Just finished eating here. Still as amazing if not better from my last experience in 2016. I see soft drinks are now included , also tea's and coffee. Waiters are excellent on service and everything is very clean. Cost per a person is R395. Vegetarian options: Limited but some.
A wonderful experience that l can't wait to repeat. The variety on offer is truly staggering and all the dishes are well seasoned and delicious. There is a something for everyone's tastes, and the dessert selection is a winner. The staff are friendly and helpful. My only criticism is that the restaurant is relatively small, the tables close together & the lines snake among the tables. Almost impossible to social distance. Best to go during off peak times but it's a must to experience. Definitely value for money.
I am absolutely taken aback by how rude the manager Shalen Manda was. Instead of being accommodating and recognising that the communication from the telephone booking was not specific about the time he was so rude. I arrived around 6pm near the parking of the building with my family. Then took time to find parking and do covid compliance. I then arrived to be told my table has been given to someone else. This was exactly at 18.30. When I did the booking no one told me I had to be at the restaurant exactly at 6pm when I did the booking. In fact I was instead informed the buffet goes from 6pm to around 9pm, when I asked about time specifics. At this point no one told me that of I don't arrive exactly at 6pm that my table would be given away. For R395 per head the de-escalation skills are sub par. This is the worst restaurant experience I have had until Nontando Ndlovu assisted with turning the tables around. The food and hospitality was saved by not the manager which is his job but by the friendliness of the restaurant staff, chefs, waitors and waitresses. The food was great, however some items could be improved such as overcooking and freshness of fish. Although the overall experience didn't turn out so poorly, I will keep the rating at 1 star because of the way my booking was handled.
Having changed our booking 3 times from different restaurants, we were glad we did. Everything was on point. The food, the service, the ambiance. To top it off, they have something for everyone's pallet.Food: 5/5
I booked a table for my parents in celebration of my dads 70th birthday. I paid 3days in advance and sent the proof of payment which was acknowledged in writing by the reservation manager. I also requested something special be done for my dad and the reservation manager said they would organise a cake. My parents went to the restaurant and as they were eating they were called to the reception, like they were small kids called into the principals office and told they eating without paying! Not only was this embarrassing but the insinuation that they are thief’s , eating without paying is disrespectful and unacceptable. The lack of planning and organising to align the restaurant staff with the management of the reservations is mediocre and disappointing! Thanks for ruining my dads birthday when he traveled all the way from Joburg to Durban for his special day!
Thank you Elangeni for a great family event!!! Efficient, friendly staff to a 60th birthday hosted on the 14th January. Food was lovely as always. Keep up the quality of food! Will definitely keep this place as a go to for future celebrations. #Joseph & NicoleFood: 5/5
The food was great and the staff are brilliant... just overcrowded and the ambiance wasn't appealing.
An Awesome Experience at Lingela Restaurant, Fantastic Atmosphere, Friendly Staff, Special Mention to Chef Aadhil who went out of his way to prepare a meal not on the menu, A Very Special Thank Aadhil, Much Appreciated Food: 5/5
Huge buffet offering lunch and dinner. Located inside Southern Sun Elangeni. Many options to choose from. Very meaty menu. Generic pasta, salads and curry vegetarian options offered. I enjoyed what little vegetables that were on offer and my colleagues thoroughly enjoyed the meat curries and carvery. There's also a seafood stir fry area offering prawns and fish which was constantly busy. Tea and coffee are included in the buffet. The washroom facilities are a little bit of a walk away from the restaurant but are still located within the hotel. The floors are highly polished so watch your step too. Staff were super fast, friendly and helpful and were always around when needed.
The food was good the waiter was awesome, he was soo tentative we were a party of 27, there needs to be something done about the lack of fun and spirit. Ooh and the lighting sucksFood: 4/5
