Billal Cuisine North Beach Branch — Restaurant in North Beach

Went to the restaurant after 2 doctors appointments with the wife after reading the rave reviews on FB .Got to the place was handed menus by a bravo male .When I enquired about the starter regarding the samosas ie menu reads 4x(mince; potato; sweetcorn; chicken) if we could get 2 sweetcorn and 2 mince he plainly refused and said that was not possible so I asked him to please call the manager so I could ask him if such a request was possible he then turned nasty and says " Do you think I'm stupid" I told him hold on my friend I'm not fighting with you all I am doing is requesting to talk to the manager .NB said waiter did not have a name tag on and also the Indian gentleman who came out supposedly the manager who later admitted he was a waiter and not the manager or owner.He said they could not do two different samosas but we would have to buy the seperated ie 4 mince and 4 veg .Who wants to eat 4 large samosas and on top of that eat ur meals.While conversing with the so called manager the 1st waiter came out and gave me such a dirty look that I was on the verge off getting up and leaving the establishment when the elderly gentleman convinced me otherwise.Place our orders that did come in a short space of time my mixed veg bunny was spot on wife's mutton biryani was nothing to write home about my appletizer was warm .Ordered a deconstructed Kabab bunny for son at home was informed if it's a deconstructed bunny then u pay another 10 rand more for the pickle that normally come with a sit down bunny .When I enquired about toilet facilities I was directed to the municipal toilets on the beach front some 7 to 8 hundred metres away.I wonder how establishments are granted a licence to operate with out basic facilities. Very disappointed will not go...

I bought two chicken bunnies , the curry was terrible , the bread at the bottom was soggy , the curry had no flavor .It was evident that they added water to the curry from the previous day .the water washed gravy of the chicken and potatoes. i bought the bunny special , I thought that maybe the curry for the special is different from the normal curry since it was so bad . I called the waiter to address my concerns ,He agreed that the base was soggy , he tried to justify it by saying the curry was just cooked thats why its watery which didnt make sense , nevertheless he denied that the curry was different for the special and took what was left of the bunnies and went to throw it . My parents really felt like eating a good curry and seeing their disappointment just made me more irritated so Before leaving i went to the bald man behind the till to inform him of my experience , He refused to accept the fact that the curry had water and became rude and defensive as if i was making it up , he said “we do not use water in our curry , we use tomatoes and onions “ which is a blatant lie I told him that he can ask the waiter to show him the bunnies in trash bin and I left . I will strongly not recommend their food . Its evident they are using the previous days food to be served to customers and taking short cuts in their service . As for their attitude it was bad there was no apology . you rather pay more for your food elsewhere and get...

Looking for a scenic view of Durban's golden mile. Billal serves food to satisfy one's interest in Indian cuisine. You bound to come back for more. From the breakfasts to the dinners and anything in between leaves you satiated. I recommend their fresh fish breyani, bunnies, paneer burger, etc... My guests enjoyed the variety of breakfasts on many occasions. According to one of my guests...the sausages are the best flavoured signature mixture they've tasted. Another was impressed with the quality and quantity of chops. The warmth and the culinary advice from the waiters like Shane will keep you returning to this venue. Shane is more than a waiter...he treats patrons with care ...and performs his duty like a host with his guests While eating and socializing, strollers of all shapes and sizes keep you entertained against the backdrop of the waves as it cascades down bathing the shore in it frothy, foamy water. Billal's a place one will definitely return to often because the ticks over-weigh the crosses. It's not fancy but it definitely satisfies...
