Amazing food, amazing ambiance, amazing service. Thank you
The food was awesone; service great and the atmosphere magnificent. Thank you you for making my husband's 50th dinner memorable.
Prawns and Lobster Thermidor at it's best. February 2020.
Christmas function for Forty people. Well worth the price. Food was delicious. Staff very accommodating. Table layout was good. I highly recommend this venue. Carl is super accommodating and very pleasant . Well done Adega Rivonia! We will be back
Recently visited Adega with my family. The service was friendly, we were quickly seated and the restaurant was warm and cosy. We ordered the 1kg prawn special and the chicken special with chips, in Mild and Pedi Peri. The flavours were spot on, we all throughly enjoyed our meals with even my 4 year old niece asking for another "juicy one". Really satisfying dinner! Will be back. Thank you!
Went here with a friend for there birthday and i found this restaurant to be nicely laid out and staff very friendly. The food was of a good standard.
Best wings and ribs ever, and what a gorgeous restaurant. Its been a while since I've eaten out and thoroughly enjoyed every single bite. I didn't want it to end. There Chicken ae out of this world . Friendly staff and lovely décor. I am a regular.
What a friendly & quick waiter I got. Everything was on time and on point. my favourite would be the wings . Please keep it up Adega . You never disappoint.
Overall a great Portuguese food experience. The food is really authentic and is very tasty and definitely has a that bite if you like your peri-peri and chilli. The menu has a great variety and will cater for more tastes.
I’ve been a couple of times and have had no complaints on any of my visits. This visit i ordered the prawn pasta which is quite nice and the manager addresses all concerns quite swiftly as previously i had the seafood pasta and my clams had not opened upon seeing such he sent over a new dish as soon as the kitchen was able to whip it up
I always enjoy a great meal here...Well especially oysters and a medium-rare steak 😍❤️🍽🥩🥗🍤.The food is not expensive at all,everything is reasonably priced 🥂
Found my new Nandos!! Absolutely love the flavour of the chicken. I had it with the veggies (spinach and butternut) as well as creamy mash potatoes.
I've been to this Adega once or twice. We decided to go there for dinner the one evening during the week so it wasn't busy at all.
I decided to order the prawn special that came with 12 prawns, rice and chips. It was both delicious and good value for money.
For me, Adega is one of those restaurants that offers good, consistent food so you know what to expect. I was shocked to see that this particular branch has such a low rating as I've always had a good experience when I've been there!
Had dinner with my wife ordered the 500g ribs and the full chicken. Awesome awesome food ,service and quality. Great music a really great dinner spot.
This place is now our regular spot. Management and staff run a fantastic established this is true value for money, quality food and service at its best .
Very very very satisfied
Had an outstanding prawn meal there tonight.
Helping was generous and food was delicious.
Service was also first class.
This particular franchise has improved by leaps and bounds from my last visit.
Have been there a few more times since the above review.Each visit has been notable for both good food and excellent service. I reiterate my comment that this franchise has improved by leaps and bounds.
Would like to add one small criticism after a recent visit.
Serving hot food on cold plates destroys a meal. Many SA eateries do this. It did spoil an outstanding meal backed up by excellent service from waitron Cross.
Fantastic service, absolutely delicious food and most relaxed vibe! Definitely one of my favourite spots to eat! Will be back for sure! Would recommend it to any one looking for delicious Portuguese food!
As usual this Porro restaurant lived beyond my expectations. Peri peri chicken , trinchado and delicious grilled Calamari was what we had . Great speedy service too !
Very child friendly restaurant with a play area outside, with great value for money for the whole family.Situated conveniently to the highway.
Prawns were very tasty :D
Quality food. The owners are here personally making sure the food is perfect. The service is perfect and I recon a bargain for the price we are paying. Delicious food and relaxed atmosphere.
9/10 experience, one of the best eateries in Rivonia and definitely on my favorites list. food was amazing and the friendly waiters and managers ensured that I would return. The entertainment area was great for the kids we had with us.
Adega for me is all about the spicy chicken and prawns. The spicy marinade and sauce is so yum and we always ask for extra basting. I don't go here for ambience and if service is good, its a plus. I love when they have the platter specials but do feel sides are limited on the 4 ppl meals. We do frequent this place often and on most occasions its fairly empty, I hear though the Sunday buffets brings in the crowd. They have a good cocktail and wine selection and with good company you can enjoy your time here.
I enjoy this branch of Adega because its easy to get to from my house, and the parking is ample, Ive never not been able to get a table. Theres a kiddy play area as well which is very popular.
The food is great, I had an amazing platter for two but it was enough for 3 .
Theres a lovely fire place and the waiters are always great and helpful.
I do not however enjoy the menu, the magazine style is annoying and cumbersome.
The food is amazing at a reasonable price. Always high quality. Prawn and chicken combo is always a winner! Service always great. A great weekend brunch spot.
