So here is a treasure of a restaurant tucked away off Westbrook beach which happily is frequented not only by visitors but by droves of locals - which says a lot. Over many years the quality and standards have never faltered. This is not an establishment for a quick meal. You want to sit here, on the veranda if possible, and gaze at the beautiful ocean view while feasting - or, if in the evening listening to the sound of the ocean. You think smoked salmon pancakes as a starter a bit ordinary? Think again with this fusion take with freshly made pancakes made for your order. This is a starter that you just want to go on and on. The curries come in three โstrengthsโ but the emphasis remains on flavours and tastes rather than on raw โheatโ. Cannot wait for the next visit to this gem run by the most wonderful husband and wife team with Mrs as master chef and Mr looking after front of house. Those personal touches shine through everything.
Another hidden gem in Westbrook. 10 ๐ โs for their ocean view, Just breath taking.
Their menu is something else not your average restaurant menu very unique. Food was amazing from their presentation to taste. Very welcoming and lovely atmosphere, however food took forever to arrive but was well worth the wait at the end.
Came here for lunch with friends on a rainy day, this place has a seaview..
Lovely owner, friendly and helpful. It was a very pleasant afternoon.
We shared a anti pasti platter for starter. Great for sharing.
Mains were served piping hot, i had the fish and chips and it was really amazing, i really enjoyed it.
Their burgers are a big hit with the locals i hear.
And i couldnt help but notice the huge grilled prawns the table next to us ordered. Yum.
Dessert, highly recommend the nougat cheesecake, it was divine, and the chocomint ice cream.
Overall, it was a very good experience, service is great, food is great, the people were great.
I will definitely come back again.
Wow, what a great place with a great view and fantastic service. The duck was about the best I have ever had. Hubby had the lamb curry (hot) and said it was very good and not too hot. Great place to eat!!!!!
Relaxed atmosphere with interesting decor. Very friendly staff always eager to help. Slightly pricy but for the portions and quality it is well worth it. I was also very pleased to find out that they have a specialized vegetarian menu.
Amazing food, great lamb curry and duck dish. Also incredible and attentive service. Thanks so much Andile and Mzo, will definitely be back soon!
Had the best curry was fantastic, my hubby had the Salmon Crepes define great deck nice waiters , awesome
Owner we will be back very soon !!!
Had lunch here a few weeks ago with my family. A lovely restaurant overlooking the beach, with amazing interior decor. I chose the Balti spiced prawn stuffed chicken breast, served with rice, a delicious coriander type of sauce and battered julienne carrots as garnish. This dish was a winner for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Was quite impressed with the presentation. My mum and aunt both chose the parmesan chicken fillet, which was good as well. A bit on the pricey side but food is delicious and portion sizes good. Would like to go back to try some of the other dishes.
Best lamb curry i have ever had, friendly and great service. Andile was brilliant! We loved every moment. I cant wait to go back. We recommend making a booking. This lovely little resturant will surprise you.
Wonderful setting and very good food - had Dorado as catch of the day with tempura prawns as starter - finished with peanut and caramel ice cream - my family also had a hamburger and seafood salad as mains - will definitely go again - prices slightly expensive but good quality food.
Been here every time we in Durban and the service, view and most importantly the food is excellent
The stuffed prawn and chicken and the duck is a must
Pls do not forget the most heavenly cheesecake
Keep it guys
We were there for dinner on Wednesday, what a lovely evening it was. The restaurant has so many different places to choose from to sit. Outside on the deck by candlelight, watching the waves crashing across the road , inside in the more formal dining room, & on the smaller balcony. The weather was perfect, & we both had the Lamb curry. It was outstanding!! The flavours were intoxicating & the hot option we ordered was exactly right. They make their own veg pickle, & ive never tasted better. The ambience is awesome, the staff attentive without being a nuisance, & the owner is an absolute pleasure. An experience I look forward to having soon. Next time it will be the duck!!!

We had Sunday lunch here and enjoyed the warm atmosphere and lovely view of the ocean. The menu offers delicious dishes at reasonable prices. Thankfully there is only one burger on the menu. Dishes including duck and various seafood and curry dishes seem way more appealing in the beautifully decorated space than burgers!
We had the seafood bake, seafood pasta and watermelon & haloumi salad. All the dishes were packed with flavour and were generously portioned. I was particularly pleased with the haloumi texture, which was soft, not rubbery. Cheesecake and apple crumble served with whipped cream were YUM. Nice wine list. Servers are well trained and service was good overall, despite the electricity being off at the time. Reserve a table because it fills up fast.
The lamb curry was absolutely exquisite. Flavourful, nice and hot just the way I like it! The pickled vegetable accompaniment also delicious. Service very good. Will definitely be back soon.
Professional, friendly, efficient staff. Best view ever and the food was brilliant. Will be back again for that cheesecake! And loved the cheeky cat. ๐
Needed to give Spice a mention. Often enough restaurants believe a beach view will suffice and just because they have managed to secure a great location, the food is permitted to be less than good. We popped into Spice this afternoon where our staffie was very welcome, the service was excellent, the burgers were juicy, the chips were crisp and the gin and tonics were strong!!! Most importantly the Amarula Mousse was - insert expletive here - marvelous. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
Heath Mirtle (my husband) and I went for an evening dinner. We started with an antipasto and he had the duck and I had the prawn curry for our main meals. The food took extremely long to arrive with not much communication from the Manager, but the waitress was friendly and the servers were well mannered and polite. The food was good and a delightful ambience but not a place I would rush back to in a hurry. It just lacked that special something .....
Seriously great location looking out over the Indian ocean with a cool breeze. Food was great, fusion style with different dishes that all could be worth the order.
The food was flavour full, tasted as if it was made with love. I had the curry which is a must try and my husband had a steak which was also delicious. Service has some room for improvement.
This is not a curry spot, it's an awesome fusion restaurant that serves some great curries. Absolutely loved it, great owner management, delicious unique food, a relief from the status quo..
Always have the most amazing dining at Spice. Linda's duck is the best I've ever had; Russel, her husband, is an amazing front-of-house. Goes crazy in December but they manage to pull it off. Beautiful setting, incredible food and happy days. Cheers!
I ordered the fig & orange Duck with the caramelized onion mash... Oh my Word was it good. Very Rich so the Kenforrester Pitet Chinen was the ideal pairing. PJ ordered the lamb curry (which he has had here many a time) and said it is always ๐. Finished up with a coffee infused cremebrulee, filter coffee and 1920. Was a stunning lunch for a somewhat miserable overcast day. Set overlooking the ocean I will definitely be back on a sunny day.
The food here blew us away- everything from their lamb chops to their chicken! It was all delicious. However, we came here on a very busy day so the service was extremely slow. This was the only let down.
From our warm welcome, to the last round of drinks, we spent a lovely afternoon at Spice. The food was fresh, with subtle flavours of India. Will definitely be back!
Good food and great ambience.Small menu,even though it states as Indian Restaurant.Service was great.Nice place to unwind watching the waves
Today was my second visit to Spice in Tongaat. I know Spice from Florida Road and was never disappointed there. Here too, in Tongaat, I have had great culinary experiences. On both my visits, the food was delicious, the staff were on their toes and the owner made sure that everyone was happy. My favourite on the menu so far is the pea and potato cake. It is served with pakora style carrot sticks and dhal. Delicious. Definitely a place to go back to. Especially for Sunday Lunch. Beautiful ocean in front of you, a glass of dry white and delicious food.

