If you’re ever in the South Coast area, do yourself a favour and pop into @cbalirestaurant 😍 They make the most insane sushi, burgers, cocktails and seafood! You can find them on St. Michael’s beach 🌊 You won’t be disappointed!

Very nice and fresh food. I had the Calamari grilled with the lemon butter sauce and it was very good. My fiancee had the pulled pork quesadilla which she loved. We also had the salmon fish cakes which were a good portion and contained a good amount of fish. The onion rings were also very good and not very oily.Service was also very good and were very helpful and friendly.

A stunning and modern venue still in keeping with a comfortable atmosphere and some splendid vistas of the beach and ocean.Tucked away from the bustling centre of Margate and Shelly Beach, a large venue with good parking facilities.There is a wheelchair/disabled accessible parking space but the ramp was a bit out of the way.A tremendously varied menu to suit every palate with some of the best Sushi that I have had the pleasure of sampling!We had a friendly and patient waitress who met us at the entrance and helped us to navigate through the plethora of menu options, good service is a rare thing and we appreciated that she was available but not constantly at the table. We didnt feel rushed at any point and one or two cocktails quickly turned into sushi and fries finished off with a gourmet milkshake.The only criticism I had was that the beautiful Death by Chocolate milkshake; while beautifully presented with lots of nuts and wafers drizzled with chocolate sauce and accompanied with a brownie and cream & cherries, was a little thin and bland once you got through all the decadent layers.In summary, possibly the best eatery in the area, will certainly be back!

C-Bali is located in an ideal spot, right near the beach β›± and near the tidal pool.They offer a wide variety of cuisines to cater for different taste buds. They also have an impressive selection of Gin & Tonics 🍸 for the alcohol lovers.The staff were very polite and friendly and regularly checked up on us to make sure everything was okayπŸ‘Œ.The sushi was beautifully presented and equally delicious πŸ˜‹.

We loved C-Bali so much we visited twice in 3 days. The food is amazing and the service is friendly and fast. Wish I lived on the South Coast to visit them every weekend. The seafood is amazing and the sushi is some of the best we have had. Pricing is spot-on and the portions huge! You will definitely not be disappointed. Hope to see you soon again!

One of the best sea front restaurant around Shelly Beach and Port Shepstone, C-Bali serves it’s purpose providing you some quality beer difficult to find around.Other nice cocktails and hot drinks are add on but being as I beer lover, I would ask one to visit this place. Nice food, good ambiance and amazing location makes this place more beautiful. For sea food lovers, Oysters are must to taste. Brownie as a dessert after food tops the taste and makes your evening more fresh and relaxing.

Exceptional quality and fantastic dining experience. The meals were beyond what we anticipated and expected. This restaurant features amongst the best of fine dining in high end restaurants... and yet they are not priced out of the market.The restaurant was busy and we did not make reservations and yet we were gladly accommodated. The views of the ocean are the cherry on top...The parking area in the public section could do with some police patrols. Too many weirdos demanding money...

After a first time experience of a Breakfast run from Galleria to the South Coast with the Nissan 350Z Kzn group(which was totally exhilarating and awesome), we built up quite an appetite and decided on a lovely restaurant with the most breath taking views, it was said to have thee best sushi, burgers and cocktails....called C-Bali, St Michaels on SeaAnd boy did they deliver on their promise.....I am an avid sushi lover and I can hands down say, that this was thee best sushi that I have had thus far...the picture really does not do them justice.Their menu is vast and portions are massive...Having tasted their chicken schnitzel with prawns, I can say that their main meals are also quite yum. Everyones meals went down really well, and for those that had the cocktails and burgers, they were impressed. So overall C bali definitely held up to their rep of Good Food....definitely a place I would re-visit and recommend ....

Review β„–36

Ive been here maybe three years ago, so, I decided to take a scenic drive and visit. Again, not disappointed. Firstly, the location with those magnificent waves crashing close by, thats Amazing. This place is busy, patrons just constantly pitching up, but, all Covid checks and protocols are in place. The staff are great, theres just a seamless operation in place, very well organized and really pleasant and efficient staff. This place is a prime example of Teamwork, the Management should be very pleased with their service levels. The beer is icy cold, just Perfect. I had a Steak, generous in serving with Chips and some complimentary Roasted vegetables that were really good. The meal on the whole was just Excellent. Several patrons ordered Sushi, it seems to be a favourite and by the looks of some of those Sushi servings, I can understand why, looks delicious. I would most certainly visit again when visiting KZN, this place leaves me feeling very happy and satisfied indeed.

It was my 3rd time at this restaurant and I’ve never experienced such bad service. We got there to a welcoming manager but it all went south when our waitress came to our table with water and greeted no one at our table, as we tried ordering she walked away, she sent a trainee that told us that our waiter is busy with other tables, as if we came to eat for free. Anyway we placed our order, after that we waited for 1h30min, when we decided to go because clearly no one wanted us there then our food comes out. We felt disrespected and I’m disappointed.

Very peaceful. Food was good. We had the fish dishes my wife the Sole and I had the Hake only thing I didnt like was the helper or waiter did offer us the Saturday special which I learned after I got home was a fantastic meal. Bad service. Hope they learn from this. Overall it was a great place. Definitely going back before I leave for home.

This restaurant is very nice. The food is good, the staff is friendly, except the one time the guy I assume to be the manager was not impressed with us for not making a reservation during the COVID two week lockdown, the place is family friendly, their out door area is nice, and has covers for those windy days, beautiful sea views, the beach is a few steps away, the car washing guys are also friendly along with the mini flea market people outside. The atmosphere is really nice for all.
