Lingela Restaurant

Food was delicious! The variety was commendable! And the service received from the staff was spectacular! Will definitely visit again

One of the buffet I have been to, the range of food is amazing, the taste was perfect and the atmosphere just makes you feel like you still at home, for the price you pay, you get way more than you'd expect

Loved the food!
Service by Philani was absolutely brilliant, Dude is a rock star!

Thank you.

Absolutely love the food. The prawn skewers are our absolute favorite. Soooooooo much to choose from

Celebrated my 15 wedding anniversary there. The food and service was great. Cool drinks were served fresh and cold. Prawns was delicious so was the roast beef. Great deserts especially the milk and pecan tarts. Chicken Tikka was very good with the naan bread. We spent more than 2.5 hrs. Bill was reasonable for 4 considering the variety.

Hands down the best buffet in Durban. Price currently 395pp. - totally worth the quality of food as well as the variety. Starting off at the curry stations, you can find anything from chicken curry, mutton curry, veg breyani, pickles to crispy popudums, warm toasty naan bread with tandoori chicken. The type of curry does change to mix things up every now and then. They move on to a variety of roasts, chicken, beef and lamb, accompanied by a variety of gravies and roast potatoes and other veggies. Live stations include a stir fry stations, braai station and seafood station. Receive skewers of prawns smothered in peri peri or garlic sauce. Soft and flavourful. Calamari steaks and fish fillets also available. Soft drinks are included in the price and are even served by the jug-full
(coke, fanta sprite). Salads are plentiful with a variety to choose from, including pasta salads and prawn cocktail. The dessert table is absolutely remarkable. A work of art with multiple cakes, mini cakes, and tarts, cheese cake ice cream with toppings, malva pudding and so so much more. The atmosphere is kid friendly and family friendly. A great spot for special occasions. Everything is fresh and flavourful. An absolute delight

Having changed our booking 3 times from different restaurants, we were glad we did. Everything was on point. The food, the service, the ambiance. To top it off, they have something for everyone's pallet.

I went here for my birthday and I must say the buffet is the best I have had in Durban. Normally in most buffets, with the dessert section and the food section, I find myself only liking a few selected dishes, but with the Lingela buffet, I enjoyed everything. Great food, great service and a great experience. Will highly recommend.

Buffet very rich and tasty.
Cost: 395 Rand - approx. 20€ including soft drinks (Cola, Fanta, Sprite, …)

The food was good the waiter was awesome, he was soo tentative we were a party of 27, there needs to be something done about the lack of fun and spirit. Ooh and the lighting sucks

Delicious food, I wish I had a stomach for starters, a stomach for mains and another for dessert. Everything I had was very tasty, unfortunately could not get to everything. Buffet food. Soft drinks tea and coffee included. Anything bottled is not included you must pay extra.

An Awesome Experience at Lingela Restaurant, Fantastic Atmosphere, Friendly Staff, Special Mention to Chef Aadhil who went out of his way to prepare a meal not on the menu, A Very Special Thank Aadhil, Much Appreciated

An absolute pleasure to dine in. Great variety of dishes. The food never disappoints. The service however is not how it used to be.

This restaurant is situated at a hotel, it gets really growded, we initially booked a table with the intention of having a birthday dinner celebration, however we were highly disappointed when the host approached our table and rudely commanded us to remove the birthday balloon one of my guest brought along, the buffet was also overpriced, we expected a much better menu and exceptional service delivery for the amount we paid

A lovely experience and tasty food. Clean and covid guidelines were followed. If you're not in your seat you wear your mask.

Had Dinner 22 January 2022, food was great. Variety of dishes caters for most. Buffet now includes soft drinks.

Best buffet in Durban, hands down. It is a bit pricey, but definitely worth it as there's a massive fresh spread, and service is good.

Great buffet! Absolutely love this place. Compliments to Nonthando, she was an amazing waitress, friendly and accomodating. I will definitely go back.

Well done. Perfect food. Desserts were lovely. Compliments to the seafood chef Adhir. What a kind. Patient person.
Glad I came here️

What a great experience we had last night. The curry, the roasts and the seafood everything was well worth it.
