LINGELA RESTAURANT
BEST FOR A gourmand feast. FOOD Holding a well-earned reputation for being among the top buffets in Durban, this restaurant offers patrons the opportunity to interact with the chefs working behind the counters.

The dessert table sees a chocolate fountain, trifle and gateaux. DRINKS Award-winning and noteworthy wines feature on a comprehensive list with acceptable mark-ups. SERVICE While friendly, service needs some attention to detail. AMBIENCE The restaurant is welcoming, with its combination of dark wood and bright mirrors.
