We had the most delicious platter of traditional Ethiopian dishes including tibs and injera this evening. Talented chef, Mahalet Talahun is the lady behind this awesome food and owner Alazar is an extremely gracious host. Freedom Cafés coffee is, to me, the best in Durban. Very chilled vibe in a hidden gem in Greyville.

The service is good, the food is out of this world and the tranquil setting is very peaceful. Also very private establishment. Cocktail menu is available and clean toilets. Conference facilities are available as well as rooms at the adjacent Concierge Hotel.

Beautiful set up nesting under a massive tree. One feels this closeness with nature as you sip on your morning cappuccino and take a bite of your freshly prepared breakfast. The staff are very friendly and professional. The menu is uniquely put together taking into consideration the modern individual with a need to eat healthier food. Fresh vegetable juices are prepared as you wait. Certainly one of my favourite cafés in Durban. There are high bar chairs inside as well as outside relaxed seating. Ample safe secure parking and a play area for smaller children.
