Earning the reputation as the best buffet in Durban, Lingela at Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani is a perennial favourite both with hotel guests and Durban locals. Lingela turns the tables on traditional buffets, inviting diners to interact with the chefs who will prepare dishes to your taste.

A range of starters, salads and side dishes, casseroles, Durban curries, breyani, tandoori oven specialities and a carvery with all the trimmings are included in the buffet selection. Choose your favourite at the carvery from roast leg of Karoo lamb with mint sauce, roasted farm fresh chicken with cranberry sauce as well as tender roast beef with horseradish. The dessert buffet offers a selection of gateaux, tartlets, mousses and sweets - the perfect finish to a sumptuous feast at Lingela Restaurant.

    Hi there, everything was good; however, I feel that the buffet should also have something for kids that are under 4, like a play area for entertainment for them. that would make parents at least at ease, knowing that they can enjoy the buffet as well.
