The service was top notch. The food, beef ribs, chips, salads and chicken wings.... Our waiter was excellent.
Soooo good! So Glad I finally tried you guys!
I had one of your limited edition burgers and my sister had a veggie burger!
We also ordered milkshakes , bubblegum and lemon meringue pie!
They were so delicious!
Also excellent on the ball service! So hospitable!
I would definitely recommend that all my friends try it!
As per all roco mammas, the food was generally good. It arrived pretty fast (ubereats) and all our instructions were followed correctly. The burgers are generally small for the price but they're decent. We LOVE the cheese bombs, cheesy fries and Nutella and banana waffle! Highly recommend
Whilst the atmosphere was really laid back and fun, it was quite hard to have a conversation with my group because it was sort of loud. This did not take away from the quality of the food. I took a medium portion of cheesy fries and it was more than enough to share with my friend. The burger was fantastic and so was my drink. The service was really great and our waiter was extremely friendly. We drove all the way from Cape Town to get there, because this was, at the time, the only halal RM. Absolutely no regrets
Very consistent. Good burgers. Good milkshakes.
Try the creme brulee milshake. Or even the blueberry.
Im sorry i have to say something bad now, im just being honest. The menu is confusing, especially the part with the bombs n all that stuff. We need pictures to figure out what we want. Pls send this to HQ.
Tyrell was a real big help! Food was incredibly tasty and really fast to arrive. Really nice vibe at this store. Will definitely recommend it to anyone and be back asap!
I couldn’t wait to try this branch as there are no halal Rocomamas in Cape Town so we had dinner at Melrose Arch the one evening and tried the chicken burger as well as the loaded cheese fries.
In my opinion, it was one of the best burgers I’ve had and the fries were delicious too.The staff are friendly and polite, we were well looked after that evening so my overall experience was great..would highly recommend a visit to this branch!
A must try if you're ever in Johannesburg
The burgers are super good, and loaded fries are whoa
I had the cheese and macon burger and of course the loaded cheddar fries.
Heard a lot about the place and decided to stop for a quick lunch.
The vibe is funky and informal, which creates quite a pleasant atmosphere.
The burgers live up to the hype but didn't "blow my socks off". The drinks were cold, the chips tasty and the service quite good.
I will stop by again soon.
Seeing it's halaal, it's the only one I can eat at and I have never been disappointed. I am a regular once a month at least, the staff know me well and I always treat me well. Food is always perfect! My favourite burger joint without question!
You can find delicious hamburgers in this restaurant. The service is quick and portions are big enough. There are aldo steak and other selections in the menu.

This branch of Roco Mamas, had gotten it's Halaal certification some, what 10-11 months now...AND I FINALLY GOT TO GO SEE WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT.
I did postpone going earlier, as I read reviews about wait time to be seated, so I allowed all the hype to cool down a bit. And I have not regretted waiting. Being a late Sunday afternoon that I popped by, The store was still abuzz like they had just opened. My Betterhalf and I waited a little while for seats, and managed to get a corner table on the inside.
The atmosphere in the store was vibrant, with smart hangdown lighting that complemented the store colour palette perfectly. It was a blessing to have the fine water spray outdoors to help cool down the outdoor spaces, as we had a scorcher of a day on the Highveld. Noise levels can become a bit bothersome, with the mix of loud music and everyone talking at the same time.
The food did not disappoint. APART from a slightly stale burger bun, I can still say, we thoroughly ENJOYED our experience.
The Ordering system is cool, where you don't have a waiter/ess hanging over you to take your order, you are needed to tick off your orders on a paper menu, that gets collected by a waiter/ess . Fear not..the waiters are excellent in being able to help you decide and their knowledge of the items available in their menu is great, shout out to waitress Catherine for an amazing job👌.
Another great feature with Roco Mamas, is that you can also make up your own version of a burger, if you don't like what's already on offer, and every smash burger comes in a Beef, Chicken or Veg options.
