Reviews The Coffee Shop

We went for the dinner special which was R299 for two people, where you get a selection of two mains and one dessert platter for sharing. The food was really delicious and portion size was reasonable, however the prawn pasta linguine had way too little prawns in it and when it’s loadshedding you aren’t allowed to order any steak or chicken meals. Overall this place isn’t bad at all, tasty meals and great service.

Was my first time visiting, the service was good👍 The food was tasty. However, the portion sizes varied, and some were unexpected🙃 I would say its well suited for celebrating birthdays with close family and friends. The array of dessert treats was delicious and well presented 👌 The environment was calm and relaxed😌 quite fancy 😎 a bit pricy, but worth a try. You might just end up finding your new 'spot'

I was excited when visiting CT this time because there's a few restaurants I wanted to check off my list, we started with the Coffee Lounge CT at Century City, next to the Manhattan suites. We called to make a reservation, thinking that since it was still Ramadaan, it might be very busy. They were offering a Ramadaan menu, with only selected main meals available. My first impression was that this must be where the young and trendy, upwardly mobile Muslims hang out in CT, the decor is very chic, shiny, mainly glass and mirrors, glass tables, white chairs with ornate geometric rose gold chandeliers. It posseses a somewhat luxurious feel to it. They offered each patron a rich creamy pink falooda in a champagne flute, a sideplate with a mini pizza, crumbed samoosa and savoury ball along with a cup of vegetable soup as complementary starters, included In the Ramadaan menu of R150 pp. The Hubster had the prawn chaat as mains, served in a creamy gravy, not quite a curry but tasty, with a roti. It was disappointing that the prawns were not de-shelled though! My son had the tandoori chicken with chips which was tasty, not too hot and I had the creamy chicken pasta, in an Alfredo sauce, which was good and had a thick creamy sauce. The coffees were excellent, robust and fragrant, even the hot chocolate was awesome. The restaurant was empty, except for another table with 2 patrons. The staff were friendly and attentive. They had a whole display cabinet of delicious looking desserts which I was too full to try and baskets of specialty breads. The waiters advises that it gets a lot busier on weekends. On the downside, there were no salaah facilities and parking might be an issue when the restaurant is full.

Had my son's 21st on the 3 Dec 2023, had them arrange decor and we were impressed. Food was amazing, staff were friendly. Owner was very accommodating. Yes we had a few mishaps with double booking due to same names booking on same dates but was beautifully resolved.

Good specials, great food, communication regarding the booking was good and they were very accommodating. One of the very few completely halaal sit-down options in the whole Northern Suburbs. Service was a little slow at times however and the bathroom area needs attention to match the otherwise very attractive and classy front of house.

Upon arrival I felt so welcome,the hospitality overall was just nice.When our sliders arrived at first I was surprise,but after taking the first bite I was thrown away.The food is really lovely and made with excellance.The desert was even more lovely and will definitely be going back there again. Thank you for he awesome service .

Halaal menu with a modern twist. Sophisticated simplistic decor, daily specials and great pastries available. David was an amazing server and very attentive.
