The Spice Emporium Durban

What a wonderful experience, spices galore, incredible aroma's, festive colors and a taste experience!

Great service from the lady on the floor... helped me locate everything i needed in minutes... would've taken like 4 times longer on my own. I'm going there for my spices the next time round.PRICES ARE LOWEST IN TOWN.

One of the City Centres hidden gems. A wide array of spices that is enough to spice up more than your life. Delectable tantalising treats for sweet and spicy and sour.Imported tasty pickles, freshest powdered spices, every conceivable spice anyone would ever need to conjure up the most amazing Indian DishesSee secure parking adjacent to the store. Convenient as well.

A huge store with everything you'll need for cooking! Wide variety, spacious... A pleasant shopping experience. The Chaat Bar is also a must try - delicious veg snacks and meals.

The safer alternative than driving to town to the Indian market. The area is safer and the parking is closer. Variety of spices. You can purchase the prepackaged spice or buy the amount you choose at the counter.The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable in their spices.Spices come in different prices and cannot be mixed. You purchased and mixed yourself at home if you choose to do that however most spices are for specific dishes and do are already mixed. There's a great variety for each taste from mild to strong. Food coloring and all other spices area available.Percy Martin

Worst experience ever. I order online and have everything delivered to me. My order came in a damaged food box. Once I ordered all items were in stock. As i opened up my order I noticed that something was missing, order two packs of chilli powder and only received one. Reason for ordering two was one for me and the other for my parents. Send a mail got back a quick response (was impressed with that) the they tell me that they didn't have stock and decided to give my a different size than the once I ordered but only received 1 and not two. The 1 pack is cheaper than what I paid for the two separate packs. Spice emporium did not informed me at all or asked if they can change my order they did this without my knowledge or go ahead. Now they are refusing to refund me the difference or deliver and ekstra pack of chilli powder. They just stopped answering my emails and is now ignoring me. Most unethical experience I ever had on order anything online. You can not decided to give a customer something els that is cheaper than what the customer paid for without informing the customer and refuse to refund them for the difference. Its not the customers fault that you are out of stock. The product was in stock upon ordering. Will never order again form this place and will make sure that I can inform everyone I can about my experience so that they can purchase at a different place that will not do the customer in at all.

Always visit the shop when I'm at Durban, enjoy their raisins and mixed pickles

Awesome selection of spices, ingredients, ready-made spice-mixes and snack foods. Also has a great cafe inside which serves some of the tastiest chaat in the city. Definitely worth a visit even if it's just for a quick snack. Would recommend the pav bhaaji and Bombay crush.

Great place for a vegetarian meal, try the Dahi bateta puri (pictured). I also bought some incense with a wonderful carved wooden stand all great value for money. I'll definitely visit again #zulubabetravels

The iconic Spice Emporium in central Durban has for decades provided good quality spices from India. Now they also bring to us a taste of North Indian “street food”. Not to be seen in a derogatory manner, street food culture of India is vast, popular and delicious. Quick, simple, made fresh and hot the items on sale will tantalise your taste buds and satisfy your hunger. Highly recommended to both Durban locals and travelers – it is a taste of India right here in Durban.