First time coming here since the change of ownership and there is a significant improvement. Food is excellent and the horrible carpets are gone! Still room for improvement on the service though but on the whole a major improvement! Keep it up!
Good food, pity about the tooth picks found in the bread rolls and then the starter. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Friendly staff (owner included) and a prime location. The restaurant is well laid out with ample seating and it's classic Adega, clean and neat. The oysters are fresh, prawns huge and chicken succulent and perfectly done. The only issue was the portion size of the sushi; the california rolls appeared to he haphazardly done and quite small. Other than that - it's great overall.
Came here on a Saturday evening. Not too busy. Perhaps just before pay day. So still book in case. They having a great special with R99 for 10 medium oysters. Very big and good... just needs to be iced for a little longer because it wasn't cold enough. Also have great prawns special. Prawns are above average. Good vibe.
So I went to Adega Rivonia on Friday afternoon (08/07) to meet with some friends for a late lunch/ early dinner...We decided to give them a chance since they have a new owner. Their rolls were fresh and warm, I actually dipped mine in that peri-peri sauce they give and it was really tasty. We ordered halloumi starters which was cooked to perfection and had a nice sweet-chill sauce with it, they were generous on the portion size too. For mains my one friend ordered the ribs of which I had a taste and I didn't expect them to be as good as they were! they were covered in a delicious sauce and there was plenty of meat on the bone. I had a Prawn combo which was seriously good!! the Prawns were cooked well, full of flavour and very meaty, definitely worth it. Below is a picture of my meal :-) I'll be going back again.
Bought the quarter chicken and chips lunch time special from adega yesterday and I must say it was awesome. Never tasted chicken that good and the chips was just as good. Don't even think nandos can compare with their chicken and i love nandos.
My biggest issue with Adega is their menu! Is this an awesome marketing idea or an epic fail! I found the magazine for a menu to be really annoying and all the advertising very irritating! But that's my personal view. Had a waiter who was training but tried his best and service wasn't bad. Had the calamari which was good and espatada was also good. Not excellent but decent.
What a lovely Adega branch. We have had the prawns "pot" where they give you a big pot of prawns that is kept warm by candles. The calamari is absolutely fabulous and the steak is also always great. The sushi is fresh and well prepared. Some Sundays there is a buffet which isn't bad.
Today was the last day of fasting so I spent the last lunch at adega and grudgingly ordered a veg pasta but it was really good and the waiters were very friendly! I will definitely be back for more.
Went to Adega Rivonia this weekend after a long time. New management team in place.
Sunday buffet was amazing and service was great.
Owner and managers visible.
Interestingly they had live entertainment. The guy was great, what an unexpected treat.
Will definitely be back
The chicken pasta was terrific. But the service was very bad. We had to shout for the waiters to attend to us and the store was empty. Imagine.
The centre is an odd stop for the restaurant, however we went there due to buying a few Groupons and the food was simply great! The cocktail menu is very large and very hard to choose from, but the ones I chose were great. The chicken we had, was the best chicken I have ever eaten and the prawns were delicious as well! The food standard was excellent! Will go again soon!
Chicken peri peri was great. Magnum milkshake was best. Chicken pasta was fishy. Groupon voucher was good value for money. I like the hot towels ... feels like business class.
The best Adega in my opinion. Their peri peri chicken is the way chicken should be treated and the rest of the food, incl. sushi is fantastic
Highly recommend
Dinner at Adega was fun. The atmosphere is very vibey and a loud table isnt frowned at by anyone (phew).
We went for a quick dinner at Adega before runnng across the parking lot to the Barnyard for a show. Our waiter was very helpful in trying to keep us on schedule and get us to the show on time.
Food was enjoyed by everyone. I ordered a chicken salad (diet! bleh!) but i found it quite nice and tasty and a hefty serving. The salad wasn't drenched in any dressing. Instead, the table had olive oil and balsamic vinegar available. FANTASTIC! I love it!
The mister ordered a chicken Espetada and commented that the veggies were really good.
All in all, not a bad night out.
A fairly large restaurant, yet manages to have a warm and cozy atmosphere! Delicious and full on flavour Portuguese style food with the added magic of sushi makes this a restaurant for all tastes. Probably most well known for their big steel pans full of juicy and delicious prawns...this is one franchise that has a winning and unique formula! Prices are reasonable and a must for all families!
Food was great, excellent service. Will definitely visit again.

Sat outside with my husband (smoking section, that consist of 2 lonely tables) fortunately the waiter was very attentive.
Drinks were just ok, except when the manager came around and offer the proper Mozambican rum to my husband(RR or something like that), it was certainly not expected and it was extremely good (first time I've tried it)...and I did preferred it over the margarita and piña colada I had.
We order the special platter for 2...all was good, except the lobster which was the 'king' of the dish, so overcooked that it actually stuck onto the shell. Other than that it was a good meal.
