A more private occasion suits the mezzanine or private-dining room, subject to reservation arrangements.

Dukkah Restaurant & Bar is a contemporary dining and drinks venue on Florida Road in Morningside, Durban. The restaurant combines a polished social setting with a cuisine shaped by the cultures, colours and flavours of Africa’s eastern coastline.

The menu takes inspiration from a broad route that includes the Maasai Market in Nairobi, Stone Town in Zanzibar and the spice traditions that continue towards Durban. The result is modern African-influenced dining with an emphasis on varied flavours, textures and presentation. Lunch and dinner are served, making the restaurant suitable for a daytime meal, an evening occasion or a longer dining experience paired with drinks.

The main restaurant and bar has an upscale lounge character, with a setting designed for socialising as well as dining. The drinks offering includes cocktails, wine, champagne and premium spirits, giving the venue a clear focus on both food and beverage. The atmosphere suits occasions that call for a more refined setting without separating the dining experience from the bar.

Dukkah also includes several spaces for private and group occasions. The mezzanine can be arranged for exclusive lunches, dinners, meetings and celebrations. Level Up provides a more tailored setting with wine and champagne, premium spirits, cocktails and food that can be adapted for a function. A private dining room caters for smaller gatherings, with a customisable menu and the option of dedicated wine and whiskey selections.

The venue works for couples, small groups, private celebrations, corporate gatherings and guests looking for an evening built around African-inspired food and drinks. Its combination of a main restaurant, cocktail-led bar and function spaces allows different types of visits to take place under one roof. Gift cards are also available for occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, corporate rewards and personal celebrations.
