Afro’s Chicken Shop is a Durban chicken shop with a branch at Umdloti Centre on South Beach Road, right next to the Total garage. The Umhlanga Magazine called it a “local legend” in April 2026, and it was still trading in October 2026 (confirmed locally).
Afro’s keeps its menu small. Its own site says the chips are hand-cut from real potatoes, skin on, and seasoned only with salt, and the coleslaw is made in small batches every day. It’s an easy lunch or early dinner after a morning on the sand across the road.
Its shops page gives the Umdloti branch’s hours as 08:00 to 20:00, without saying which days, and the phone number 031 020 2251. Ring ahead on Sundays and public holidays.
Seattle Coffee and Cafe Bonjour are in the same centre, with Bel Punto and Salt and Citrus upstairs.

I really wanted this to be a great experience because I had this on my list for a spot to visit while in Umdloti but sadly I was disappointed. Staff wasn’t too friendly and not on top of their game - needed to ask for the table to be cleaned before sitting down. Needed to ask for...
