    Jeera Restaurant in Durban

    High Tea at Jeera sounded fun, so three friends and I donned our party best and headed down to the Durban beachfront. Awaiting us was a table as pretty as a picture. White linen, roses in burnished bronze vases, crystal candle holders, a dinky glass teapot at each place, bowls of raspberries and strawberries, and flutes of Bombay Crush created an exotic ambience reminiscent of the days of the Raj. A spicy fragrance surrounded platters of savouries, among them chicken tandoori satay, shish kebabs, butter chicken “cigars” and dips that added bite. On cake stands, jewel-like fruit tartlets, coffee profiteroles,…

Food is art, and no one knows this better than these international foodie Instagrammers. @imstillhungry_ Prepare to be very hungry and very jealous.
