TSD Ultra Lounge

For those seeking to experience the true essence of the Durban Vibe, the TSD Ultra Lounge is a must-visit destination. Situated in the vibrant city of Durban, this lounge encapsulates the city’s cultural fusion, offering a perfect blend of music, decor, and cuisine. Regular visits to TSD Ultra Lounge have become a cherished tradition for many Durbanites, as we immerse ourselves in the lively atmosphere and savour the exquisite dishes that reflect the creative spirit of Durban. The venue also hosts live music and karaoke nights, adding an extra layer of excitement and entertainment to our visits.

This is far from fine dining. It is tasty local African/Indian fusion food served in stainless steel or enamelled plates and mugs. But what it lacks in style it makes up for in food quality, low pricing and huge portion sizes. 

The menu at TSD Ultra Lounge is a testament to Durban’s multicultural African/Indian fusion culinary landscape. One of our absolute favourites is the Chicken & Prawns Bunny, a delightful take on the traditional bunny chow. This dish, with its perfectly spiced chicken and succulent prawns with a spicy curry sauce, nestled in a hollowed-out ½  loaf of bread, is often hailed as the best in Durban. The bunnies here are renowned for their rich flavours and generous portions, making them a standout choice for anyone exploring the best restaurants in Durban. The term “bunny chow” might sound whimsical, but it holds a significant place in Durban’s food culture, embodying the city’s unique blend of Indian and African influences.

For breakfast enthusiasts, the Handicap Breakfast is a hearty delight. This dish combines crispy bacon, two perfectly cooked eggs, toast, a juicy tomato, and a flavourful Russian, a type of smoked sausage that adds a smoky depth to the plate. Moving to the main courses, the Eskort Pork Sausages served with onions and chilli deliver a robust and spicy kick, making it a favourite among meat lovers. Vegetarians are not left out either; the Vegetarian Basket, featuring soya sausages, soya strips with onions and chilli, crumbed mushrooms, potato samoosas, and chips, offers a delightful array of textures and flavours.

Every Friday, the TSD Ultra Lounge features a special theme based on Breyani. Our favourite is the Mutton Breyani, a fragrant rice dish cooked with tender mutton and aromatic spices. This dish is a true representation of Durban’s rich culinary African/Indian heritage and a favourite among the regulars. The creative cuisine at TSD Ultra Lounge truly embodies the Durban Vibe, blending traditional and contemporary elements to create unforgettable dining experiences.

Situated in the heart of Durban, TSD Ultra Lounge is not just a culinary haven but also a gateway to some of the city’s top attractions. Within a 500-metre radius, you can visit the Durban Botanic Gardens, a lush retreat offering beautiful landscapes and a glimpse into the region’s flora. The Suncoast Casino and Entertainment World is another nearby hotspot, perfect for those looking to extend their day with some excitement. Have you explored these attractions yet?
