Indian Summer — Restaurant in KwaZulu-Natal

This restaurant has unprofessional and untrained staff. I have this problem previously whereby you call them and they tell you that they open for business. You drive all the way there... Doors are open and a handwritten sign stuck on stating " Welcome please use other entrance" We asked to look at the menu as we wanted to have some masala chai. We were blocked by the waiter asking us if we wanted a table and we said yes we wanted to have tea. Then we were told the kitchen is closed. I started complaining and asked for the owners number. After 5 min a gentleman by the name of Anand rocked up from the kitchen posing to be the owner. He told me its advertised everywhere that they close between 3 and 5pm...they could have told us that on the phone.... It's teatime... 2.45 pm in the afternoon. Why have your doors open in the first place. Why not give the customer the correct information. Sorry. These guys not need to be in business. There are plenty other food places that will welcome your patronage . Disgusting. Please do not support this restaurant.... U might never know what goes on in the kitchen...

If you blink your eyelid, you might miss this place. It’s close to a hardware store a few metres down Swapo Road after you turn off Kenneth Kaunda. When we arrived, there we no other customers so I was a bit sceptical. My Mum was optimistic. We decided to order aloo paratha and masala tea and take it from there. Everything is fresh, so it took a few minutes to make the tea. The wait was worth every second. We were served tea in a pot - 3 cups of tea and the last sip was still hot. The aloo paratha was soft and delicious served with a coriander and mint chutney. After two bites we were ready to order our main course. I had muttar paneer with Luchha paratha and Mum Hyderabad biryani. The paratha was perfect, soft with crispy bits, the paneer was perfectly cooked in a balanced tikka masala type sauce. Hyderabadi biryani was unique in its flavours and balanced with fresh vegetables, paneer and Sambals. Even with a 10% tip, our bill was just a little over ZAR 300. Pity we didn’t take...

Warm,friendly, and inviting ..... our order was answered by a very meticulous person who assured us that our order will be ready in 45min to an hour....yup it was the chicken Tikka masala, the lamb dhall gosh and the chicken lollipop, hmm just for 2 of us might I add cos the menu was so inviting .... upon arrival to collect, we were met with the warm owner who brought out our food.... my goodness, the smell alone was pure joy ,I rushed home...3 mins away... sat down and got into it.... Let's just say it was way above my expectations, absolutely delicious, left a huge smile on my face, I'm so glad you moved close by, and thank you for such a great experience A must try 👌 👏 keep up...
