Just last week we visited Seelans at the V&A Waterfront.

We would like to thank you guys so much for always taking such wonderful care or us.

Since 2017 we started going to Seelan’s, the owner Mr Seelan Sundoo has always been very warm and hospitable. He never fails to make every visit a special one from the delicious food to the amazing ambiance.

The staff is always very accommodating with the right balance of friendliness and efficiency, on the ball and overall took good care of us.

All personnel were very well trained. Our waiter was absolutely superb, we could not decide on what to eat since everything sounded so yummy our waiter the chef surprised us with a mystery dish, it was a seafood platter but no ordinary platter, packed and stuffed (overflowing) with crayfish, prawns, the works!

It lacked nothing at all, all your cravings in one - a 2 meter long platter, it just put everyone in awe.

The staff is absolutely fantastic, from the manager checking up on us - giving us complimentary dessert, the chef coming to make sure everything is okay. Our waiter so polite, attentive and every attention to detail was given.

The food was amazing and arrived within minutes.

Every time you go to Seelan’s at the V&A Waterfront it’s an absolute breath of fresh air, they never fail to make you feel welcomed and at home. The view was just breath taking and the excellent service is the cherry on top of the cake.

We have never experienced such good customer service.

The food was fresh, properly prepared and a great value for the price.

With that being said, I cannot fail to mention…..

The delicious rustic bunny chows can be found at Sundoo’s, the delightful spot can be found in the Sea Point area just off the main road.

The fresh hollow loafs are filled with delicious authentic Indian curry of your choice. If you have the lamb bunny chow you will not go wrong!

The curries are to die for, ridiculously mouthwatering!

Usually bunny chows are supposed to be messy but the variety is insane, there is an option of ordering a trio of bunny’s, its less messier and ideal if you prefer eating with a knife and fork.

The service is exceptional and the manager Tuno, what a delightful soul.

Whilst ordering our food we actually witnessed a little incident.. a young lady was about to pay her bill but accidently blocked her card, seemingly she forgot her password to pay for the bill, she was absolutely distraught about the whole thing, but the kind and understanding staff of Sundoo’s made a plan and allowed her to come back and pay the following day.

That’s the beauty of this lovely Indian spot they put trust into their customers and their customers put trust into Sundoo.

We will definitely be back for more!

Both places are an absolute delight for a quick work lunch, our clients are always impressed!

love love love the fact that we can order in for the office, they are available on Mr delivery.

Well done & Congratulations on your new restaurant Macau

Our next stop! Cannot wait to try it out!!!!!

Quality of sea food was great ! Well prepared, good ambience and service, more options for vegetarians would be great, some options were priced out when compared to other restaurants of a similar standard close by !

I loved the food here! Everyone was happy with their meals, and we had friendly staff attending us. I must say however, that I was disappointed with the ambiance of the place. And the menu is a bit limiting (not much fish)

We enjoyed a fantastic lunch of fish & chips with a bottle of Chardonnay. It's a very relaxing place to enjoy a romantic meal, in such a legendary and historic city. Staff was very efficient and the restaurant is clean.

Purchased a wikideal which consisted of a main and dessert for 2. I chose the seafood platter for 2 and my partner chose the sirloin and chips and we swapped meals halfway through. Both meals were amazing... Seafood platter had a tasty range of prawns, calamari and line fish. It was served with a wonderful garlic butter sauce and a spicy tomato sauce which reminded me so much of a traditional fish curry. The steak was prepared to perfection served with crisp onion rings and chips and a lovely mushroom sauce. The trio of desserts ended off the meal wonderfully as the pieces were the right size to share between 2 people. Orders a Mango daiquiri as well. All their cocktails can be made non alcoholic as well.

I came to Seelan with my boyfriend for date night. Luckily we found a wikideal voucher otherwise this restaurant wouldn't have been an option for us budget wise. The voucher entitled us to two mains and a trio of desserts to share. I ordered the platter for one whilst my partner ordered the seafood linguine. Both meal portions were huge and ingredients were fresh. After a big meal the little dessert trio was perfect to share and ended the dining experience on a great note.

Oh my goodness.... I have never eaten pasta this good and this tasty! The wild mushroom and truffel pasta was absolutely divine. Not only was it a decent serving for a hungry lady, but it was seasoned to perfection and you just want to gobble it all down.
Albeit very rich and you might feel ill afterwards, you just can't help but want to lick the plate.
Amazing and well done to the chef.

Perfect for events, small family dinners, a special date night. Good Value for money especially considering the top quality food. The staff are professional,well trained, efficient and friendly. Seelan overlooks the Waterfront Harbour and is simply perfect for brunch, lunch until sunset and stars. You really feel special when you dine here. It has outdoor seating and indoor seating as well as a beautiful bar. They have televisions inside which often play sport or important events. Seelan as a venue for events, is a wise choice. They cater well and set up everything to your liking. Sometimes there is a live band or dj present, playing music. You'll make such fond memories here!

We got vouchers to the place and it was literally hidden away. A level below the Balthazar at the Harbour mouth. The waiter was extremely friendly who could easily name the 6 dishes and 3 deserts for us which was available. We both chose the beef fillet which was lovely, add to that the mushroom and pepper sauces we received was a damn fine ways better than any other place we have eaten at. The chips were good, the onion rings i believed was killed by the cook. I dont ever remember eating crispy onion rings. Further than that I would love to try one of their seafood dishes. A single platter at R700 and double at R1200. I would be curious and would love to see if they match the price on taste and presentation.

