We have been here a couple of times over the years and the experience is very consistent. The food is good the portions are large and the venue is nice, and there isn't much more to say.

We recently visited this establishment with family to experience the curry buffet.

Upon getting there it was a good venue with beautiful themed decor that whilst is aged suits the environment . We had a superb waitress she was really a gem.

The items on the menu and the structure of system were good. My only reason for 4 star is I believe the slightly limited starter range could of been better for its premium price and when I spoke to the chefs who were present , majority of them were new and could not tell me about the ranges , experience or make suggestions on the curry etc at R500 if not mistaken per person a Chai station would be well received .

I did ask for suggestions on the meals but they were rather shy and reluctant. The variety of curries and breads were sufficient. Some of the curry ranges were unbelievable ????. Really great indeed. Bursting with flavour and enjoyable. The deserts were easy and the kulfi ice cream was superb.

The service was perfect. Friendly staff and really 5 star VIP treatment from everyone. Views are spectacular and the restaurant is stunning inside and outside. Virgin cocktails were really good. Our waiter Sifiso was excellent.

I was however very underwhelmed by the food. Maybe I had high expectations. It was bland and just seemed like it was dished from the buffett. No balance no artistry just regular food anyone could have made. Duck was a bit on the dry side. Lentils overwhelmed the entire dish, barely tasted the pea purée.

Great service and food. They go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable. They even organised a dessert for my wifes birthday. Amazing service from Sebastian. Pricey but you get what you pay for.

Honestly, for the price you're paying for the dishes it's very average tasting food. I didnt even end up finishing my food because it wasn't great. For reference, I had the salt and pepper tofu. The other dining guest had the fish platters and again, so disappointing for the price you're paying.

However, the staff were amazing and so friendly. I appreciate them going the extra mile and making sure we were all OK.
