"It is believed that the 42-year-old male was seated at a table in the restaurant when two males approached and allegedly shot the victim twice."
The motive is not known at this stage.
It is the second deadly shooting at a restaurant in as many weeks.
Last month, a patron at the Mugg and Bean at Christians Village Shopping Mall in Hillcrest, west of Durban was shot dead inside the establishment.
