roma revolving restaurant

epic experience to eat on the 32nd floor while you're treated to an amazing view while you revolve. the food itself however is average. the complimentary bread basket was stale, but i enjoyed my spinach and ricotta cannelloni (however got no parmesan to go with it) and my girlfriend enjoyed her veal. the service we received from our waiter was below standard. but we ended the evening off on the bar on the deck, and overall, had a great time.

whatever reviews i have read about this restaurant about the service being too slow, waiters not friendly, place dilapidated and food not good quality contradicts everything i experienced at lunch today.

i booked via email. they were very quick to help with bookings and extra information. when we got there the entrance was beautiful with statutes and artwork. the waiters who assisted us (and about 3 of them) took such good care of us. they spoke to us about the restaurants and made good suggestions with regards to meals. the food was delicious! nothing could be complained about. the duckling ala orange is a must try. for someone who has never eaten duck before that leap of faith was well worth it.

the view...the view...the view...absolutely amazing. seeing the harbour and watching the boats go in and out and the beautiful ocean there is no comfort compared to watching such beauty.

if you are thinking about visiting roma stop thinking and go. you will never be dissapointed! we also had an opportunity to meet the owner who was incredibly kind and very passionate about what he does! make sure you go on the roof top aswell to take in more of the beautiful views. well worth the visit!

a pleasure from start to end. had to move my booking twice, and they happily obliged even thou the restaurant was full to capacity. well experienced and friendly staff kept us entertained throughout the night. the food was amazing, fit for the special occasion and prices weren't bad at all. for such at old establishment the deco is still amazing and the furniture in decent shape although it's showing some age.

food: 1
ambiance: 1
service: 1

the only thing great about this place is the dessert trolley and the view... not the grandest menu and set up... needs a revamp badly!

i been to the roma revolving restaurant several times but i am always in awe. the slowly revolving restaurant is classy and sophisticated as you view durban town and the indian ocean. perfectly located. the staff are efficient friendly and polite. the food divine.

this place is simply amazing. for locals, you have to experience it at least once. and if you got any foreign guests this is a must. you view the whole of durban in an hour of sitting there. the experience is phenomenal. the food is incredible. proper italian dishes made authentically. the decor and service is also of a high level.

starter: crumbed calamari (2/5) - would have been good if it wasnt for the weird fishy after taste and being over chewy (also found fish bones????)

main: monrey (4/5) - cheesy steak fillet which was very good

service: (1/5) - sooooo much of confusion amongst the waiters and they take forever to do anything...

would have given a higher rating if it wasnt for the poor service....

the stunning 360 degree view of durban at night including the harbour and the cbd with all the lights on, make for a lovely experience, from 32 floors high. with you slowly rotating doing a full revolution in an hour gives you a spectacular view of the beautiful city.

the service though is slow, but the waiters are friendly and chatty, but trying to get your waiter can be a bit of a mission. food, in my opinion, was average and takes a while. the lasagna, well that was just plain old lasagna, but nothing wrong with that. the steak was just ok.

we were given a bill at the end of the evening, which included items we did not order, but that could have been a genuine mistake, but make sure you check yours thoroughly.

lovely restaurant and food. beautiful views of durban.
the waiters need to be more alert and faster

had the duckling a la orange - loved every bite.
my boyfriend had the spaghetti pescatore. it was slightly sour but still delicious.

it was interesting how the desserts came on a tray. i liked that the desserts were brought to you and you could eat with your eyes first.

i feel that this place could be so much more. it is an icon in durban and one of the last truly revolving restaurants. the food is very good and the service is ok but upon walking in you feel like you're in a casino hotel from the 80's. the same 'elegant' drapes still line the windows as you revolve around the bleery italian murals that have faded along with the romas glitz. even the fish in the foyers tank are screaming to be set free of this monotony. sad considering the potential it has.

a beautiful restaurant with a beautiful view. it is more fitting to go there in the evening. i was impressed with the starter (i had a prawn starter) for the main i had a sea food pasta which was good..the service was great, its a beautiful place! loved it!

retuned to this restaurant after many years away from durban. so chuffed to note the place has maintained it's high standards of service and quality of food. highly recommended spot for a date night or any occasion. the views over the city and its harbour are unrivaled which adds so much to the whole ambience and experience. go there,it's worth it

what an amazing experience! the food was spectacular. the views gorgeous. the service excellent. it was such a special way to spend an afternoon. from the outside it didn't look like much, but from inside it is a little slice of heaven. thank you team roma!

from beginning to end it was an amazing experience! the atmosphere relaxing and view stunning. wonderful food and brilliant staff. the manager comes around to take your order and we received great recommendations from him. from starters through dessert not a single bad dish, all delicious (me and my husband's dishes were (starters) 1. smoked chicken pancake 2. calamari (mains) 1. lamb ossobuco 2. sole (dessert) 1. tiramisu 2. cheesecake). well worth the price. our server gordon also fantastic and friendly. will definitely be back on our next visit to durban.

friendly service
the city of durban looks really nice especially at night. food was good, from starters to dessert. it was a great experience indeed.
