    Good service, tasty food, had the Mozambique prawn curry. Quite noisy with the kitchen door slamming loudly and continuously. Was told that that is how it is. Overall the experience was good.

    My booking was for Xmas day at 13h30. I arrived at 13h35 to a large crowd waiting. I was told Calisto's was over booked and will have to wait to be seated. A waiting time could not be given As we were hungry, I had to find an alternate resturant.
