Palm House invites diners on a voyage along East Africa’s Spice Route with a new culinary experience at the boutique hotel’s Palm Terrace.
Available every Tuesday evening, The Palm Terrace Spice Route menu offers a blend of flavours drawn from East Africa, the Indian Ocean Islands, and Durban’s rich Indian heritage.
Crafted by Executive Chef Gregory Henderson and available every Tuesday evening, the three-course menu is inspired by his travels to Kenya, Zanzibar, and working in the finest kitchens of Durban, learning the art of blending spices from the city’s master chefs.
- Take a table al fresco at Palm Terrace or inside within the conservatory-style room, this dining experience is a celebration of expertly balanced spices, refined technique, and culinary storytelling.
