"We had great time and service is spectacular"
Lindokuhle Dlomo
"(06/06/2025) as soon as we walked in the hostess with the worst attitude told us there’s no space the seats are all reserved, but when we proceeded to walk in a lot of seats were empty, we almost walked out because she claimed we had to pay R5k for the VIP area!! The manager had to intervene and helped us sit in. The food was great, great atmosphere. The tall hostess by the entrance needs proper training!!"

"First time in Florida road and We visited Cubana Durban and really enjoyed the overall vibe—it’s lively, energetic, and a great place to unwind. The place was quite busy when we arrived, so we had to wait at the bar before being seated, but once we got our table, the service was consistently excellent.
The staff was friendly, attentive, and patient with us even as we got a bit restless waiting to eat. What really stood out was how hands-on the manager was—checking in a few times to make sure we were okay and enjoying our meal. We really appreciated that.
We were honest about our calamari being overly fried and mentioned that we don’t like sauces (especially spicy ones), but unfortunately, the dish came with spicy sauce that my sister couldn’t eat. It would be great if they were a bit more mindful of special requests like that.
On the bright side, we were treated to complimentary chicken strips and they were absolutely delicious. Definitely a must-try.
Despite the crowd, we were served by at least four different team members, all working together to ensure we were happy. Some even cleared plates and glasses while passing by, keeping the table neat and tidy without us needing to ask.
Overall, we had a lovely time and truly appreciated the service and energy of the place. Just a few tweaks on the kitchen side, and it would’ve been perfect. We’d happily go back when we are back in the city."

The Best Nightclubs In Durban South Africa
Situated on Durban’s popular Florida Road, Cubaña provides you with an “all-inclusive nightlife experience”. There is a lounge area for early birds who want to enjoy a meal and a cocktail or two. As the night progresses, you can hit the dance floor, where a live DJ plays local genres, such as gqom (a type of electronic music) and kwaito (similar to house), and international hits.
A Guide to South African Lituations
Florida Road offers options for most tastes, so depending upon your mood, you have a choice of the laid-back and sophisticated or the loud and proud party vibes at venues that stay open until the early hours of the morning. While we were there on a Sunday night, a supposed “quiet” night for Cubana, the spot was far from quiet. In last two hours before closing, the restaurant started to resemble a club, with house music bumping by a local dj and people bouncing from table to table with drinks and laughter.
Nightclubs In Durban You Should Visit For A Great Night Out
The Latino-themed bar and restaurant is more than just the perfect spot to paint the town red at night, but is also the ideal place to visit for a delicious lunch or breakfast.

Cubaña is more than just one of the best nightclubs in Durban, but also a feeling that you’ll instantly sense the minute you step foot inside the incompatible venue.
