Harbour Indian Kitchen by Chili & Lime — Restaurant in Mkunazini

We went to this restaurant twice. The first day was great — good food, friendly service — no complaints at all. That’s why we came back the next day. Big mistake.

This time, we had a simple request that the waitress didn’t fully understand, so we asked (politely) if we could speak to the chef. Instead of the chef, the owner barged in and started talking to us in the most arrogant, rude, and condescending way possible. He acted like we were the problem just because we wanted to clarify something. Instead of helping, he went off about how he’s trying to “train” his staff, completely missing the point.

Let me be clear: the waitresses were lovely — doing their best and very polite. The owner, on the other hand, was a complete opposite — rude, unprofessional, and full of himself.

In hospitality, the owner sets the tone — and unfortunately, this one clearly thinks being rude is part of the job.

Word of advice: DO NOT ask for the chef unless you want to be treated like an inconvenience. Seriously,...

The first thing to note is that this is a vegetarian only restaurant. When selecting this place, we needed to make sure that they accepted credit card which the hostess confirmed. However, it was not disclosed until payment that they would be adding a 5% credit card fee. When we asked why this was not disclosed, they told us that we were told at the beginning. When we expressed our displeasure with this, the host ignored everything, and acted like she did not care. We ordered four dishes, the stirfry vegetables was overly salty and could not be finished. The hostess/waitress was not good at explaining many of these dishes to us and seem not to really care about doing her job. Drinks took about 10 minutes to be served, mostly things that were already bottled. Malai korma was good. Also keep in mind that portion sizes are very small, so if one is very hungry this is not the...

Wooden doors, welcomed with a note of Hanuman Chalisa, earthy decors of brass items, sea paintings and a Kashmiri carpet hung in the dining room. This place is decked up like an Indian home.

Service is good, decent access to wifi, plethora of south/ north Indian options, pleasant waiters who are always smiling.

Food is delicious, a meal for two will be $20 if it’s only main course, $40 for appetisers + main course with good portions for two people. For the foreigners, medium spicy will also be very spicy, check with waiters wrt spice levels.

Order the authentic breads, rice, curry, pakodas and dosas if you want to get a taste of Indian food.

Cash, card is accepted in dollars/shillings but local...
