Horrible - Lamb ribs
Thava indian Restaurant ( Sumcoast -Durban ) Good evening, I wanted to share my recent experience at your restaurant, which left me quite disappointed. During my holiday in Durban, I visited Suncoast and was in search of beef ribs, as I don’t eat pork. Passing by your restaurant, I asked a waiter if you served beef ribs. He mentioned lamb ribs instead, so I decided to come back later. About two hours later, I returned, encouraged by a friend’s recommendation that Havana offered good meat options—unfortunately, by the time I arrived, they were already closed. Finally, I sat down at your restaurant, where a very friendly waiter greeted us. I asked him to bring us two of those ribs, even though I was initially skeptical. He offered us a choice between spicy and honey-glazed, and since I’ve stopped eating spicy foods, we chose the honey option. I was excited when the ribs arrived, thanks to their appealing presentation. However, our enthusiasm waned as we started eating—they turned out to be overly sweet, looked like they’d been chopped with an axe, and tasted more like goat meat with lots of small bones. We couldn’t finish them, asked for doggy bags, settled the bill, and left without looking back. Honestly, I’d rate those ribs a 1 out of 10 and wouldn’t return because first impressions matter. I’d advise you not to sell that type of ribs, and I’ll be giving mine to a street vendor but he was not there when I arrived back at the hotel. On a positive note, your restaurant looks fantastic, and your team is energetic and friendly. However, I must suggest removing those ribs from your menu. I don’t usually complain, but I felt compelled to share this feedback. Ultimately, it’s up to you what you do with it.

Outstanding restaurant
Went to Thava Reataurant at Grand West Casino. Outstanding service. We have both the mutton curry. The best curry ever had at a restaurant. The curry so tasty. It was also beautifully served. Big portion. Staff very friendly and helpful. We had an early meal at 18h00 on the Friday and restaurant still not too busy. Can highly recommend the restaurant. Will be back soon.

Cheating the customers ?
It is indeed great place for Indian cuisine but they automatically added tip of 10% on the total amount without prior notice. I didn't even notice it on the menu card. I am not sure if this is legal. I tried to speak with manager but his answers are just ****up.

Racist treatment of Indians
If you are Indian, definitely avoid. Tge owners/ managers still stuck in apartheid mindset and treat Indians as inferior. They feel we need to sit with our clan, in the proverbial corner. Wake up Thava and learn from your non Indian owned restaurants that we deserve better treatment.
