I am an Adega fan but was sorely disappointed. Had the prawn special and found that it was prepared in the same sauce as other locations but the prawns were not grilled resulting in a soupy prawn dish.

Had malva desert, a personal favorite, and I am sure it was fresh two days before serving. The malva was like eating a piece of toast. I had to send it back.

Oh, there were only a handful of people but the staff were more focused on their conversation than looking after the guests.

My advice, drive to Alberton for great Adega prawns and service.

I have been a avid supporter for many years. Just had the king prawn special (R99) - it is the best prawns in SA, and at an unbeatable price.

What more can you ask for.

Food was good but the service was VERY BAD. Asked for cheese; got chilli. The waiter was impatient, rude, served us with a scowl on his face as if we were a mere irritation to him. That spoiled our dinner for me and my family. Which is a pity because although the restaurant is expensive the food was really very good. When we finally got what we asked for.

Ohh we had a lovely meal. I ordered their oxtail and my partner ordered the King prawns, we were not disappointed at all. The food was divine. The oxtail was cooked to perfection succulent and tender, quite tasty. Ohhh the King Prawns were well flavored, coupled with the sauce ohhh yumminess all the way

We felt like Prawns so where did we choose? Of course we went to Adega.
We shared a kilo of king prawns and they were fit for a king!
