+              Durban Curry was born from the fusion of two rich cultures: the aromatic spice traditions of Gujarat and the bold, sunny flavours of KwaZulu-Natal. Our founder, Priya Naidoo, learned the craft from her mother in a small kitchen in Chatsworth, using hand-ground masalas and locally grown chillies.

+              Today, we source our turmeric from the Umhlali Valley, our coriander from the Inanda community co-op, and our love from every guest who walks through our doors. We believe in <em>ubuntu</em> — I am because we are — and that translates into every dish we serve, from the signature bunny chow to the fragrant lamb curry.
