    Sorry to say but the food was terrible By the time you got to the table it was already cold. Not much selection it was same foods we can eat at home Desserts were stale and tasted terrible I was celebrating my 50 th and took my mother in law and mother. They are pensioners and old. To go out is a luxury these days but food was really disappointing I saved for 5 months to take everyone out.

    veg option was extremely bad. even complained to the chef, who just said sorry and walked away. sausage chutney was made with cheap can tomatoes, which was sour and full of oil, couldn't even find sausages in there. mushroom and brinjol more oil than curry. Mix veg, also topped with oil, no taste, cabbage was boiled, still had so much water in it. Mac and cheese are what we eat, which was very average. extremely disappointed that the chef never even offer to make something else, we were there from 6.15pm till 9pm and was just ignored once i complained. the standards have dropped, and the price has increased. I had my wedding there, and the food was the best, came there a few times before, had no issues. not sure what changed, but it was a horrible experience. hope changes are made, or the once beautiful Saffron will slowly dissolve. i have picture of the food, if you require them. R350.00 for Mac and cheese is definitely not on....

    Hi I would like to say the food was tops divine. I was disappointed there was no complimentary drinks and no seafood as we where flying down just for Coastlands. Desserts I feel there is lots of cake instead of biscuits. I think you guys should have cakes biscuits and all the other stuff . Everything was good and tasteful. I honestly think atleast 1 beverage should be included in a buffet. We had a awesome 👌 Time. Will be visiting soon and I hope you guys have a lekker menu for father's day and also maybe have soft music for the soul. We enjoyed ourselves and we'll done to the chefs and Waiters extremely brilliant 👏.. Coastlands is awesome 👌. Topz.. Thanks guys for all the Top Services..
