    The best thus far. Keep it up. Was very impressed to see Mr Naidoo's son being part of the Team.

    There were many issues and miscommunication regarding booking and payments. I did not get the invoice when making a booking, I had to do the calculations. I was not informed of when to pay the outstanding amount I had to ask myself which I was supposed to pay 48 hours before the day. I did email POP before arrival, however there were still issues after eating, waiter said we had an outstanding amount to pay. I think in future it better to make an invoice with all the details and when to pay.

    Food had no taste to it, upon arrival the waiter did not say we had to pay for drinks, also did not say anything about there being no seafood on a Sunday, it's 100% not worth the money, I wouldn't recommend anybody go there, the sauces all was made from a packet, the steak was chewy, everything was just tasteless, worst experience I've ever had.

    The paella was salty and there were was a long queue for the prawns.My personal opinion is it was a mediocre menu but quite expensive.
