I simply love Oriental for a good mutton curry. I always opt to sit inside the restaurant and not at the takeaway. Ask for uncle Collin, who will provide you with exceptional service!My usual order is boney mutton curry with basmati rice, a delicious bunny that’s dripping with gravy (be sure to request a lot of gravy) or a mouthwatering mutton biryani, which is served with dhal. If you’re looking for the best bunny in town, this place will offer you that!

Wow. The food here is amazing and the service is very good. Totally enjoyed!!@oriental in Galleria mall

Thank you Oriental restaurant for always such awesome service, your food is always fresh and always consistent.

Bought Bunny chow and Biryani from The Oriental and found a insect in my food after I ate it more than half way already. Absolutely disgusting!

So good I went back for more

Been here a few times, I was very happy with food and service. Recently paid a visit and was so disappointed! Our family ordered several different dishes which were good, although the chicken curry I ordered had a long strand of hair in it. I will not be visiting this branch anymore, rather try the branch at Galleria Mall in Amanzimtoti.

Glad to see Orientals has a new home. Best bunnies in Durban

I really love their food. Especially the tikka and bunny chows. Really well worth it. Excellent service. Will always be back for more...

Perfect spot for indian food

This is an institution in Durban and remains a favourite- and with good reason. Old school typical Durban-style restaurant service, always courteous and professional. The food has always been good. Everything on the menu works well. I recommend everything!!

We all know The Oriental Restaurant is famous for their Bunny Chow.I bought a bunny and It wasnt up to their usual standards. The meat was really tough, some pieces took a real chewing to go down. The salad wasnt fresh and the wait for the food was unbelievably long. The Bombay Crush was highly priced and hugely disappointing. All in all a very disappointing experience 👎🏼

Visited this place after Years and was not disappointed at all. Fresh hot spicy mutton curry Bunny Chow, which all of us indulged in.The wide array of salads and amazing fresh taste of the pickles really enhanced the spicy kick of the bunny chow.It was very filling and I didnt have much space for dessert after.Need to patronize again soon as Im salivating

This place is an amazing halaal restaurant. The service is impeccable. We searched 2 days for a place to eat until we got to this place. I highly recommend it as a must visit for some excellent cuisine.

Googled bunny chows and this place came up, great flavour and the way it was packaged was really cute. Great salads. Meat a bit tough but otherwise good.

Top chows ordered their mutton bunny chicken burger and chips and double cheese burger well worth it.

Such an Amazing atmosphere. The Mutton Bunny Chow was excellent. Service was on Point... Always a pleasure being at this restaurant.

I paid a visit to the Oriental Restaurant on Fathers day and was very disappointed in the quality of the meat in the lamb briyani and lamb curry which had an unpleasant taste. Understandably, it was a busy a busy period but quality should never be jeopardized.

Beautiful restaurant with some very friendly staff. The food is beautiful and gives a taste of a culture. It is very family friendly and accomodative. I personally enjoy a 1/4 Lamb bunny chow and Salad 🥗. Without a doubt the food is amazing. Great restaurant to invite clients for business lunch or a casual lunch.

Food is divine. Service is brilliant

Absolutely fabulous.. Have been eating here since back in my college days. And here I am a decade later, adoring their food. Lovely now they online and you can get your food delivered with MrDelivery

Its a nice place and thanks to our shaheen💛

Extremely poor service and I received food poisoning along with 9 other friends who ate Briyani at The Oriental Workshop. The owner was so rude and told us to take it to their insurance, we then spent more money to be checked by a pharmacist as the doctor could not see us as the symptoms we were experiencing was like covid and too many of us at the same time. Honestly they could have refunded our money, we already had to take 3 days off work from being violently ill. Not even an apology.

First time I visited this place. We had the Crab curry and tandoori chicken. Absolutely scrumptious and super large portions. Will be returning. Great food, keep it up. Love these gems.

Ok, so many people have complained about the service being a little bit slow. That really doesnt matter when the mutton curry is sooo good!!! Definitely recommend ordering a mutton curry and parata. Will be back.

Very good Indian food. Casual place. Food tasty and service was good. Halaal so no alcohol is served although non alcoholic cocktails are on the menu. Portions of food are very generous. Frequented by locals which is always a good indication of authentic local cuisine, for visitors and tourists.

