Lord Prawn Fish & Grill, a cherished gem nestled in the coastal haven of Umhlanga Rocks, South Africa, is a testament to the enduring passion for seafood and hospitality. Founded in 1975 by the visionary Chemaly brothers, John and George, this establishment has remained family-owned for over four decades, with Tony Chemaly, John's son, now at the helm.
What sets Lord Prawn apart is its unwavering commitment to sourcing the freshest seafood from local fishermen. The menu showcases an array of ocean treasures, including prawns, lobster, fish, and calamari, all expertly prepared to tantalize the palate. For those seeking alternatives, the restaurant offers a delightful selection of steaks, chicken, and pasta.
Dining at Lord Prawn is not just about the exquisite fare; it's an experience that envelops you in a warm, nautical-themed ambiance. The cosy interior and a charming outdoor patio overlooking the beachfront provide the perfect backdrop for your culinary journey.
During my recent visit to Lord Prawn, I embarked on a seafood adventure, starting with a sumptuous seafood platter that featured prawns, lobster, and Oysters. The flavors were impeccable, and the accompanying sauces were a delightful complement. For the main course, the grilled fish was a standout, perfectly cooked and served alongside fragrant rice and crisp vegetables.
Service at Lord Prawn is exceptional, with knowledgeable and attentive staff who ensure your every need is met. They navigate the menu with ease and are always ready to assist.
While the experience at Lord Prawn is truly remarkable, it's worth noting that the excellence comes with a price, and reservations, particularly on weekends, are highly recommended to secure your spot at this popular dining destination.
In summary, Lord Prawn Fish & Grill stands as an institution in Umhlanga Rocks, beloved by locals and tourists alike. It's a place where fresh seafood reigns supreme, service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is inviting. If you're seeking a memorable seafood dining experience, look no further than Lord Prawn.

Ate here today upon returning to Durban and the food and service couldnt be better.The staff was welcoming as we walked in,sat down and until we left and always checked up on the table.
●Oysters were really amazing
●garlic butter snails(from the juicy and delicious snails to the garlic butter it was in this dish was simply perfect and as someone that loved snails it's hard to come by a restaurant that makes it right)
●line fish/catch of the day(catch of the day was a Cape salmon,the fish itself was cooked and seasoned perfectly and the sides which where chips,butternut and creamed spinach was perfect as well)
●lamb curry(the rice itself was perfectly cooked and had a aroma to it,the curry itself from the moment it hit the table you could smell all the spices already,the meat would melt in your mouth and the the flavour from the curry itself was really great,a perfect curry)
●sambal side(could really taste the freshness in it and was seasoned perfectly as well)
●chutney side(went well with all dishes ordered and was a great item to add sweetness)
●tartar sauce side(creamy and Rich and went well with the dish it was meant for)
Overall a really great restaurant and atmosphere,a definite try If you are in the area.
I had the pleasure of dining at Lord Prawn restaurant while on seafood cravings. I've never been so happy, the food was dancing on my mouth. The drinks were satisfying, the food, to die for, and the sauces sealed the deal for me. If you're a seafood lover visiting the Durban, Umhlanga area, don't miss out coz you'll never have better. Thank you, S'fundo and the others, for the lovely service.

Nestled among the bustling restaurants is this coastal classic gem, Lord Prawn stands out as a true seafood delight, showcasing their expertise in preparing mouthwatering platters.
A superb dinner, good service and a nice vibe. No wonder they've been going for 48 years!
My only gripe is the fact that I did not see a note on the menu regarding a gratuity charge. Neither did I notice it on the bill ( rather small print) and landed up giving a massive tip in error. While this is my fault, I'm a pensioner and this became a very expensive dinner for me. I was treating a friend.
