Best vegetarian restaurants in Durban
8 venues in Durban rated S to B for vegetarian, every tier backed by cited sources.
The entire menu is vegetarian – no meat, poultry, or fish is used. The homepage states 'vegetarian only means' and all listed dishes are plant-based or dairy-based. This is a vegetarian kitchen, so it's safe for vegetarians.
The venue is described as 'strictly vegetarian' by multiple sources, including a review on Eat Out and the venue's own HappyCow listing. All curries are reported to be vegan, and the kitchen is halal-certified. No dedicated equipment or cross-contamination protocols are mentioned, but the core menu is plant-based.
Honest caveat, Indian sweets on site contain dairy; ask about dairy-free options.
The menu lists multiple vegetarian bowls (Beetfu, Sprout, Tofu) and ramen options. Ingredients are clearly described, and the venue is categorised as offering 'Veg-options' on HappyCow.
A full vegetarian section on the menu includes dishes like Paneer Tikka Masala, Dhall Makhani, Palak Aloo, Chana Masala, and Aloo Jeera Masala. These are prepared in a shared kitchen with meat dishes, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff can accommodate when asked. No separate equipment noted.
Palki is an Indian restaurant with a strong selection of vegetarian dishes, clearly listed as a Vegetarian restaurant on multiple platforms. The kitchen serves both vegetarian and non-vegetarian items, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff are likely accustomed to vegetarian requests.
Uber Eats menu lists multiple vegetarian options: Sweetcorn Samoosa, Three Cheese Toasted Sandwich, Potato Samoosa, and the 'Roasted vegetable tramezzini' (though one reviewer reported it didn't match the description). The menu also includes a spinach shakshuka and an 'Eastern Breakfast'. A Google review of another Glenwood Bakery notes 'lots of vegetarian options' but this is not directly about Country Bake. The venue is a bakery/cafe with clearly identifiable vegetarian dishes on the menu.
Many menu items are clearly vegetarian (e. g. wraps, salads, toasties, smoothies) and the HappyCow listing notes this is a Veg-options venue serving lacto-ovo. However the kitchen also handles meat and fish in shared prep spaces. No dedicated vegetarian equipment is noted. Marked menu helps with selection but cross-contamination risk is present.
The menu includes vegetarian options such as pizzas, pastas, and breakfast dishes. The kitchen is shared with meat dishes, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff are described as helpful and accommodating.