Food was delicious, the service we got was excellent and the helping was generous. Would really recommend this place for a good bunny chow. Keep up the good work👍

Order a mutton bunny chow and it was amazing the flavour was paced into every inch of the dish and it created the best bunny chow in Durban. Other then that the service was fast got our drinks in a couple of minutes and got our food in a short amount of time.

The food is really tasty but when getting a take away,you wait far too long

Terrible. Ordered a Buddy Coke and it was flat. When sent back with the waiter, the assistant manager Zubair came back and proceeded to shake the bottle and tell me its not flat cos he can see bubbles. Our bill came to R580, did he think I was going to scan you guys for R30. Something that you guys probably pay R8 for at cost. Orientals is an institution in Durban, we expect better from you. Not forgetting the Sasol Garage branded serviettes you are using .... Thats a matter for Sasol SA.

They have the best food ever,Im going back there soon

I love it🍟🍱🍪🍳🍤

Delicious mutton bunny and curry

The best mutton bunny chow ever!!! Next time a visit Durban again this will definitely be my 1st stop. I still get cravings when I look at the pics 😋

The grilled prawns in tandoori sauce was devine as was the crispy calamari. Vincent the waiter was kind and very helpful.... and the kheer is an absolute must!!!!

Worst breyani ever, rice and dall hard, less salt. Wont ref my enemy to this take away.

I am so upset! I ordered from Orientals today, and when I ordered I specifically asked them is the chillie dog a mutton sausage, to which they replied, and I quote, Yes it is. When the ordered arrived an hour after the agreed delivery time, it was actually a CHICKEN VIENNA with chilli sauce on top. I DO NOT eat chicken viennas so if I had know that before hand, I would have ordered something else! Terrible Terrible Service!

Best bunny chow ever

Best place to enjoy Bunnie Chow when in town

The Restuarant is nice and revamped since my last visit a few years ago. The best prawn bunny and prawn curry I had. Seating is spacious and the place is clean. Some waiters are great and friendly while some need to learn to smile.

This place always delivers great food. Good fast service and great value for money. Beans Bunny Chow was generous, flavoursome, fresh and tasty. Mutton Breyani as as always, rich and tasty with enough left over for another meal. Shared portions are still enough🙂🙂🙂

Good food , good service an excellent venue for family get togethers.

Its had it Heyday , but lost its muster, shouldnt have went back had great memories of this place, expired sauce on the table till I pointed it out was a mood killer for me, One of the staff actually gave me the same sauce in a different metal serving cup and argued it was not expired even though it clearly was from the same bottle. To the gentlemen you know who you are ! Not cool mate, Im doing you a solid by not mentioning your name, On the flipside of this review my waiter Clinton was top notch maybe he should be the manager there , he clearly knows how to treat customers. Thanks Clinton.

The use of hand sanitizer is required when entering however they do not take your temperature. This could increase the risk in getting infected from patrons as masks are removed when seated and eating. The quality of the food is of a high standard which is always a pleasure

Some Colleagues and I ordered Orientals Chicken Biriyani and all 9 of us fell violently sick with food poisoning. 3 days off work, to only be told by the owner who is very unsympathetic and has a attitude that we must claim through our insurance and wont even offer an apology. To him removing our reviews from Social media. Will never order from there again!

The food is not always good. After a good review previously I found the restaurant empty and the food to be cold and below standard. This was my last visit. Never again will I eat here. I will advise alternate bunny chow places

Great service from Keith. Food was good as well but environment overly welcoming.

Fantastic service mouth watering delicious food and cocktails

Loved it, excellent service from colin, food was so good 👍

Very good Durban curry, was told to visit by a friend of mine. No regrets and really enjoyed it. Got a few of the meals to share with the family and all were very good

Best mutton bunny in the city! A true destination restaurant. Everything on the menu is worth a try.

The worst service ever, the staff ignore you, no queue system, my order wasnt ready when I called 30 min before pick up. They overcharged me and gave me attitude when I pointed it out to them. Staff not wearing masks, COVID-19 protocols not followed. The staff attitude generally was awful as if they are doing you a favour by serving you.Terrible experience

To be very honest I dont think you could get a better roti...its not possible...the food is fantastic. I got some takeout and it was still perfect even after reheating it hours later. Next time I would sit in and dine as it is such a relaxing vibe and looks like a place to go to eat good food with friends and family.