So I had choosen the classic cheese beef burger, I think this needed a little more of kick with some other accompanying sauce blend with the regular mayo, as it was a little on the dry side, but the beef patties were done perfectly and were juicy. On the side I had the cheese fries (YUMMY), whilst my Hubby had a chillie cheese fries (YUM YUMM) , to go with his chilli cheese bomb beef burger, which looked amazing. All thumbs up from him. If You are not Hungry, DO opt for a small sized cheese/chilly cheese fries, as the medium portion we ordered was quite large. These turbo charged fries won't dissapoint, as the cheese sauce was liberally slathered onto the fries. We did also order a classico nachos, which was jam-packed with salsa, sour cream and guacamole, But The corn chips had been slightly over baked.
For drinks we opted to get the Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri and the Teopical Blue Lemonade
An overall awesome experience, that brought back memories of similar experiences we had been used to in the middle east. About time South Africa got some exciting stores like Roco Mamas and HALAAL at that🎉🎉🎉.
Though this 1st visit had a couple boo boos..I MOST DEFINITELY will return to this store. Their Freak Shakes and Waffles have my name written on them..but that I would leave for another CHEAT DAY😉.
Well Done to the Management and Staff at Roco Mamas Melrose Arch, keep on delivering your best. #WEHEARTIT 💕 (@foodeva_marsay)
On a Sunday afternoon during school holidays the place was packed. Had to wait about 10min for tables and umbrellas to be moved together (for our group) at the furthest part of the outside seating. There were too few waiters as we waited long for our orders to be taken and we couldn't get their attention as they didn't pass by us at all except to bring out food and drinks after we had ordered. I had to move the heavy umbrella myself when the shade moved away from out table.
The food was great. Tasty as usual. I made a mistake with the Rock-tails, thought it was carbonated. Was basically drink-o-pop with a few ice blocks.
My go to burger place!! I love the food, it is always such a vibe to eat at RocoMamas Melrose. The service is great, the food is always top notch. Never been disappointed. A special thanks to Melissa who has been very helpful and always so hospitable.
Excellent burger and fries. It would have been perfect if the bread was not that cold.
Nice staff.
Was there for lunch, it was very quite.
The food was nice but the service was very slow and it wasn't even that packed.
Great burgers , ribs, chips and cheese bombs and hot wings , the food is prepared with fresh ingredients. I've never been disappointed after dining here . The milkshakes are really good too
Food looked good, though it could have a bit more flavour.
The milkshakes was awesome.
They only had 1 high chair which was used so my baby well could not get a high chair.
The outside seating is not kid friendly, no back rests.
Took a while for the food to arrive.
Waiter was friendly. Though had to wait to see her and ger her attention for assistance.
Feel it is abit overpriced.
Always come here for halal burgers. Service, atmosphere and food is 10/10
The store was super busy one Saturday Night when my family and I went.
Managed to secure a table and still had incredible service.
What really stands out is that the waitress took her time to go trough the specials with us and she also upsold to my very hungry kids. Which is amazing.
The manger went out of his way to ensure my kids were taken care of during the busy period and made sure the kids foods were pushed out to ensure that no toddler has a tantrum.
Really friendly staff who are exceptionally knowledgeable on the menu and even more willingly to help you pass the multiple question exam of what to eat.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Melrose Rocomamas and I must say, the service provided by our waitron, Catherine, was exceptional. From the moment we walked in, she was attentive, efficient, and incredibly friendly. She made sure our orders were taken promptly and delivered to our table with lightning speed. Catherine's warm and welcoming demeanor added to the overall pleasant experience we had at the restaurant. I highly recommend Melrose Rocomamas for their outstanding service, and I would like to extend a special thank you to Catherine for making our visit truly enjoyable.
The manager was such a kind and caring person. Her hospitality and character were heartwarming she helped us so graciously and made sure we were happy with what we got even though it was a busy Saturday night. Very impressive
