Ponta

We wanted dinner on a Thursday at around 5pm. The Mall of Africa was buzzing. We found Ponta, a great Portuguese restaurant at the fountains outside. The food was great, we had lamb chops & Korma Chicket Curry. The service was perfect! Lovely sitting out here on a hot day watching the children in the playground.

I was happy with my experience at Ponta this afternoon. The starters were very good, we had the cheesy garlic roll and a new special, the loaded potato skins. The spices on the roll were different and that was nice and the flavor of the potato skins was smooth. For mains we had the chicken korma curry, the rump pichana and the Spicy Oxtail special. The curry was nice and different and the Oxtail was well cooked, falling off the bone. I was pleased that the chef came to ask for some feedback on his new specials because I had some suggestions, I would have liked the spicy oxtail to be more spicy and also set out on a plate instead of being in a bowl. And I would have also liked the rump to be completely sliced and then cooked because it was a bit too thick and chewy for me. But overall we were pleased with the service and food. Many thanks.

Delicious food, we had the garlic bread starter, calamari and coconut rice main, and 750g T-bone steak with sides. Wow! So good, hubby said it was possibly the best steak he has had so far. I tried it, can confirm it was amazing. Our waiter was excellent, attentive to our needs, on the ball with service. Nice music and chilled vibe. Google pics don't do the place justice. Will be back for sure.
