Went for the famous prawn curry but it was so bad. No flavour, canned tomatoes that were not cooked through. The mixed veg was even worse. Very disappointed as compared to what this place used to be. Will never go back.

Food was average. For the price charged the prawns bunny and mutton /lamb bunny was disappointing. Drinks average price. Experience average. Rather try TSD or Britania Hotel. Better quality food and experience for the price.

I was very disappointed with the prawn curry, which is said to be"Seabelles famous word renowned prawn curry. Exquisitely divine" as per their menu. It was a plate of boiled prawns in a can of tomato puree with no flavour at all. Their standards have deteriorated over the years.

Seabelle? More like “last resort”… we were looking for a near by restaurant to eat at and came across Sea belle, the food was not up to standard or appetising. They had a very small selection of dishes and even those were not tasteful, lacking salt and flavour. When we ordered the deep fried calamari with lemon butter sauce which was more like crumbed calamari rings doused in margarine. Let’s not get started on the pricing, summed up in one word “overpriced”.

Why do we have to wait over 45 minutes to get a prawn curry. Amish where u can get within 15 minutes. Its all about u buying alcohol whilst u wait deliberately. A sham. Beware

I love seabelles. This was the first time the food was tasteless. The mutton and beans was tasteless not like how they normally make it. The prawns i would say was ok. It was a real disappointment and also itvwas valentines day. The service was bad also. We asked ourvwaiter for the billba few. Times. He always said he was getting it. We had tovget up and pay the bill in front. Normally aftee we eat they come to clean to clean the tables and no one came. We were therecfor quiet a while. And when we went it was not busy. The prices also went up for yesterday which was notva problem. Given that the food should have been up to standard. Very disappointing we always loved seabells but dont know what happened yesterday. Also the pickle was never nice. Maybe u get another supplier or u could order from me

This spot used to be a favourite not too long ago but it has deteriorated dismally. Prices have shot up and the food has become really mediocre. There were two waiters for Sunday lunch and perhaps it because they were the only two there was really no effort made for customer satisfaction. Zilch! Anyone who is a curry lover knows that for many of us tea is a chaser. Yet seabelle refuses to concede to this simple request. They have cake but no hot drinks. Is Seabelle relying on its seaview for custom? It doesn't take much to serve beautiful meals in a beautiful way. I don't think I will make the excursion out to seabelle again in the near future and that's a pity.

Had fish and crab curry.its OK Not bad at all. Not for you if you looking for explosion of taste in your mouth.there is nothing too special about it. It's just the sea food with too much sour tomato chutney in the name of curry.

Waiters were very helpful. I had the fish and chips l was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious. Unfortunately the decor was old fashioned and outdated.

Wonderful seafood curries. The mutton and beans was not to my liking as the meat wasn't too tender. Otherwise great experience. Celebrated my birthday here with my family. Waiter was attentive and hospitable. Unfortunately we had loadshedding while we were there, but they were prepared.

Everyone I know has been to seabell restaurant, famous for their hot spicy prawn curry, ample parking, tables with s seaview, also have outdoor seating, no booking in advance just pop in they have ample space, very wide range menu offered, must try is their mutton bunny

The most important aspect of any restaurant/takeaway or food stall is consistency. If you had a meal 3 years ago and your taste buds crave another, Seabelle won't disappoint you. Via there for Lekka Chow Now

I had the prawn curry, it was really very good! The actual restaurant itself is a bit dingy, seems like it doubles up as a "jol plek" in the evenings?

Old school style and historical sea side restaurant specializing in SA Indian food.
The curries are freshly cooked, generous portions and definitely worth waiting for.
Good service, chatty friendly staff willing to talk you through the menu. Be careful with the 'hot chilli sauce'.
Never been disappointed over the last 25yrs.

Excellent place if you looking for a real Durban Indian curry. Lovely location at the sea, building a bit dated but you go there for the amazing curry anyway.

Food is absolutely delicious and the staff is friendly and welcoming, great service too. Remember, good food is worth waiting for. The curry is delicious.

Had Sunday lunch at this restaurant. Mutton bunny was good and prawn chutney was excellent! Dining here is like enjoying a hearty meal made by granny at home. Place was clean. Great service by our waiter Ricardo

Please do not underestimate the service or the food at this establishment. The service is personal, the food is exceptional. Value for money. You will feel right in your aunty's house. Definately a hidden gem!
