Ocean Basket Killarney — Restaurant in Gauteng

Had dinner Tuesday evening 24 January 2023. Service was outstanding. On doing take-out when passing Ocean Basket Killarney on Sunday chef Waheed explained that he would prepare a 200 Salmon fillet with skin on when delivered Tuesday. He called me 11 am Tuesday to confirm details. I also provided my meal preparation and preferences:-

I love the tart lemon-garlic-butter sauce usually only served with mussels. I asked for that sauce with the salmon.

Salmon was to be done with skin side seared, then baked / grilled medium.

Stir-fried veg.

I was served sauce separately in a pan with 2x oysters as starter. Umami contrast was superb, subtler oyster delicacy surrounded under tartly peppered lemon-garlic-butter sauce was an exquisite appetizer. Attention to detail requested was outstanding!!

Main course salmon was done as requested. The crispy salmon skin, heat-bubbled base was a refreshing delight to which I added lemon-garlic-butter sauce and fronds of stir-fried veg.

Service was excellent, most superb. I shall visit again surely. My favourite fish is hake, skin-on and hopefully they will do the same for me...

#NearDeathByFishBurger! I strongly advise against ordering from Ocean Basket Killarney. Last weekend, we purchased burgers from this establishment and experienced severe health complications within 15 minutes of eating. Both of us became violently ill, requiring an emergency trip to the hospital. Our oxygen levels dropped to 80%, our blood pressure skyrocketed, and we suffered uncontrollable vomiting.

This level of illness raises serious concerns—was it food poisoning, contamination, or were we DRUGGED or perhaps something worse? The experience was terrifying, and we’re left questioning the safety standards at Ocean Basket Killarney.

For the sake of your health and safety, think twice before dining here. This is not something anyone should ever have to...

I recently planned an event at Ocean Basket Killarney Mall with the help of Manager Rasheed, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! Rasheed was incredibly professional, attentive, and hands-on throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and genuine care made the planning seamless and the event truly special. The staff were equally amazing — friendly, helpful, and always ready with a smile. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was perfect for our function. I can’t recommend Ocean Basket Killarney Mall enough for any event or gathering. If you're looking for a place with great food, a welcoming environment, and outstanding management, this is the spot! A huge thank you to Rasheed and the entire team for making it such a...
