Customer Reviews
Order included : Aaloo paratha, shami kebab, chicken boti, roghni naan and beef nihari.
Everything was delicious.
Shami kebab was moist, tender and flavorful.
Roghni naan is served in a striking vertical stand. Very appealing.
Nihari was spicy with medallions of beef cooked to perfection.
Special mention to the waitress for excellent service and attention to detail.
(The bathroom deserves a lot to be desired. For one there is only one toilet for the whole entire restaurant.
Floor is sticky and on the whole just really disgusting to use)

Immediately you enter the space your hit by the potent aroma of what smells like exotic spices . The staff was very polite and seem to enjoy their working environment, I ordered one of their gourmet milkshakes which was nothing short of amazing in which I could say the same for the food . Amazing spice profile , tender meat and simply cooked to perfection . I will admit we were skeptical at first as it was our first time trying Pakistan cuisine but the experience was definitely worth it . Would highly recommend, and shoutout to our waiter Thando she was phenomenal;) and Andile who was so patient and kind with us .
owami mbali
Had a pleasant dining experience during lunch on a weekday, eventhough it was quite crowded, but the service is fast, warm and friendly assistance from Andile and food was scrumptious and carefully prepared. We decided to add on food to go, and didn’t have to wait that long for the kitchen to prepare. Highly recommended.
Farah Burhanuddin
MY Diners Restaurant, located around the corner from the entertainment and games facility of The Zone@Rosebank, is a delightful dining venue for lovers of good Pakistani food. The restaurant is huge, but may appear to be a tad crowded over weekends. Love the solid, round, marble top dining tables, the comfortable chairs as well as the colourful, floral decor. The food: Chicken Biryani, Butter Chicken with Basmati rice, and Chicken Bunny was good. Loved the iron pot the biryani was served in, as well as the huge Bunny chow, drenched in gravy. Portions were exceptionally large, so go in with an appetite, or opt to share portions where you can. The takeaway of leftovers is very decently packed (self-service). Their onion and tomato sambals were brilliant, and the Masala Chai was tops. Soji desert was good, with other treat options available at the counter.
Really appreciated the attentive service from whichever waiter / waitron was available (Evelyn and Never were always at hand).
The in-house bathrooms are well equipped, and the wash basin comes in very handy if eating Indian style with one’s fingers.
Menu is strictly Halaal, and drinks appear to be only Kingsley branded.
All in all, it was a very pleasant dining experience.
Victor Rajkumar
Had a pleasant lunch experience here with my family. The food is tasty with good service. The food portions are definitely smaller when compared to the MyDiners branches in Durban. Overall, this was a good experience with good food!

Customer Reviews
Celebrated a friend’s birthday and James took great care of us, answered our many questions and gave great recommendations. Every single dish we ordered was delicious. Their mocktails are impressive and a lovely variety. Thank you. Loved that they surprised our birthday girl with layered mousse dessert topped with rainbow sprinkles a sparkler. ✨
Mpho Gumede
A truly delightful establishment, combining a charming atmosphere with exceptionally friendly service. The food was excellent — we shared a pizza and pasta, both of which were outstanding. I highly recommend trying the Spicy Teriyaki; it was the highlight of the meal.
Francesc Oliveras
Never fail to impress! Their pasta bake is a consistent winner, and the service is always top-notch. On one occasion, my meal was over-salted, but the chef and manager promptly replaced it with a fresh dish. Their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is truly appreciated. Highly recommended.
Petrus Johannes van Zyl
Molly and Lee-Anne were my servers! Enjoyed my dining experience and Mr George always have a wonderful atmosphere. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. One of my favourite places to eat out. I had their Oxtail always delicious and for starters I had Prawn dumplings! Really enjoyed the dishes.

Customer Reviews
It gets very busy. As an introvert, I found it a bit too overwhelming and was confused about where to to go.
I did, however, get to taste the BEST Cafe Latte on earth they use macadamia nut milk at no extra charge. The chocolate cake is also very rich
Mahlatse Thosago
Good place
The food was well prepared, generous portions for kinda fine dining, that was awesome.
I scored the service a 4 because it was so prompt but our server could have been a tad bit friendlier. We did feel hurried at some point.
The location and ambience is top notch
Nyasha Shingayi Adler (Nyashaà)
Visiting Marble on my last day in Joburg was the icing on the cake of my entire trip… the restaurant has such a lovely and upscale vibe. From the reception to seating to the meals, it was just surreal… the waiters were very helpful and were always on hand to assist. The meal was great, I especially enjoyed the cobb salad and the sirloin with mashed potatoes… the mood was very chill and my colleagues and I really enjoyed our time there. The only suggestion (not sure how it can be done) would be having an alternative way of getting up to the restaurant since the elevator was not that big so for a big party (like mine), it took about 3 trips to get upstairs but in all it was a great experience and I would definitely try it again
Lawrence Quartey-Owoo
Not a place i would ever usually visit. Unless a very generous person (in this case, my sister-in-law) is picking up the tab. When I saw the prices, I was not expecting them to match the product, but I have to say the food was spectacular. And I can understand why it was packed.
Stephen Kirker
Beautiful spot. The food was good but could have been better, I had the duck dish, it was a bit too salty and dry. I unfortunately didn’t enjoy it. My dessert did however, make up for the not so great main. I tried the pavlova and it was delicious. The service was good and our waiter was attentive and polite. The restaurant itself is stunning, moved over to the bar area after our meal and it was a lovely chill spot to enjoy our afternoon. I would definitely go back and try a different main meal. Overall a pleasant experience.

