    My food was very very disappointing. My wife ordered the 600g T bone steak and its was so tough and only taste like pepper that she could eat it. My daughter ordered a burger the burger patty was so dry and only taste of black pepper that she also never eat it. My steak was also so tough. It was my first time at The Grill Jichana and it will be the last time. My

    For that ultimate dinner experience this remains one of Durban's finest places. Our dinner party opted for chicken livers for starters and that went on to delivering a tangy feel was just an intro of things come. The special bread to nibble on was made with love, fresh and tasty. Main dish, I went for the tasty medium well Jochana Lamb steak and lion chops with garden veggies and they delivered. There was no space after for dessert. Some in the dinner party went for the shisanyama platter special which was recommended by our waitress. If you are a meat lover be warned, that platter comes with dessert. You'll wish you skipped the starter dish. Overall, great food and service. Made our dinner night special. Definitely a go-to place.
