Had a great evening at the restaurant, Freddy & his staff were on point and made sure we had an enjoyable evening. We were the last patrons to leave on the eveing. Had the jalapeno poppers as starters and the 1kg giant prawns as a main. Wow! Loved the prawns, we ordered them medium so had that slight kick but could also taste the lemon butter coming through the devine sauce.Drinks- 4starsFood - 5 stars Service- 4 starsKeep up the great work, will definitely visit the establishment when we visit Ballito again.Hi Zubz1515,What a lovely review! Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with this feedback, something I will be sure to pass onto the managers and kitchen staff as they will be so thrilled to hear! We hope to welcome you back to Ballito and our little escape again soon!

Weâre not usually big fans of hotel restaurants but Ocean Terrace is listed at #7 on Tripadvisorâs list of 114 restaurants in Umhlanga. It had to be worth a try, not least as we were staying at the Oyster Box Hotel where itâs located. Not least as, in addition to their fairly extensive menu, they also have a curry buffet. Now, these can be tricky. Buffets are rarely top quality food but South Asian food seems to stand up to it better than some other cuisines. Here, itâs done very well.The buffet was lacking starters so it was straight in to the main courses. There were about 10 dishes on offer â a good mix of vegetarian and non-veggie. Between the two of us, we managed to sample most of them â yes, one of us went back for extensive seconds having already had extensive firsts. Stand-outs were the âtraditional Durban lamb curryâ (tender meat, well rounded sauce), a butter bean curry, mixed vegetable curry (veg still retaining a little bite â not always a given with Asian food) and daal (a good chilli kick here)There was a vast range of things to go with your curries â raitas, pickles, chutneys. And several bowls of dried fruit â apricots, raisins , etc â which were very reminiscent of Indian meals in the UK when folk started to eat it back in the 1970s. But the retro touch was nice. Rice, not pilau and palin boiled, was good with fluffy separate grains. And thereâs chapattis and poppadums â the latter a bit greasy and not quite crisp enough.The buffet includes a pick from the three dessert items available. There was alovely almond kulfi and, served warm, a vermicelli pudding. I think the latter is a South African spin on the usually cold falooda. Good dinner!.

Service was not too great as we had two waitrons and a manager serve us so we werenât sure who was helping us all along. The prego steak roll was awful - it was a thin thin slice of dull bland steak served in a sauce soaked roll which made it soggy to the tough. We sent it straight back. The peri peri chicken and grilled veg was divine though!Their cocktail jars were tasty - we ordered three in total but they were different across the board in taste. The two green drinks (I think it was called a green mamba or green sting) had too much alcohol in the one drink, and not enough in the other - bar needs to make sure their measurements are correct.I would definitely go back though!Hi Micfranmf, Thank you for this very balanced and well-written review. I am sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience at our store. This is not how we want our customers to experience their time with us. Please will you forward me your contact details so that I may be in touch with you with regards to your trip to Mozambik? My email address is [email protected] regards,Fern
