Nice setting. Food was good but the service was disappointing. We were a big group and if we had a waiter looking after us, I think he could have doubled there...

"Lovely atmosphere, attention to detail and very good service. The crowd is mixed with all ages and types of ethnicity. Drinks are food are are the expensive side but you’re paying for good quality. The live Jazz was incredible. Perfect for a date."

"Great family business. Guided by 2 sisters, one is the chef and the other manages the restaurant. Very professional and personalized. 4 of us, 2 split the 1 kg shrimp, 1 king clip grilled and the other Brinjal stack. Meals were prepared for perfection. The Peri Peri Prawns and Chips the best in town, the chips were a class of him to die for. The service was great, Zane served us twice, exceptionally professional, polite and friendly. On a few occasions Amy served us and she offered the same great, extraordinary service. Here you go. If she is always recommended for family and friends, you will never go wrong. Everyone should have this prawn experience at least once in his life. A bit expensive, but worth the experience. Will always go there for special occasions."

"Can only give a full house to JOOPS. You get what you ask for, but there are a few cherries included. Joops’s prices haven’t caught up with the rest of the country for some reason, so outstanding value. You’ll immediately notice plenty of love about, patrons that have been frequenting Joops for years. My first time and I was welcomed like a family member. Lastly, if you have the privilege of meeting Johan the owner and his charming wife Margit pronounced Maaarggggrit you’re in luck, you’re going to have a belly laugh. Lovely evening, definitely recommend."

"Perfect ambience, friendly and professional staff, delicious food and quite clean and fresh bathrooms. We had crumbed chicken with mushroom sauce and zucchini fries, the portion is quite generous that we ended up taking it away. Quite rich food at a very affordable price. The waiter was quite friendly. There’s an option to seat inside or outside. Family friendly restaurant. I highly recommend them."

"For the first time visiting and this is by far the best food I have ever experienced in the larger Durban area, a great service all around and great facilities for children. If you are looking for high quality food and a great place for the family, I would highly recommend."
