Mama Lisa — Restaurant in Emalahleni Local Municipality

Good day.

This review is a little over due, but here it is. Myself and my wife whet to the restaurant, I made reservations for a table for two and asked them to dress he table with flower. They exceeded my wildest expectations with the flowers and just added the price of them on to my bill. The friendly waiter knew the menu well and had outstanding restaurant and plating ethics and a stainless attitude. Well done to MrSethabiso Nelwandwe (the waiter for the outstanding service. We placed out order, I had a medium done fillet with a pepper crust, my wife had a plain filled also medium done. The Chefs Mr Leon Coetzee and Mr Mike Malinga prepared the side excellent, but the steak was undercooked in the centre to a point that it was completely raw, I left it cut open and I hope they noticed. Over all this restaurant is the place to be and with an elegant atmosphere, good taste and attention to detail they won me over. Well done Mama Lisa and staff, I will see you again and hopefully then we would rectify the review on the...

Your setup I have to give 100% 😍

Food you still have a long road to compete with the other place I've been to. I ordered your sir loin and prawns, the meat was good 🤔 but as for the prawns please change the way they are cooked they smell as though they are burnt the smell takes away the excitement of eating them maybe try cooking them in a pan instead of cooking them in open fire.

Invite us again once there is a new strategy of cooking the prawns.

Your chips where so crispy showing that if left 1 more minute they'd be burnt. 😭

Please also get bigger cocktail glasses. When we order cocktail presentation should sweep us off...

We tried the breakfast buffet. The service was great, friendly waitress. The food was ok. Very limited vegetarian choices and it must be mentioned that beverages are not part of the buffet price. We might have considered going again but the music was so loud - we had to ask the waitress to repeat herself many times. We asked that the sound be reduced twice, which it was. And increased again almost immediately. Perhaps they are catering for a younger clientele that prefers loud music at 09:00? A pity. I looked at the menu and they had a decent lunch/supper variety. But the music...... no....
