    I used to go there from Umzinto for the crab or prawn curry and used to stay at the LA Mercy Beach hotel. Up to today I have not come across a crab or prawn curry to beat what Seabelle chefs make. Moved to Cape Town 24 years ago, one can only dream about a curry like that here. When I visit I have a sister in Scotsburgh who makes a good crab curry. Will definitely visit when I am there again.

    The fist time my husband and I visited was in 2004 on Valentine's day,the place was full to capacity with dinner and dance ,,,we ordered 2 serving of prawn curry n rice ,,we were surprised at how huge the servings was. Even the hake ,chips n prawns is Devine. We always visited sea Belle again n again for supper or lunch. My hubby passed on n I never went back there again 😢

    After watching your video, twice, we went to Seabelle Restaurant with expectations of delicious, authentic Durban seafood and curry cuisine. Guys, please, if you taking this much time and effort to compile a video, make it an honest review. Apart from the shabby establishment, the food was nowhere close to "epic". We ordered a variety of dishes, ranging from the prawn curry (more like chutney) to the fish curry to meat dishes and even a seafood platter. Prawn curry : 4/10. Mutton curry: 3/10. Seafood platter : 4/10. Fish curry : 4/10. The kitchen declined to make the seafood platter for R520 claiming it takes too long to prepare crayfish. Service was rushed, waiters for in a tizz and there was zero ambience. A disclaimer would be nice, at the end of your video, that it is indeed a paid advertisement and as such, your content may be biased in favour of the establishment being promoted. Take some notes from Keeran Nadas and his honest reviews.

      * THIS VIDEO WAS NOT SPONSORED*
      Hi there, thank you for the comment. It is disappointing to hear that you have had a bad experience at the restaurant, but we need to clarify some points. We were not sponsored, we paid for the meals with our own money. Thousands, including us, have visited Seabelle’s and it is one of the reasons we wanted to make a video on it, not as a review but to share nostalgia. This was not the first time we went to the restaurant, and we mentioned it. We have been before and enjoyed food as we said. We do not claim to be professional foodie reviewers and we are not TikTok influencers who promote restaurants of their choice. If you noticed we didn’t take the time to rate the food, like you did, because we are not experts and don’t claim to be. This is purely based on our OPINION and this channel is made for entertainment, not for serious reviews, as most of our viewers and subscribers understand. When we do get complaints about establishments that we have featured, we pass it on to them but we are not entitled to due to not accepting sponsorships. There are many places that we have been invited to review, but have declined because we don’t like the food, we choose not too. We are not here to destroy anyone’s business or establishments, because we understand everyone has different tastes. Hope this clarifies things.
