Dollywood Diner Media Launch

Last week Thursday, friends, family and the media came together to celebrate the official opening of Dollywood Diner, the authentic South African eatery in the heart of The Point Water Front in Durban. The evening was unspoiled, as we gathered in the airy courtyard, guests reminisced on the good old days of genuine food, tight friendships and soulful merriment.

We were introduced to Dollywood's festive live entertainment by owner Calvin Jacobs, who serenaded his guests to the sounds of Frank Sinatra and Elton John, with his singing skills. We were all reminded about the hardships of our forefathers and the importance of their guidance as we move through our lives.

We all had an opportunity to be charmed by Calvin's mom Rhoda and auntie Patsy who prepared the most delicious snacks for starters, while Jenny cooked up a storm in the kitchen preparing the all time favourites specials. Calvin's wife Chantel together with son Tazlo and daughter Tamzin were perfect hosts for the evening, the duo siblings even sang some gorgeous tunes to entertain the guests.

The evening was a feast of marvellous friendships, amazing entertainment and magnificent food. Dollywood is a great place to meet with friends over a bunny chow or a genuine curry and roti and some ice cold refreshments. It is the perfect stop on the way to or from the beach.

You will find Dollywood at 11 Browns Road at the Point Waterfront in Durban. They are open from Monday to Friday from 8am-8pm and Saturday and Sunday 8am-5pm.
