I downloaded Zomato in order to write a review on Vovo Telo Woodmead... I just had the best sandwich EVER! Ordered a take-away sandwich on rye breas, when I got home and open the box, it smelled as if I am sitting in a bakery. The bread was as if it just came out of the oven. The filling was very generous and great tasting! Fantastic! I will recommend.

Great affordable breakfast with a good assortment. Also the freshly baked bread is delicious , try the chili loaf and olive loaf. Brioche buns are also great for a home made burger

Beautiful vovo telo. Service is good. Coffee is great. The food didn't take long either. They also were not phased by me altering my meal to suit my needs which is awesome :)

Mediocre! I tried the Sriracha chicken baguette with a rooibos tea. The baguette was almost dry but it was a decent size. Rooibos tea is rooibos tea so it was just that. The experience was ok - the baguette was R87 - a bit overpriced? Friendly staff and nice ambience with average food.

Was flying solo today and thought I'd go to one of my preferred breakfast spot. Vovo Telo Waterfall (VTW) has always left me feeling good after a meal, I think it's the quality of the ingredients and the simple preparations that bring out good flavours.

On this particular morning I went for the Griddle Stack Breakfast with a soft poached egg.

First out, the food was what I'd come to expect from VTW, everything looked fresh and tasty!!

Digging in I realised the cheese sauce didn't really add anything to the plate... It was creamy but not very cheesy, it lacked that cheese hit I expected, but it served as a reasonable substitute for a sauce. I enjoy griddled cakes and I've come to enjoy the slightly doughy (not gloopy) texture, however it lacked seasoning and was rather bland in the mouth.

The bacon was great and so was the Rocket.. the highligh was the perfectly soft poached egg that oozed all over the plate.

Overall, the dish hit some highs and sunk to some lows, overall I can't say it was extremely memorable, but was satisfying at the time. But I could shake the feeling that the taste was a bit one dimensional.. especially with the bland cakes neutralising the other good flavours on the plate.

It just needs something else, maybe a stronger cheese sauce or an additional protein in the plate.... A pork banger perhaps would make it a much more rounded experience. Towards the end when the bacon was gone and all I had was the cheese sauce, cake and egg yolk left, it didn't really taste of anything specific and that was a let down.

The service was fairly average, staff looked busy, but my server lacked the attentiveness I have come to expect from establishments in this area.

I may just be overly critical because I love eating here and will continue to do so. If u were rating VTW purely on food it's a 4 (I could overlook slightly under seasoned cakes and a not so cheesy cheese sauce), but the service made me rethink my rating to a 3.5.

Great food (toasted sandwiches and Mexican scramble) almond milk (not all offer this) for cappuccinos and a pleasant atmosphere. Stand out for us was the waiter. Really good service on a busy Sunday morning. Not a lot can go wrong here. You know what you getting. Took a sourdough home for the braai in the afternoon and it was unreal.

First time ever that I tried this eatery. Beautiful atmosphere especially if you're seated outside with the water feature on a beautiful summer's afternoon. Overlooking Life Grand and a few other restaurants and retailers.

On a recent trade visit, we decided to meet at Vovo Telo Waterfall Corner before venturing out, because I was early I opted for a starter AKa an Almond Cortado. The waiter helping added to the experience, a fellow musician she is. Oh back to the coffee, so good it was that on our return another pick me up was what the doctor ordered. The whole centre is a vibe, Vovo Telo was a great experience and a definite repeat.

Excellent service from our waitress. Food is a bit pricey, but good quality. Wish there were more "Hindu friendly" options (i.e. things with chicken/egg but no beef/pork). Freshly baked bread was awesome 👌

So the experience started out superbly. Baking entertainment for the kids with the spoils they get to keep. That truly impressed me. We then put our drinks order in. The drinks were not brought together. Things were okay till we had to keep reminding the waitress about the second drink. Perhaps just a small delay in the kitchen. We put our food order in. With my child being a picky eater i was hoping for creamy eggs on her order but they were powdery. Overcooked a bit. On my order (my fault) i did not specify runny poached eggs (i was never asked how i wanted them though) but one was way over and one medium. We also asked for croissants at a point which we kept having to remind the waitress about. The managers really tried to help us but i think the restaurant became so busy so quickly that the waitress was slightly flustered. From a food point of view it was good but was not without glitches. Watching them bake fresh bread was awesome. I will still recommend the place and definitely go back for their bread but was a bit let down by slight disorganization with service. Hence the 4 star rating because i believe this was an isolated incident and their efforts from most was more than just a 3 star okay.

This is my happy place. I was heart broken when they closed at Umhlanga. My kids liked the dough experience making animals and having to keep them! The waterfall joint is also very nice but a little small so it's understandable why they don't have a kids dough making corner. The food though..... Perfect score 🎼. Their chicken livers are the best and if you think you have tasted better somewhere, we can have a chicken liver challenge but I'm sure vovo’s will still come on top, go there and try them, then let us know!
