Thava Indian & Continental Ballito — Restaurant in KwaDukuza Local Municipality

Beautiful view of the ocean, poolside seating available which is lovely. The restaurants set up is amazing. Extremely neat and clean. All the waiters are very friendly and helpful. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and seated immediately. Collin Perumal was our waiter, he was so efficient with a vast knowledge of the menu, restaurant and surrounding area. He made some wonderful recommendations. We even bought 1kg of the complimentary snack, it's so scrumptious. The food was absolutely flavorful, each grain of the vegetable breyani was coated with the aromatic spices. The Tandoor paneer was a meal on it's own, so delicately spiced and delicious. The meat was falling off the bone hence their durban style mutton curry on the bone is a must try and it is served with basmati rice. You could alternatively order their Naan or rotis. Please do not leave without trying the fried ice cream, it is out of this world...a simple dessert which teases your tastebuds. It's an incredible experience for the tastebuds though...the first bite - you can clearly taste a creamy vanilla ice cream wrapped in a thin crisp dough, the second bite - you can taste fresh cream donut and the third bite - you can taste jalebi...what a thrilling way to end a fantastic meal. Thank you to the team at Thava Ballito, we enjoyed our 25th Wedding Anniversary lunch...

Food was great, we ordered lamb/mutton curry. We wanted extra hot but it tasted like it was mild but it had great flavour (served with basmati). Sinethemba was our waitress and she was very kind and welcoming, absolutely amazing. The staff from bartender all the way to front desk they were absolutely great hosts. Plenty of parking space but if you have a low car I would suggest you park outside the premises as the entrance is abit steep. Great atmosphere, great view and refreshing smell of the ocean. I would definitely recommend this place. If u love your food abit spicy I would suggest you ask them to provide you with extra chilli on the side. It’s not dog friendly for those that want to bring their fury friends and it’s a short walk from the beach. There is a pool as well and sun loungers so you can relax and sip cocktails. There is also an undercover “glass room” effect for if you want to enjoy the view while enjoying...

Visited the place after it underwent a renovation period of some 12 plus months hence under new management. Some favourites are no longer on the menu like the pani puri starter. Opted for the non veg starter plater for 2 was not at all disappointed the chicken bits where most soft and succulent 8/5,Kabab I'd say 2/5,samosas 3/5. Main course I had the sea food platter,muscle pot 4/5,chips on another level of taste 5/5,hake potions soft and tender 5/5,rice4/5 portions where good sizes,salads could use some dressing up what I thought where red bell peppers turns out to be very witingly sliced tomatoes the Calamari was as tough as old leather and absolutly tasteless 0/5. Other half ordered lamb chops masala with Naan bread she enjoyed the curry and Naan but not impressed with the Papadum 3/5.Friendly welcome and service .Prices are on the higher end since new management. (HOPE ITS NOT AN EFFORT TO RECOOP ON THE...