Customer Reviews
I truly enjoyed Mike’s heritage house.
At first I was disappointed by the fact that they don’t serve any Italian food like pasta, pizza and therefore I settled for their Sirloin Steak and it was the best steak I ever tasted, truly enjoyed every bite of it and the veggies were to die for.
The service was very efficient from our waitress and I loved the outdoor atmosphere.
We finished our day with slap chips and let me tell you this place is called heritage for a reason, they cook everything like they founded those meals therefore making these meals their heritage site to visit
I definitely recommend Mike’s heritage.
Yanga Sithethe
Beautiful day out at Mikes Heritage House for lunch. I have absolutely nothing that I can find fault. Everything was perfect , the food was so yummy, well cooked and beautifully presented. Very pleasant waiters / waitresses. The service was awesome. Will be back next month. Thank you all.
Miss Caroline
I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Mike’s Kitchen Heritage House numerous times over the years, and it’s always been a treat. The outdoor area is lovely, and the menu selection is diverse and appealing.
However, my most recent visit in late December 2024 was somewhat disappointing. Despite the restaurant not being overly busy, as me went after the lunch crowd. The service was slower than usual. My steak was also not prepared as I had requested. I want to emphasise that this experience won’t deter me from returning, as I understand that off-days can happen to anyone.
I’m sharing this in the spirit of constructive feedback, hoping that it will help Mike’s Kitchen Heritage House continue to improve and provide the excellent experience that I’ve come to expect.
I look forward to my next visit!
Nicola Subben
Had a lovely lunch with my husband. Food was delicious rib eye for me and eishbein for my husband delicious wine to enjoy. Beautiful gardens, friendly staff and even a cat so cute that is staying there and come and say hello.
Will definitely go back again when we in the area.
Elize Olivier
Mike Kitchen is an institution for a reason. Secure parking and quick service make it a great place to meet up prior to going to events as a group in the CBD, such as market theater. Tasty burgers and the signature dessert of red lollipops.

Really enjoyed supper and spending time in the games room with my son and my brother. Was a fun night with alot of options to keep us entertained at Emperors. A nostalgic moment to see a call box after ages.
Emile Michael Lee
I stay here always when I fly into S,A on business as it’s in a perfect location and more importantly it’s a great hotel with some wonderful staff that make sure all what you need throughout your stay is readily available.
The breakfast are so varied with an abundance of choice and even at lunchtime and the evening the menus are great with a good choice.
So I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone either visiting on business or pleasure as a great layover place.
shaun bedford
I had the pleasure of attending another conference at the Emperor’s Palace this week. The event was impeccably organized, with excellent food, venues, and accommodations. My hotel room was modern, spacious, and well-equipped to meet my needs. However, I did notice two notable omissions: the room lacked a fridge, which has become a standard amenity I’ve grown accustomed to in my travels, and room service is no longer available, which is a significant drawback for me.
Amanda Van Wyk
I enjoyed the service, but one thing that would make it even better is having a Capitec ATM on the casino side. Could you please look into this or let me know if there are any plans to add one? I’d appreciate your assistance in addressing this concern.

One of the best kept secrets in the south of Johannesburg. We’ve been going there for many years. Great pub to watch sport and then follow it up with a pizza. Fully recommend the calzone pizza with mexicana filling – mince, chillies, green pepper and garlic. Always order a bowl of chilli on the side.
Lots of parking with car guards.
Can’t recommend it enough
D S
Must admit I was a bit disappointed but really only with the food. Some friends brought us here for dinner and we stay 30+ minutes from here so we were expecting to be wow’d.
The restaurant looks great and authentic and had a great atmosphere. Staff were also great so the physical experience was good.
But our food was just okay. My wife and I had the cannelloni which was just bang average. Pasta too thick and a bit chewy. Meat was a bit bland.
I ordered the tirumisu (at an Italian restaurant) and it was some sort of frozen dessert which didn’t taste like tiramisu at all. Was a bizarre experience for me and my friend who had it too.
At least it was mostly well priced.
Matthew Dos Santos Serra
We go there often. It is good value for money, the food is good but nothing spectacular. The decor needs serious upgrading. It has not been updated in years. There was a large piece of paint coming off the ceiling, I was wondering when it will fall into someone’s food. It has a slightly grubby feeling. I go there with family who have been supporting it for years, and it poses as a halfway restaurant for family members. I personally would not bother to go to this restaurant if it was not for location.
Alexa Von Ruben
This is the absolute best pizza in SA.
The service is fabulous.
The prices are great.

