The vibe is amazing....went here for the first time at night and it is so worth the drive from the south coast. So many dining options, Live music, safe parking. Wish I had taken more pics

My partner and I love Lupa and go there often but very disappointed after our last visit. The waitress Gaily was not as friendly as the lovely faces that have served us before. She just seemed to have an attitude and of course an attitude does not need a voice.Delicious food but I'd rather stick to their pizzas and pastas. Tried the fillet steak and was not that impressed. The presentation was great but the chips were mushy and the onion rings a bit raw and doughy.Usually we see managers on the floor but this evening they weren't in sight. It's unfortunate, we do still love Lupa and hope to return with a better experience.

Best Lupa in and around Durban. I've tried others but the quality of the food and friendly, efficient service cannot be beaten.Ballito Lifestyle Centre has so much to entertain and delight you, with the live music near the restaurants and the array of stores to explore. You'll always feel like you're on holiday when you visit this place.

An upmarket restaurant within the Lifestyle Centre, Lupa has an amazing romantic atmosphere and is perfect for dinner with someone special. The food is excellent and there is a good selection of wine. I highly recommend spending an evening enjoying the ambiance and live music (on the weekends).

We took my mom here for Mother's day so it was quite crowded. We were seated very close to the bar area where waitors gathered so it was disturbing.Food is delicious but took a while because they were very busy.Service was good.Lovely atmosphere if it's on a quieter day

A few days ago, my friend and I ate at this restaurant and when we left, i noticed that my Sunglasses were not in my possession. So I quickly called up my friend to call Lupa as I was on my way home.My friend called the restaurant and spoke to the waitress who confirmed that the sunglasses was not at the restaurant and she had just cleaned the table soon after we left.I drove back to the restaurant and requested to see the CCTV footage and the manager on duty refused to let me see the footage of our table but said (from her paper notes) that we ate and this time and I put the sunglasses in my bag as per the camera. She also said that her waiter would not steal anything.The sunglasses being a pair of Prada Ones is very dear to me and so i insisted to see the footage.I also asked the Manager to check the camera again if she wouldnt let me too because I definitely dont have the sunglasses.A few minutes later the Waiter arrived saying that she thinks she threw the sunglasses in the bin and shortly afterwards the Manager on duty arrived with the sunglasses served on a plate.The story doesnt end here.A few days after, my friend and I were at a nearby restaurant enjoying some time together when we were rudely approached by a gentlemen who advised us that he was one of the owners at Lupa and Lupa was taking legal action against us for posting accusations on the google platform.He didnt apologise for the inconveniences caused by Lupa and personally we felt infringed being approached by a stranger but moreover a person who claims to be an Owner but hadnt responded to our review with an apology or constructive feedback.

We went here looking for a nice relaxing evening on our honeymoon, and we got way more than we could have hoped for.Our waitress for the evening was Cindy. The food and overall atmosphere was very good, but the service we received was truly spectacular. We spoke with her whenever she had a moment free.I very rarely tip more than 10% but tonight we tipped more than the total bill.We came looking for dinner and we left feeling like family.We could tell the other staff were unhappy that we stayed a little later than usual talking, but for what it's worth she has earned Lupa a customer for life.Cindy is a gem. Thank you for the amazing evening.

The layout is nice and relaxed atmosphere however the food was missing something. Compared to the Florida road branch, the fish seemed a bit smaller and the steak had a weird after taste. The pizza was OK. Presentation was good and service was good as well. Drinks were fantastic.

Worst pizza ever. Soggy crust. Ingredients on the pizza old. Pastas ingredients not fresh either . Would not recommend the pizza or pasta. If you're expecting food food here, rethink your choice in Ballito!
