    The prawns are prepared without any flavor. Not evenn garlic. Its tasteless and not well cooked. Was quite disappointed as that makes up the bulk of the price we pay for the buffet.

    Saffron Restaurant @ Coastlands Umhlanga Hotel responded on Mon 08 Jun 26:
    Dear Cassie  Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.  We are pleased to note your positive comments regarding the service you received. However, we are disappointed to learn that the prawns did not meet your expectations. As one of the signature highlights of our buffet offering, we understand your disappointment and sincerely apologize that they were not prepared to your satisfaction.  Your comments regarding the flavour, seasoning, and preparation of the prawns have been shared with our Executive Chef. Kindly note that our prawns are prepared with salt and pepper only, as we are grilling prawns for many guests who have different preferences. For guests' individual choice of flavor, we have garlic, lemon, and peri peri sauces available. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with a dining experience that better reflects the quality and value for which Coastlands Umhlanga Hotel is known.  Warm regards, Andre-B van Wyk Group Marketing and Sales Manager
