Roma Revolving Restaurant

The Roma Revolving Restaurant hosted us on 28 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.

Going to this restaurant was truly a once in a lifetime experience. The decor and ambiance is beautiful & the concept of a revolving restaurant just works. It’s so nice to see the Durban skyline, coastline, city etc throughout the night. The food was to die for. The staff was absolutely amazing, especially the manager, waiters and barman. I highly recommend visiting this establishment.

Last visited Roma about 10 years ago! I am happy to say that the service has improved a lot! Foods were all delicious. And we had an overall great time. A 10% service fee was added to the bill, but it was clearly visible, so that is all right with me.

I was transported to the 70s/80s which was very interesting and fun. For dinner, I had the orange glazed duck which was tasty and something different for me. The muscle starter was also nice. The sponge cake dessert was a bit underwhelming though and overpriced. Overall a nice experience.

Went there for Dinner the view is breathtaking and the food was delicious. Excellent service from our waitress.

Absolutely stunning experience - still great after many years - can’t say anything but wow 🤩 Durban CBD has been criticized for many reasons but by all means : Roma Restaurant is a place to go to and enjoy- the views, the atmosphere, amazing food and good old style service 👍🏼🥰

Beautiful experience seeing the whole of Durban from your table. I'm sure views would be much better during the day. The food was excellent. The dish that was flamed at our table was expertly prepared to perfection. The calamari was border line overcooked but otherwise a memorable outing.

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience! The restaurant is actually revolving, and it took about an hour and a half to two hours to complete a full 360-degree view. You can see the entire city of Durban, including the central CBD and the beautiful harbour. The view is absolutely stunning. The service was incredible. The owners personally came to check on us, making sure we were enjoying the food and service, which was such a nice touch. The waitstaff were also extremely friendly, and I really appreciated how welcoming they all were. The ambiance was just perfect—Italian music played in the background, creating a calming and romantic atmosphere. When I arrived, there were rose petals on the table, and they even provided a glass for the bouquet of roses I brought. Everything about the evening was blissful. The food had a homemade feel to it, and it was so heartwarming. I would a thousand percent go back! The entire experience was just amazing, from the food to the view to the atmosphere.