A relaxed atmosphere coupled with an amazing dining experience is what awaits you at Seelan Bistro & Bar. Our waiter Ashley was very accommodating, warm and welcoming. The hostess, noticing we were on a date, asked if we wanted to be moved somewhere more quiet. All in all a wonderful experience. Thank you Seelan.

………8th Apr 2018: -….This remains one of the most superb-lii located restaurants at the edge of the bay/quay/harbour at the V & A Waterfront, Cape Town. Where you can sit tranquil-lii especial-lii on a Sunday morning when this sometimes chaotic and vibrant place is quieted down and enjoy the terrific views of all the different types and shapes of big and small seafaring vessels anchored here, even watching them launch out to sea some for pleasure trips entertaining locals and foreigners alike! That’s besides the most amazing-lii awesome views of the One and Only New Seventh Wonder of the world “Table-Mountain” standing there in all its splendour! Even the Big Wheel is in full view right from the outside seating it’s just so breath-taking-lii surreal! You are never disappointed when you arrive here where the table settings are always very elegant with white table-cloths a small vase of fresh-lii cut petit miniature live flowers the napkins on the side-plates are of a superior quality-ii even embossed with the name “Seelan” on it! They have a good few matured male staff members who seem well suited in the work that they are cut out to perform as true gentlemen always pleasant explaining the menu in detail so you know beforehand exact-lii what you are getting! Our waiter was Pappa Joe and he was very competent! There Gourmet breakfasts are nothing out of the extra-ordinarii but you just know that it’s a good clean fresh-lii prepared delicious meal you will through-lii enjoy! They do also have some different meals on offer for breakfast like the Primi-Vera egg custard which they serve with a tomato & rocket salad but when you’re ravenous there’s no time to experiment! Hehehe! Maybe next time! The restaurant is very big inside with a full bar with seating right there! On Thursday nights they have a Jazz-Nite from 18:00 to 22:00! They are also very concerned for their patrons that might have one to many so they vivid-lii advertise for a Drive-You-Home service “Nite-Owls” the App to call them is available as a download! Very thought-full! They also have their Meal-Deals available through Wiki-Deals which is very affordable! This is a must visit restaurant! Always a Monies-Worth experience ……………………..NB! The kitchen here is full-ii “HALAAL”!! Just found this out today!....10 out of 10………………….... .What a Magnificently Situated Restaurant! Along side Table- Bay, where there is a cornucopia of splendid sights to take in while you sit back and Enjoy one of there Many Gourmet Meals. Our Favorite is to do the Sunday Morning Laid-back Breakfast! The Meals are scrumptiousl-ii made up of Scrambled eggs, Dhania sausage in a nice sting-ii sulsa, Grilled Mushrooms and tomatoes served with a nice cake-ii Bread. It is Awesome to set and watch the Boats and Ships coming and going which gives one a Trulii International Feeling about the place. If you choose to sit outside which is the best on a love-lii Summers morning You can enjoy the Full View of The Gorgeous Table Mountain standing right there in all its Splendour saying (One of the New Wonders of the World!) The staff are very helpful and friendly at all time as this was not our first visit here and sure-lii not our last..........Food is always good, clean and delicious!!!!!......

We used a hyperli voucher which got us a main and a dessert. The food was decent, nothing much to speak of. Prawns are always subpar (smallest prawns I’ve seen). Dessert was amazing. Service was okay and the ambience was really spot on. I would return but only with vouchers as the prices for the platters are way above average.

Seelan Restaurant & Bar is your next date night venue. Seelan takes a comfort & relaxation, but makes it vibey. With a beautiful view of Table Mountain and the harbour sounds to accompany your meal, there really isn’t any other way to do your next date night, girl’s get-together, or birthday celebration. 🍾 Seelan Sundoo takes a variety of dishes, as well as his own signature meals to create a menu that sparks imagination for your palette. From seafood, to pasta, to poultry, there’s a dish with a personal touch on Seelan’s menu. My boyfriend and I had our own date night at Seelan, enjoying cocktails and one of the best meals we’ve had. Starting with the Mango Daiquiri (it has Sailor Jerry - yum!) and fresh West Coast Oysters, you’re bringing the taste of the ocean right next to you, to your plate. 🍹 The Paradise Comso (because Reyka Vodka 🤩) was definitely my favorite cocktail of the night! I opted for a Wild Mushroom & Truffle pasta (also recommended by the waiter), while my boyfriend was daring and had the duck - something he hasn’t had before. There weren’t words to describe the meal except “OMG!” and “Wow! This is SO good!” Whatever you try on the menu, I know it’s going to be packed with flavour and taste. There’s nothing like a creamy creme brûlée to end your menu, and Seelan got it right! Actually, Seelan get everything right. A vibe, atmosphere, food and drinks. Take a drive to the Waterfront, and indulge in a fusion of meals!

I have been there for lunch, and the food was great. I went for the recommendation, tbone + plus desert and both were amazing. The meat is really delicious and tender, don't add any sauce because it has a great quality. I tried other great steak house in the city, and I would recommend Seeland instead of oter one. My girlfriend tried the salad of seafood that was very good as well. The view of the terrace is great. The service was 5 starts, they even offer a desert to my girlfriend, since I had a menu that included desert just for me. It is a good option in the waterfront