Food good, service very slow owners unfriendly. We ate there during the festive season and it was packed. The owners never went around checking if everything was alright. Waited for over 30 min for a cup of coffee.
The pictures don't do justice to the amazing flavour of the food. I really enjoyed what I ordered: prawn curry, balti chicken and affogatto dessert. I'd highly recommend this restaurant and waitress who was absolutely friendly - Thobeka
I cannot say enough good things about this place. Food; great, service; well done, atmosphere, super cute boho chic.
My dad and I were staying at a bed a breakfast nearby and hopped here for a late lunch. They were only open for a rugby game, but allowed us in to eat. The food was quite good. It was great to look out at the beach from the window. They also have a lovely outdoor patio, but it was too cold to venture out.
The owner. WOW! We were unable to connect to Bolt to call a driver to take us back to our hotel, and he took us there himself. Totally going above and beyond to help us. What a wonderful guy, Rusell, thank you so much! We've made it home safely, thanks in part to you.
Highly recommend dining here.
Absolutely Delicious ๐คค Breakfast ๐ณ

Spice is amazing! Such a hidden gem. The food was absolutely delicious and everyone was so friendly. So much care went into preparing our food and there is an amazing view as well!
Will definitely be returning.
Absolutely awesome views, inside, outside seating. Great vibe and a walk across the road the be on the beach literally. Great menu with lunch specials as well. I went for the lamb curry and this was so tasty, hot, full of flavor and well presented. Was absolutely great even the dessert - amarula chocolate mousse to die for. Sunday lunch well spent with friends.
Beautiful venue, view and food to match. Nothing to fault
Great place. Amazing views and food for lunch in the sunshine. Night time dinner on the patio just as good. Will definitely go back again
Rainy day when we went, not that it was off putting. The view from our table overlooking the ocean and seeing the whales was epic. Not to forget why we went.... the scrumptious meal and pud after. Delish indeed. A little gem tucked away north of Durban. A scenic drive to whet your appetite. A def must go again and again......
Great food, beautiful atmosphere plus the added benefit of a 180 degree sea view. What more can you ask for?
NEW POST 29/9/22 Had a reunion at Spice, this past weekend. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. Definitely a place for me on my next visit
This is the best place Iโve eaten at since I got to Durban. We ordered the peri peri chicken livers (creamy rich and spicy), mango and duck salad (perfect balance of texture and sweet/savory) and the lemon sesame chicken (so many flavors!). The kids got the spaghetti and fish and chips. Iโve never seen them clean their plate like they did here. Mint chocolate chip ice cream was fresh and very minty. The apple crisp and macadamia nougat cheesecake hit the spot. Our server Siya was delightful. Overall a delicious experience with excellent service.
My family and I had the pleasure of dining at Spice on 13/07/2023. It has been a long time since we had such an awesome dinner. Every meal tantalized our tastebuds. The service was impeccable. Hats of to Russell and his team
Very nice location. Food was decent but not excellent and took awhile to come.
Wow. I was very impressed with this restaurant. The staff was very welcoming and polite. They were attentive and gave us great recommendations. We ordered lamb curry; it was delicious. The hospitalality and professionalism were outstanding.
Lovely view and atmosphere, staff are friendly and helpful. The food here has been amazing every time we've been. ๐
The food was outstanding. I had the lamb curry. Also tasted the stuffed prawn chicken breast. Amazing creamy curry sauce. And then there were the featherlight choc mousse and delicious cheese cake. Well worth it.
Would I even know where to start? Small very homely restaurant just along the beach in Westbrook.The Chef..5/5 absolutely amazing dishes from started to desserts. The service ๐๐. You can actually take a walk to the beach after your meal..๐.Bravoo to everyone one there..def coming back for more
Tasty food (chicken-prawn with a creamy curry sauce, rice and carrot "chips" ๐), excellent service and the location by the water was absolutely beautiful
It was a sensational dining experience!
The staff were all friendly and welcoming, we didn't wait long and the food was phenomenal!
Very friendly staff and well run. Very good food.
