This legendary exclusive revolving restaurant was officially opened in February 1973. The Roma was born from a concept pioneered by Bartholoeo Ribero, Turi and Gino Leopardi. Now proudly owned by the Reelin Group and managed by the Leopardi brothers. We are proud to say that we are the only genuine revolving restaurant in the southern hemisphere and the 3rd of its kind in the world. Roma Revolving Restaurant also boasts the unique feature, as two others do, of a revolving window and floor area! The restaurant is situated on the 32nd Level of the John Ross House overlooking the whole of Durban and surrounding areas with excellent sea and bay views.

    The Roma Revolving Restaurant hosted us on 25 June 2025 in celebration of my husband’s 50th birthday. It was truly an elegant and memorable dining experience with food that was faultlessly prepared and presented. The hallmark of the evening was certainly the table side preparation of the Chateaubriand and Crepes Suzette, for which Roma is renown, expertly executed by the famous Gino. I last visited Roma in 2014 and now more than 10 years later it remains the Grand Madame of fine dining in Durban. The Roma staff are par excellence adding to the elevated experience.Together with the views offered by this location, these are the ingredients for an exceptional evening out. This grand lady could however do with a refresh to ensure that she doesn’t lose her brilliance. Nonetheless thank you Roma Revolving Restaurant for a wonderful evening.

    Visited Roma Revolving Restaurant in Durban – what an experience! The 360° view of the city and harbour was absolutely stunning and made the evening feel special. The service was warm and attentive, and the Italian owners even came by to say hello, which was a nice touch. The décor is a bit old-school, but it adds to the charm. Great spot for a unique, memorable night out!
