A Durban chef has been labelled a good Samaritan for pulling a woman out of the fire that engulfed Delphi Greek Taverna on Thursday.

The restaurant and a shop situated on Lilian Ngoyi Road were destroyed by the fire. Brent Lindeque, the founder and editor-in-charge at Good Things Guy, said: "We need to find a hero." Lindeque said that as flames tore through the restaurant, an unknown man saw a family in trouble and did something extraordinary.

“He took off his shirt, poured water over himself and ran into a burning building to rescue a woman trapped inside. And then, once she was safe, he just disappeared,” Lindeque said.

The man has been identified as a local chef from the Windermere Road vicinity. Officials said no injuries were reported, and no persons were found inside the building after the fire was extinguished. Firefighters rescued two dogs and a parrot.

Cool story about the rescue, very sad that the restraunt is gone, it was really good.

Great food, however it was very cramped and in hindsight, something like this was always a distinct possibility.
