Giorgio's at The View

Reviewed By Pcraviolatti - Pretoria, South Africa

The venue is very nice. Service is also very good. They can make a great Irish coffee (best in the continent!).
But the pizzas are a disappointment. The dough is not the right for the pizza: it is more like a flat bread that becomes quite crispy and hard once baked. They really need to look into the dough before we can give a better review.

Reviewed By SharksSupporter1 - Durban

Whilst in 'Toti to visit friends after many years away we decided to try and go to all the restaurants we used to visit. RJ's is a typical franchise restaurant serving good steaks with cold drinks. Thoroughly enjoyed visiting there again.

Ocean Basket

Reviewed By tracey n - Poole, United Kingdom

The worst sushi I have ever eaten, dry & tasteless. Even worse since the revamp the lovely sea views are now obscured by plastic playground equipment! Seems the mall management spent a fortune extending with floor to ceiling glass only to plonk a kids playground in it. What a waste of money & effort!
Why sit in uncomfortable stick chairs to eat dry sushi & watch other people's kids play noisily? This is taking family friendly too far & I will take my business elsewhere to the non franchise restaurants that deserve my support.

Reviewed By delaine c - Durban, South Africa

Being vegetarian puts you in a different league at Spur. The offerings are not that great or wide ranging. I usually settle for a salad or crumbed mushrooms. I opted for the veggie burger which was simply acceptable. Nothing to write home about or to...MoreDear delaine c, Thank you so much for taking the time to send us your feedback. So happy to hear that Neo provided you with such excellent service! We look forward having you back again, soon. Kind regards, Spur Family

Reviewed By Tanners2521

It is a great place for catching up with friends or getting together with family for a cup of coffee, breakfast or lunch. We enjoyed our time there. I tried the butter chicken with roti and I found it is a bit too plain for me and the roti is a bit too dry.

Circus Circus

Reviewed By David J

We didn’t give much thought to where we went and strolled in by chance really. What a delight !
The service was incredible !! Our waitress was divine and prompt (Chantelle) we will be back largely due to her.
The food itself was unreal. I’m not sure why anyone eats anywhere else In this center !
We had a Cous Cous salad and a Club Sandwich both were incredibly well presented and packed with flavor. Other menu items served around us looked equally impressive. We have to come back to explore the menu more !
Have to try anything on their menu if you close by or a bit of a drive away.

An authentic pub/restaurant with a very nice view of the beach especially when you sit in the top deck. It is situated right on the beach.
The food was absolutely great! Huge portions and it’s not priced badly at all. Great food with a great vibe.

Nando's

Experience a truly South African dining experience at Nando's in Amanzimtoti. Our flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken restaurants are world famous for their succulent, grilled to perfection, butterfly-cut chickens. Add spice to your life with a meal from our Portuguese style menu. We've set the eating experience on fire and we can't wait for you to join our table because if there's one thing we love as much as PERi-PERi, it's lots of people to enjoy it with!

Reviewed By Linda F - Doonside, South Africa

We eat regularly at Nando's on a Friday evening - sometimes takeaway and sometimes sit down. The chicken is always cooked well, and the sides are great - especially the spicy rice. Unfortunately they do not offer corn on the cob in the South Africa as the UK Nando's do - how about it Nando"s> Good food, and healthy.
