Our History
About My Diners
Our Story — How It All Began
My Diners started in 1996 as a small take‑away, celebrated for what many regarded as the best tikka in the area. What began as a humble offering quickly turned into something bigger — a passion for flavour, consistency, and friendly service. Over time, thanks to loyal customers and community support, My Diners grew into a full‑fledged family‑style restaurant serving continental and favourite local dishes.
How We’ve Grown
From that modest beginning, we expanded to multiple branches across popular malls and neighbourhoods: Northbeach, Overport, Gateway, Pavillion and Rosebank Zone Johannesburg. Each new branch was a step toward making our food accessible to more diners across Durban and surroundings.
