The goats cheese salad is the best thing Ive ever eaten. They serve decent sized portions of starters , if youre a light eater , a starter is enough, their mains are also quite nicely sized. You do get your moneys worth . The vibe was great , its relatuvely sound proof, which is great because the road outside can be so noisy . The staff were exceptionally friendly, the atmosphere is great too.

Went in Aug 2021 and had King Klip and sushi and they were excellent. We were traveling from the USA and went there based on recommendations. This place didnt disappoint. Nice ambience, good views. Good COVID protocols.

Had such a lovely experience at Paranga, the food was divine, the service excellent and the view, absolutely breathtaking.Tried out their new mocktail- and it was so refreshing. Brenton our waiter was such a great sport and recommended the most amazing fried squidhead for starters......best Ive ever had really.. That aioli sauce was everything..... Definitely plan on coming back.

Was hosted here for a dinner during a media event. Had a three course meal and the starter tempura prawn was excellent. Nice burst of chilli, the mains were cooked perfectly and dessert was slightly too sweet for me. Nevertheless wonderful meal. Try the tempura prawns!

My wife and I went to celebrate her birthday and had the most wonderful experience.We had Sushi to start, which was amazing, the Sirloin, Grilled Chicken for mains as well as Rocky Road for dessert. From the welcome at the door to the moment we paid, the overall experience and atmosphere is unbelievable and definitely worth every penny!

We had a great experience here. Arrived without a booking, the staff went out of the way to set us up at great table in view of the sunset.The seafood platter we ordered tasted delicious, and even though pricing is a bit high, it was definately worth it.Will definately be back on my next trip!

Review №26

Their meals are too expensive and Greek salad as a starter is not being creative for the price their offering. They play live bands and there is a small area to dance.

Review №27

Not at all what we expected. The fries tasted like they were made from a frozen bag purchased in the supermarket and they charged us 600 rands for 5 langostines (the menu stated market price but I believe they noticed we were tourists and overcharged us). The only nice thing is the view.

Love this place and possibly 3 stars is a bit harsh.It really is great food and excellent service. I usually make a stop here as I did today for my seafood.Ordered my favourite seafood platter among many other items on the menu. My waiter was very professional as he informed me that it is made to order and may take a while (as good food should).Was extremely disappointed that my sea bass had bones in the fillet. It is dangerous because people would expect better from this establishment (also given the time to make fresh food to order).My waiter was also professional enough to explain it was pre-ordered from a 3rd party. That is not an excuse for the chef and it shouldnt have to be.In summary, I do not mind paying a premium for excellent service. It is why I go here.You can do better guys!

Used to be my favorite haunt: Reinvigorating sunrises and delicious sunsets.Five years later, it has the best Sea Bass I have ever had in my life. Couple that with the Molten Chocolate dessert and I am ready to say Paranga is special again.

High quality sushi and great ambiance. Not much more you can ask for! The specialty rolls all came with adequate seasoning (sauce, scallion, Sesame seeds, spicy mayo, etc) to the point that the sushi didnt need Wasabi, soy sauce or anything else!

Food was excellent, the Manager on duty on day of booking agreed to us bringing our own cake to celebrate a birthday party for no charge, yet on day of thr party a different manager refused to honor the agreement, made our experience soured. Rude and lacked customer service, have been coming here for 15 years, ssd to state he has successfully chased away my business may I add he was arguing about a R400 charge whilst the table spent close to R10k on the night.

Value for money not good, you pay for something you can get at a sub par restaurant for a third of the price! Not a fine dining experience at all. Even though the price suggests a michelin star!View is good, nice interior and good service.

Review №55

I use to love this birthplace of the Kove group, yet it seems like they are dropping the ball. Probably one of the most expensive restaurants and for that you expect the best. We were a whole group with a massive bill and very dry chicken, bad wifi and what I do appreciate is when a restaurant doesn’t have your choice of wine that at least they allow for you to bring your own and charge corkage. Needless to say they don’t allow for that but rather try to push more bottles on you, chasing the buck instead of customer experience & service

Review №58

Great food, views and drinks but I hated the way I was treated by the waiters and waitresses. When I arrived at the restaurant my battery was dead and when I asked a hostess/waitress if she could charge my phone for me she started sizing me down, she was extremely hesitant and said we should ask the waiter/waitress were gonna be allocated. When she left I decided to ask another waiter passing by and he said he is going to check if there is a spot in the charging bay for me to charge my phone - we were in the restaurant for more than two hours - , I never saw the charging bay waiter again. Finally our waitress arrives and when I ask her she says they dont charge devices (which I doubt very much, why didnt they all have the same response?) The service was horrible and I felt like I was being done a favour although Im a paying customer. Im sure people get better treatment at feeding schemes.

Paranga was amazeballs as always, theyve never disappointed in the few times Ive gone. The ambience is 👌The waitors are dressed beautifully and comfortably to match the setting, they too are respectful and courteous. Their food is on point 👌 as we selected the prawn tempura starter and we decided to repeat it because it was just so divine 😋 Sadly we had to leave exactly at 10pm due to lockdown curfew, otherwise all was phashash at Paranga 😍💃🌻

Expensive overpriced for not very good food, Sole and kingklip overcooked, 3 scallops in a bowl of sweetcorn @ more than R100 each. Lobster tails and chips were also overcooked and in excess of R200 per piece. Frozen French fries cold and the service was not particularly friendly and overall a very underwhelming experience at exorbitant prices.

Paranga offers a great breakfast and lunch menu... the eggs Benedict with bacon and sushi options are awesome. Even some of the champagne comes with a great message ( pictured below). Oh and I hear the cappuccinos are delicious! Staff is friendly and the view of the beach is fantastic. Because of its fabulousness, you want to get there early or make reservations, it can fill up quickly. Ill definitely be back to visit.

It won’t disappoint!The establishment is a lot better looking than its rivals alongside it.The service was the stand out, our waiter was exceptional. 6 star!Fillet on the bone was cooked to perfection and the pepper sauce phenomenal.Pricing is what you’d expect, not cheap but it was worth what we paid and enjoyable overall.The views are unreal too and overall somewhere anyone not sure where to eat here will look back on favourably.

Unmarket restaurant which is reflected in the pricing. Food not bad pricing but wine is more expensive than regular prices. Reasonable selection of standard dishes with some more exotic dishes which may or may not be to your choice. Nice clean restaurant with friendly staff.

Review №93

Very disappointing meal. The look and vibe of the restaurant was exactly what we were looking for, but the food was disappointing, and therefore over-priced for what you actually get. If you dont eat fish, you are very limited for a starter option, and no vegan option. Overall, the menu promised more than it delivered. The steak that one of us ordered was very small and completely over-cooked (it was ordered medium). Food lacked taste and presentation was average.The service wasnt brilliant either - food came quickly enough, but the waiters passed you your plate instead of putting it down, and we had to ask for the table to be cleared - not what youd expect at a more classy, expensive restaurant. Despite booking almost 2 weeks in advance, and dining at 6h30pm, they would not give us the table we requested, despite it not being busy at that time. On the drinks side, there was a wide variety available, and the cocktails were nice. The best part of the meal was probably dessert which there were no complaints. We have been to far better restaurants for similar prices - definitely not worth the money!