We ate at this lovely gem two nights in a tow while we were in Johannesburg. There were four of us and we ordered different menu items each time so we could all share and try as many of the dishes as possible. Everything was delicious and we were able to sit and enjoy for two hours. The waitstaff was fantastic, very attentive and caring. I’ll definitely return.

Customer Reviews
Something was off this night, the food was mid but what made the experience worse is waiting for the food for a long time on an empty night and then the food arrives cold and mid flavors. We were there around 4/5pm and there was an all staff meeting which I believe made our food delay more. Not a great experience at all.
Sebo Caraci
Incredible experience, I treated my partner for his birthday dinner at fire room after a friend had recommended it, and I can tell you I am not disappointed, this is hands down the best sushi iv ever had! The cocktails were also incredible, we tried a couple different ones. The atmosphere had a nice mood, fire and dimmed lighting.
Courtney Sinclair
What a lovely establishment with great aesthetics, the food was also amazing, although the service was a bit slow as it was a busy day. Owners should invest in more flambé devices as waiters were “fighting” for them in front of customers
kamogelo mohlabeng
Very well-kept restaurant, more concerned with aesthetics than quality of service and food.
Menu stocked but not particularly varied, quality of appetizers good but meat not at the price level.
The real nonnt
Our server was the only downer but the food was excellent. We travelled from North America to join our extended South African family to celebrate a recent wedding and really wanted to have a good time, too bad our server was in a sour mood. With the right server and attitude this would have been an all around 5 star experience. Luck of the draw I guess.

Customer Reviews
Amazing restaurant. The food was delicious. Best escargot ever. The service was even better. Our Waitress Lerato handle the 10 of us like a champ. Food was on time, hot and yummy. Lovely experience.
Beverley Pather
Dined here now twice…once a dinner date with my husband a while ago and recently an early dinner with my daughter. Dined indoors and outdoors, tasteful decor, clean and great setup outside. Service indoor was way better than outdoor but compliments to the chefs as both times the food was very tasty.
Venetia van Zyl
The food was great,but it was too busy during that period,making the service slow and less interactive.

Delicious Portuguese cuisine.
Mozambik is a franchise that understands the magic of quality food, quality environment will consistently deliver quality experience.
This site is so much bigger than I thought. The garden area is big enough to seat smokers and non smokers with a kids play area.
The food is tasty and just what you would expect if you have been before.
Well done guys. A job worthy of an applause.

Customer Reviews
The Butter Chicken curry was… simply delicious!
Absolutely loved this tasty Indian creamy tomato dish.
The Paratha (roti) was fluffy and fresh.
The ambience was pleasant.
The staff were hospitable.
The place was clean and the seating area spacious.
The area is fairly safe – as long as you don’t flash your valuables in public areas (for example, walking down the road ).
The main purpose for visiting this Indian restaurant – with its authentic Indian ingredients and Muslim chefs – was to cure my terrible cold!
I’ve learnt from experience , over the years, that a bowl of Indian lentil curry or butter-chicken curry relieves a terrible cold!

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER FOOD HAD A STENCH ..CHICKEN VEINS WERE NOT CLEANED COMPLAINED TO THE WAITER ..BUT NO RESPONSE.
AS I WAS LEAVING THE RESTAURANT. SAW THE MANAGER AND CHATTED TO HIM .
HE JUST SAID OO
Mahomed Azhar
The food and service are acceptable and comparable to the other branches; however, the location is dreadful, as the area is a rundown, filthy part of town, and parking is the biggest challenge.
Jithin George
I’ve lost count the number of times that I have visited Dosa Hut and this is owning to the fact the food is just impeccable.
Dosa Hut is situated in the heart of Fordsburg’s busiest streets which can be intimidating. Parking can be an issue. The restaurant is rather small and can become crowded and noisy which leads to having to wait for space but it’s every bit worth it.
They specialise in all Indian cuisine with South Indian cuisine the main focus. The Dosas are a hit and a must eat along with the Thali. The food is always fresh, tasty, flavourful, spicy but not over the top (you can ask for hotter variants) and all round simply scrumptious. A must visit when you are in Johannesburg.
Keith Reddy
Great food at a great price and also good service. Recommend the masala dosa, tattu dosa, onion uttapam, masala fried fish with Kerala paratha, Butter chicken with the chilli and garlic naan, Chicken Kondattom, Onion Pakodas, South Indian special tea and also the Bombay crush. Generally, everything on the menu is of a high standard for a reasonable price.
A new recent thing I have found is to have the Andra Chicken Starter, but the portion size is huge and has a sort of gravy that makes it like a curry. It is really great value for money with you always having leftovers yet being under the starters section and priced as such as well. Lastly, it is also really really tasty and reminds me of the chicken kondattom but less spicy and with a lot less chillies. Highly recommended.
I have to note that upon my last visit, there was a new menu with some price changes. Of particular note, the mutton bunny price changed from R85 to R115. I love their bunny BUT i cannot in all honesty recommend same at that price. As a Durbanite, who has been eating bunnies all my life, I have never paid (nor should you pay) more than R100 for a quarter bunny chow.
