My lovely wife and I have been to the Fire Room before and loved it. On this occasion we were seated upstairs and ordered 2 starters to share. They came within a few minutes and were great. We then ordered sushi for our main course - and waited - and waited despite chasing up on the order. After nearly an hour we had to cancel the order as we were now running late for a show. The bill and our sushi arrived at the same time! The manager on duty suggested they would keep our sushi until after the show or we could have our starters and wine on the house. We refused both offers and quickly paid for the wine and starters. The manager on duty saved the day by handling the situation so very well. We will be back!

Yume at Dainfern is a more upmarket restaurant compared to the stores you may be familiar with. They serve the usual arrangement of sushi and assorted hot starters (prawn tempura is a favourite) and mains (Sticky ribs and the asian steak is popular).Service is of a good standard and the food does not disappoint. Portions are reasonable and not badly priced.The restaurant has an outside area that is good for a hot summer's evening.

Thava Indian Restaurant has its roots in Kerala, India. Affectionately known as God's own country, owner Mathew Abraham's origins in this picturesque part of the world inspired the warm, inviting atmosphere, friendly service and outstanding food. Thava re

One will wish for a bigger appetite to taste all the dishes on offer.Thava Indian Restaurant at Montecasino has been open for just 2 months. I look for new Indian restaurants to find something authentic and close to the home cooking flavours we are familiar with while offering that extra something special that we canât easily reproduce at home.Montecasino isnât my favourite venue in terms of ambience â being a casino it has an artificial daylight glow and the pall of stale air. However, it does have some fine restaurants, a good theatre which I attend often and a reasonably priced cinema complex for those of us not attached to the kerching of slot machines or the rumble of the roulette ball. It has lots of safe parking for a flat fee of R10 and for many South Africans fearful of security and accustomed to malls itâs a haven. Thava has taken the place of The Raj which was a good restaurant when I first visited but seemed to have gone downhill with a change of management and has finally shut up shop. Vibin, the restaurant manager at Thava believes they may have stretched themselves by opening up too many outlet. Thava, has only 3 restaurants in the country â Thava Norwood in Johannesburg to which they have added Thava Ionic Venue catering specifically for private parties and functions, Thava Ballito in Durban, and now the newly opened Thava Montecasino in Fourways, Johannesburg - but they are of the highest standard. Like the owner, Vibin the restaurant manager, is from Kerala in the south of India. Kerala is not only the most literate of the states in India but it is home to Indians from a number of different religious and ethnic backgrounds and offers a variety of flavours and styles of cooking including a wide selection of vegetarian dishes that are more exciting that the usual potato, lentils and paneer that one gets in North Indian curry houses. The chefs are hired from India and are experts in their varying styles of cooking. Apart from the dishes on the a la carte menu, there is a Special Menu of The Month offering a taste of something a little different and which may end up being incorporated in the main menu depending on its popularity. To accompany my food order, I chose a very nice Nederburg Riesling with a Platters 2017 Winery of The Year badge. Its light, off-dry and fruity flavour went well with the spicy food to follow. A very pleasant drink even on its own.I began with a Pani Poori/Puri selected from a list of popular Indian street food. This type of street food is rarely found in the North Indian restaurants that are more common here but I am familiar with this cuisine from my days eating out on the Euston Road in London and am very glad to see them on the menu here. .I was served 4 crisply fried hollow dough balls filled with a spicy, sweet and tangy mixture of avocado, onions, carrots and other bits and bobs. Alongside the puri is a small dish of spiced, sweet and sour tamarind water (the pani) which one spoons into the opening of the puri before popping into oneâs mouth to experience a burst of flavour. Alas it is not featured on their online menu and I canât remember the exact ingredients but it was light and heavenly. I wanted to try more of the street food like the Bhel Puri but decided I needed to leave space for the main. However, the option to just go for a tapas-style smorgasbord is very tempting and something to consider for the future with friends.From the special monthly menu, I chose the Thava Lamb Rahara, a dish I had not come across before. It consisted of cubes of lamb mixed with lamb mince and peas and spiced with ginger/garlic, coriander and green chilli. It is served with plain steamed basmati rice and I ordered a butter naan on the side. Different and delicious, the peas adding a pleasant pop of sweetness to the slightly tangy sauce. The butter naan from the tandoor was thin, soft and elastic and glistening with melting butter/ghee. I savoured a little of this dish and took the rest home to make room for dessert. I was delighted to see traditional Indian desserts on the menu like Payasum (vermicelli cooked with cream, raisins and almonds) and sooji (a buttery semolina pudding, here served unusually with strawberry coulis and vanilla ice-cream) alongside the usual kulfi (cardamom flavoured ice-cream) and the syrupy sweet gulab jamun. I ordered a masala chai (a milky sweet spiced tea) and the payasum which is usually served at Indian weddings with a slightly thicker cumin flavoured pappadum to use as a scoop and which adds a nice, crunchy texture to the dish. Here, it does not come automatically with a pappadum but the dish was fragrant, silky and heart-warming. One can request pappadums, the manager told me, but they usually only serve what they make themselves in the kitchen and the pappadums are ordered in from an external source.This is a restaurant I am looking forward to revisiting, if not alone, then with family and friends. I highly recommend it. Prices are a little above average. Starter R60, Main R155, Butter Naan R22, Dessert R40, Masala tea R26, and wine R120
