Diwali Savoury Boxes in Ballito, in Different Sizes
Handmade samoosas, spring rolls and more, packed as a Diwali gift. Made in Durban, in boxes of different sizes.
Yes, you can order Diwali savoury boxes for Ballito from Eastern Essence, and they come in different sizes. We handmake the savouries and pack the boxes in Durban, south of Ballito. Message us on WhatsApp for the sizes, and tell us who the box is for, the date and your Ballito address.
The gift for people who already have plenty of sweets
By Diwali week most Ballito homes are full of mithai. A savoury box is a different kind of gift.
It balances the sweets
Samoosas and spring rolls give the table something that is not sugar, which many hosts are glad of by the third visitor of the day.
It stands up as a gift on its own
Not everyone wants sweets. A savoury box suits the person who would rather have a samoosa than another sweet.
It feeds visitors
A savoury box is something a host can put straight out for guests, which makes it a practical gift to bring.
It pairs with a sweet box
Give both. See Diwali sweet boxes for Ballito, or put them together in a combo box.
How to choose a size for your Ballito order
We make savoury boxes in different sizes. Tell us the situation, and we will tell you which size fits.
A gift for one household
A neighbour, a friend or a relative you are visiting. Something to hand over and share.
A family or an open house
Enough to put out for visitors across the day, or to give to a bigger household.
An office or a function
A team celebration, or a table that has to feed a crowd. For serving at scale, see bulk savouries below.
The dots only show scale. We do not publish sizes on this page yet, so contact us for the sizes and we will match one to your list.

Diwali savoury boxes in Ballito: your questions
What sizes do your Diwali savoury boxes come in?
We make our savoury boxes in different sizes. Contact us on WhatsApp on 061 353 3751 and tell us who the box is for and roughly how many people it needs to feed, and we will tell you the sizes available and help you choose.
Can I order Diwali savoury boxes for Ballito?
Yes. We are a Durban maker and Ballito customers can order from us on WhatsApp. Send your Ballito address, how many boxes you need, the size you are interested in and the date, and we will confirm how your order can reach you.
What goes in a savoury box?
Handmade savouries such as samoosas and spring rolls, along with other items from our savoury range. Message us and we will let you know what we can put in a box for your date.
Should I order a savoury box or bulk savouries?
Choose a savoury box if you are giving savouries to someone. Choose bulk savouries if you are serving them at a table, a gathering or an office celebration. If you are not sure, ask us and we will point you to the right one.
Can I give a savoury box together with a sweet box?
Yes. Many people give a savoury box alongside a sweet box, and our combo boxes put sweets and savouries in one box. Tell us what you need on WhatsApp and we will plan both around the same date.
Is it delivery or collection for Ballito?
That depends on your address, the date and how many boxes you need. Tell us on WhatsApp and we will confirm what is possible before you commit to anything.
