Wow what a wonderful experience Delfi Greek Tavern is….. The food was outstanding, service world class and the ambiance very Greek styled. The prawn are world class, excellent choice at a reasonable price, we shared the 1kg platter and we delighted. You won’t be disappointed……....Book a table and enjoy authentic Greek in the heart of Durban. Safe & Secure parking outside the restaurant with security so no need to worry, just get there and enjoy.More

Great food. Prawns excellent. Had bread afterwards to soak up the sauce. Had Orange cake with ice cream for dessert. Also excellent. If you like a buzz the the Greek coffee, we had ours sweet, will do that for you

AMAZING, AUTHENTIC and UNFORGETTABLE!!!! This is a small and unassuming restaurant. Unless you have been told about it you would drive straight passed. It’s Greek food at its best. You need to book.

We returned to Delfi after a few years and found Maria still hard at work in the engine room. It was a pleasant afternoon, so we sat at a table on the pavement. The food is still as fresh and tasty as it was years...back. Prices are keen.More

I have been going to Delfi restaurant for many years as I love Greek food and I have always had exceptionally tasty food and excellent service. I few months ago we decided to try the peri peri prawns - oh my gosh, such a delicious...dish. We don't even look at the menu anymore - have to have the prawns and home made chips. Thank you so much Maria, it is always lovely to see you too!More

Wow! What a find and a local treasure - such delicious greek flavours without the usual cliches - two Greek sisters run this restaurant and it really was excellent . A fantastic choice for anyone vegetarian or with vegetarian guests - the chickpea cakes and...the grilled aubergine were particularly good - best to book though.More

Extraordinarily good home cooked Greek food. Reminds of my childhood every time. Very grateful for this place when I am nostalgic. Please do make a booking in advance though. Food is delicious and service is top notch. Well done!!!!!

This was my best eating experience in Durban! Shared the special of a kg of prawns...only disappointment was that I agreed to share! This is a family run business and there appeared to be incredible attention paid to each patron in the restaurant and mama...- the chef came out to check we were all happy! I hope the next time I visit that I will try something else on your menu...but if the prawns are on special again - I'm NOT sharing!!More

Delphi is fun, good food, brilliant service and you drop your bag of troubles at the door. We went with friends from Zimbabwe and they have said one of their best nights in years. As usual the Mezze Platter starter, followed by Maria's Prawns as...our main, finishing up with a Greek Custard Tart, could not be faulted. I highly recommend Delphi not only for meat and fish lovers but also vegetarians as you can order a platter of Mezze made from only vegetarian pieces, that are wonderful.More

We used to live in Durban and always intended to visit Delphi but somehow or other never made it. On a recent visit we eventually made it and we're so impressed that we had dinner there 3 times in the week - really good high...quality cooking with great ingredients, a decent wine list, excellent service and all at very competitive prices - wish it was in the Cape !More

We heard about the prawn platter so headed to Delfi to try it and see if it lived up to the hype. It most certainly did not disappoint! The restaurant is tiny and the other tables are right next to you. You can all hear...each other's conversations and you make friends very easily! The service was very friendly and warm; the waitress kept checking up on us but was in no way intrusive. The prawn platter was massive and the prawns were huge. They were not butterflied so you have to use your fingers to get their shells off, but man were they meaty. The sauce at the bottom of the platter was garlic butter and there was plenty of it to dip the prawns into. They were not shy with the garlic, which I love. I would definitely go back to try more of the menu.More

We loved the dinner we had here last night. The food is fresh and so tasty. The three starters we had were excellent. The stuffed steak ( I had feta only but can have olives too) was so tender. We particularly enjoyed the thick home...made chips and fresh veggies. Outstanding service just rounded off an amazing dining experience!More

We discovered this little place by chance & we've been hooked ever since. Food is made by a real Greek mom & tastes amazing. It's like I was sitting in a Greek tavern in Lesbos. Loved it & will definitely go again. Yum!!!

All I can say, if you want Greek food, Delfi is the place. Fresh, yummy, hospitable. One of the best Greek restaurants in towns, if not the best. Amy is on her toes. Maria, is well, Maria. I'd highly recommend to anyone craving Greek food.
