The Food Box 031 — Restaurant in Morningside

The ambiance was great however everything got ruined by one stall in particular Cinna bar, the lack of decorum and home training is utterly disgusting. The barman kept on say snarky remarks because we spoke in English from the time we got there, the pricing was wrong & we mentioned that and instead of apologising he made a sarcastic comment that we ignored. He then further escalated the remarks when he was time to pay as I was paying with Apple Pay but the machine wasn’t working and instead of fixing it he started insinuating that I didn’t have money to pay. My little sisters friend ended up having a verbal altercation with him and instead of apologising he said he was tired. After all that the drinks tasted like fancy bath water. I was thinking of coming back with my significant other but since black people aren’t allowed to speak English I don’t want to subject him to that. Worst part this establishment is in Durban the holiday destination for many people around the world who happen not to speak Zulu. Do better in training your staff because their attitude is disgusting non of them thought to tell the barman to mind his words instead fuelled him to carry on...

Decided to try venue out due a friend's craving for Wagyu beef. Venue has a few pods that caters for a variety of curries, pizza, smoked meat and ribs, teppanyaki, sushi and a few other delicious surprises; not forgetting decadent waffles. The Wagyu burgers were tried without the cheesy chilli sauce and far exceeded even my expectation. It was accompanied with a craft beer from a pod that serves up craft gin and some of the finest craft beer off tap. The environment was relaxed and kept us around for a few more icy drinks from the bar pod. We even debated trying another meal because the air around us was infused with notes of prawn and curry. We will definitely be back to experience a gourmet meal freshly prepared from one of the other pods. The venue is central, neat and tidy. One small snag is lack of insect catchers to lure flies away from customers when they are eating. Very good...

What a vibe this place has! Using the idea of a food court, The Food Box allows you to order and pay for food from a variety of different mini-restaurants. That means each member of your party can choose a different cuisine and still eat together. It's all there: burgers, ribs, pizza, Japanese, Thai, Indian, waffles, and a cocktail bar.

I ordered the mild chicken strips and chips on promotion at SALT and they were delicious. Not too spicy, not at all hard, but still crunchy. The soft-shell crab burger is something I've never seen before -- an entire battered crab on a burger! If you want chips on the side, ensure you order them separately because they are not included with the burger.

Parking is secure and under cover. Even on a Sunday night, there were plenty of people and we had a...
