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.

    Meals are great. Just not good value for the kids even the half price. I had 3 kids at ages 6, 9, 6… only ate a small meal once. Didn’t think the price for them was worth it.

    All my guests thoroughly enjoyed the food—compliments all around. Hats off to the chef, who truly went above and beyond, including an awesome fix to the birthday cake after it was damaged during transit. This effort did not go unnoticed and added a special touch to the celebration. Thank you to the entire Lingela team for the excellent food and overall experience. As a small point of feedback, table clearing could be a bit more prompt, as I did have to request a few times for used dishes to be cleared. This is shared purely to help enhance what was otherwise a very enjoyable occasion.
