Diwali Savoury Boxes in Durban
Handmade samoosas, spring rolls and more, packed into Diwali savoury boxes in different sizes. Made in Durban by Eastern Essence. Order on WhatsApp.
Savouries for Diwali, packed and ready to give
Diwali tables fill up with sweets. A savoury box gives the other half: crisp, hot-from-the-kitchen favourites like samoosas and spring rolls, handmade by Eastern Essence in Durban from traditional recipes. Keep a box for your own table, or give one to someone who will be glad of something that is not sweet.
Our Diwali savoury boxes come in different sizes. To find out the sizes and what we can put together for your date, contact us on WhatsApp.
Samoosas, spring rolls and more
Savoury boxes are filled from our handmade savoury range. Message us to find out what we can put in yours.
Samoosas
The Diwali favourite. Our samoosas are made by hand, and they are the heart of a savoury box. Ask us which samoosas we can include for your date.
Ask about samoosasSpring rolls
Crisp spring rolls sit alongside the samoosas for a box with more variety. Good to serve with tea, or to bring to a Diwali gathering.

Contact us for sizesWho a Diwali savoury box is for
Sharing food is part of how Diwali is celebrated, and a savoury box makes it easy to share with several people at once.
Your own Diwali table
Order a box so there is plenty of savoury food on the table for visitors, without spending the day in the kitchen.
Family, friends and neighbours
A savoury box is a thoughtful Diwali gift, especially for people who will already be given plenty of sweets.
Colleagues and clients
Businesses order Diwali gifts for staff and clients. Send us the number of boxes and the date, and we will let you know what we can do.
