Lunch Our waiter, Passmore, was a very good host. The meals were tasty. Don't expect fancy plating, the emphasis is on the authenticity of the meal. The prawn curry was very tasty, but very mild. I would like to go back for the chicken.

Best experience I have had for many years. Great atmosphere, and the owner Jorge is on top of everything. The waiters are well trained and polite. Clean and a very special place. The menu is vast, but every dish is brilliant. The pricing is very reasonable, and the food is out of this world. 100% recommendable. This is our favorite restaurant, and we go their often now. In my opinion, one of the best restaurants in SA

We had a lovely dinner - a great welcoming atmosphere - the food was freshly made and so comforting on a cold winters night . Our waitress was lovely and attentive. We left with very happy tummy’s ( don’t skip the desserts ) Can’t wait to return
