  • Amazing value for money. Every item was cooked exactly as requested! Staff are so polite, full of smiles … can see they’re happy to be at work unlike many other places that have staff act like they’re doing the customer a favour. I’m so thrilled to have discovered this place where a tasty meal can be enjoyed at budget prices and an awesome sea few. Wound be even better if the glass was tinted on the upper level dining area but there’s always the option of eating outdoors or on the lower level. Just that my group loved the view on the inside upper level. It’s our favourite hang-out for Breakfast . Easy access for wheelchairs too

  • Had a wonderful experience, the view is amazing, friendly helpful staff, the food was okay but the DRINKS were amazing. The Cocktails are also very affordable, starting at R65. Will definitely visit again.

  • The Joint in Durban Beach is an absolute gem! I recently visited and was blown away by the stunning ocean views and delicious food. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. I loved the laid-back vibe, perfect for a relaxing day out or catching up with friends. The menu did not disappoint, with tasty options like braai-style meat and local sides. I had the chicken wings, and they were sensational! The cocktails were also a hit, with affordable prices starting at R40 What really stood out was the atmosphere - a perfect blend of good music, good people, and a relaxed yet lively vibe. Whether you're there for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, The Joint ticks all the boxes. Plus, it's wheelchair accessible and has great views from different seating areas

  • If you’re in Durban and looking for a great spot to unwind, The Joint / The Cotton Club in South Beach is definitely worth it. The vibe is unmatched - a perfect blend of good music, good people, and a relaxed yet lively atmosphere. What I enjoyed most was how it caters to different moods: whether you’re there to chill, catch up with friends, or just enjoy the Durban nightlife, it hits the mark. The service is solid, the energy is warm, and the crowd makes you feel right at home. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer than planned. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience the true Durban social scene.
