secret bonsai garden which is stunning!
Cosy and amazing, the staff are top class
The cafe is placed in an incredible place near the shore of Indian Ocean. Though i have visited the place many times, i have not sat in the inside.The outdoor is fantastic! The view is so beautiful. The wind, the sound of the ocean gives you an amazing experience. The waiters are friendly and exceptional. Keep it up.
It's a place to visit in Durban across the beach front