Amazing bunny! Had this after many years as a kid and must say this is one of Durbans best bunnies

The best service...most economical prices ...loved my breakfastKeep it up oriental team

Great food, terrible service :)

Excellent mutton bunny chow

They DONT buy cheap inferior ingredients then excellent spices & with their passion for food equals the best food.

Always liked all there foods

World-class service from Shaheeza. Fantastic menu and great prices

Mouth watering mutton bunny

Fantastic but what a long wait almost. An hour WOW

The food was very tasty however would suggest they expand their vegetarian options on the menu

Ate my mutton biryani after months i loved it.

The best bunnies EVER..Been very consistent for years....generous portions

Really nice curry at reasonable prices.

Hugh portions. Authentic Indian cuisine. The Bombay crush is sublime

Lovely restaurant. Food is delicious and well prepared. Chicken breyani is highly recommended.

If you can get a bunny chow better anywhere else, let me know. Awesome team, weve eaten here as a family for many years

Excellent service. Food is divine.

Good prices, you get ur moneys worth

This restaurant does not bother about service. Waiting now for 50 minutes. Kids are hungry but they dont bother. We also hit the jackpot the child found a piece of plastic in her burgerWill never come back here again

Amazing food as well as the service!Clinton was an awesome waiter.

Great food.

Excellent. The oriental food and service was excellent. Enjoyed enjoyed the food.

Very good experience

Used to be the best indian food in Durban. Definitely lost it. Wont go back there again. Food was horrible. Kheer was also bad. They dont follow any covid protocols. No distancing, staff dont even wear masks. Restaurant was so dirty, didnt even want to put my hands on the seat or table.

Had an awesome meal, fantastic service from Stan the waiter. Thoroughly enjoyed 👌

Food is excellent service is good

Really perfect and very safe space to take guests for a real Authentic Indian food experience.

It was ok, food was good but service wasnt.

Delicious food, waiter not so great.

The food was good but the service wasnt, we waited forever for our bill and the sauce cannisters were covered with foil which is pretty unhygienic. Wouldnt revisit.

Everyone raves about it but when we finally had a mutton curry bunny the curry was very good but the meat was chunky and tough

Great service... Delicious food

Delicious food...good food takes time to prepare so to wait a little longer than normal for your food is acceptable..

Durbans Tastiest Bunny Chow!

Always great food and brilliant service

As always when go there its outstanding

We remembered this wonderful central city resturant located at The Workshop in Durban, yesterday as we drove through the city. We parked in the secure undercover parking and walked up the stairs to the resturant. Greeted by friendly efficient staff, orders were taken and our food arrived promptly! The bunny chow is still amongst one of the best Ive had. Not too pungent, yet flavourful, with enough gravy to soak through to the bottom of the bunny chow. The kheer is exactly as I remember it, with its distinctive Orientals flavour. This meal and dessert did not dissapoint. I would highly recommend popping in for a meal.

Entered Oriental about 19h10.Told them i want to seated upstairs due to noise. But it seems to be very noisy. People just talking loud and no noise control.Could not even eat quietly.

Best prawn curry 🍛 Absaloutley delicious 😋Bunny is tastyKheer has a unique device taste 👌Service could be better though BUT the food makes it well worth it. Know wonder they open for over 20 years.A must when in Durbs

Best bunnies and kheer.. the breyani was superb as well..

Food was divineStaff need to learn how to be friendly

Food was terrible,breast pieces and curry was pasty and fingers was orange after eating

Food and service excellent

The food never disappoints,neither does the service. An absolutely delightful and warm atmosphere. I love their Kheer it always makes my tummy smile. Two thumbs up for me

Amazing time with good friends and great food. The bunny chews are the best in Durban.

Good service ❤️

Very friendly service especially Bridgette who was extremely efficient. Food was very tasty especially the Mutton Bunnie, which has the option of boneless mutton. The prawns masala curry was very tasty as well.

Top class food. Best ever family tandoori grill and prawns. The kids were dumbstruck and wife - inspired. Visited here after 2.5 decades....classic chows as always. Also shout out to my man Keith who ensured ground breaking service throughout the meals. Well done!! We will definitely eat here again during our next Durban visit.