Glad the manager and waiters actually make the environment for us. Inside the restaurant was a little oven, not sure why, but when going to the toilets the heat was too much, outdoor seating is definitely a must here.

Yesterday was my partner's birthday. He wanted oysters so I booked us a table for 3 at Adega's Rivonia. His sister joined us. Our waiter was Bongani and although a little emptier than normal, it was after all a Monday night, the atmosphere was still lovely as always and the service was as always professional and perfect to a T.
We ordered our drinks which arrived timeously.
My partner and his sister had oysters for starters, half a dozen each and although I do not like oysters i did try one and they are so fresh...literally smacks of the sea and you feel so 'clean' after eating one.
For mains we shared 1kg of King Prawns, with sides of rice and chips and all the sauces, namely national sauce, garlic sauce, lemon butter sauce and peri peri sauce.
The prawns were wonderful and literally melted in your mouth.
We were so full after dinner that none of us wanted dessert however they recalled us saying it was my partners birthday and surprised him with ice cream, chocolate sauce and a sparkler!!! such a lovely thought. He was pleasantly surprised.
We often go to this restaurant and I can honestly say that no matter when we go, there is always a wonderful atmosphere, great friendly service, awesome food and really we have never been disappointed.
We love the Rivonia branch and Fred the manager is always willing to go the extra mile and always makes time to say hello.
A great experience, always!!!
Delicious fresh food! Had our year end party here. We were served timeously and all food was hot and great - we were 12 in total! Thanks Fred!
The menu is extensive and offers everything from sushi to steak. Food is delicious and service was very warm. Perfect for a family outing.
Lovely atmosphere with really great tasty food. The LM checken and the calamari are great as well as the Trinchado. Only felt that the music selection was poor. I will go back it was a great experience overall.
We had a fantastic night out, restaurant is super warm with a beautiful fire place. Lovely staff, incredible food if you love prawns this is definitely the place to go! I’d recommended this to anyone looking for a nice night out! Thank you Adega for a great night.
What an amazing father's day special. You guys should consider doing this buffet on other occasions as well. The fact of the matter is that the food was really great service was acceptable due to them been that busy and atmosphere is always set well with kids playing inside the jungle gym area.
My second time at Adega and again the service is amazing.....the food is splendid!🔥🔥 definitely should try the food here. This is my go to restaurant now❤️
Wonderful food every single time! Absolutely love Adega Sunninghill. Best prawns in Jozi
Great food. Lovely atmosphere. This place has very much improved I their service over my past experience which is awesome considering the food is really amazing .
R 329.00 for a whole lotta food: Prawns 1KG, Full Chicken, Calamari, greek salad and any side of your choice. Its a massive massive Special.
Best chicken I ever had. Nice restaurant but a bit fresh. There is a breeze through out the restaurant which makes it a bit unpleasant to stay.
The very best Oysters in Gauteng.
Once again awesome food and good value for your money.
Ah excellent restaurant with great food... Meal of the day was delicious... Waiters were friendly and helpful in explaining the menu
Great food, great service.
You will see me again and again!!!
Prawns were delish! Service bit slow.. But was worth the wait! Oyster special during the week.. Defiantly a must to return!
The best food I’ve had in a very long time.
The sushi and oysters were incredible and the prawns were perfectly cooked, also super generous with the portions, accompanied by some quality cocktails.
It was a great atmosphere and great service. This is now officially my favourite restaurant.
Before visiting I had never had seafood before. The owner, Luis and the manager, Mike made the experience a truly unforgettable one. They recommended dishes, checked up on us and told us stories about some of the dishes we had. Thoroughly enjoyed my time there and I'll be visiting Adega soon. Would definitely recommend their prawns.
Easily the best restaurant to experience true Portuguese cuisine and hospitality. The seafood and wine options are excellent. The service is outstanding. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant has such a great ambience. Loved the sushi and prawns. The food is fresh and tasty. Highly recommended!!
Had a lovely dinner here last week, fresh sushi to start and then some delicious oysters! We shared prawns which were out of this world - some of the best I have ever had! My mother who is allergic to fish was offered tempura vegetables and a freshly made vegetable pasta, which she said was great.
The venue is big but feels warm with a big central fireplace. Service was attentive but not suffocating. We enjoyed a gin cocktail and then a great MCC 🥂
Well worth a visit - I will be back for the prawns!
Excellent food with a great menu and wide variety to choose from.
Great value for money.
Nice and spacious - definitely don't feel cramped up.
Very neat with friendly staff and Management.
I would definitely recommend this place to others 👍🏻
The place is beautifully set up and such a nice quiet vibe. Ordered one of their seafood platters and the food was tasty and service was top notch. Will definitely go back and try other menu items. Items are not too badly priced especially for the quality of the food.
Brilliant food and Service, Always! Thank you
Very delicious food. Bought it from hyperli. Chicken nd Prawns
