Quarter Kitchen at The Portswood Hotel

We ate here while staying at The Portswood. The restaurant has a very nice ambience,the staff are friendly and the food excellent.The lamb curry was one of the best we have had,highly recommended!

It's a bit confusing, the Tripadvisor map points to the Portswood Hotel at the VA Waterfront but the pictures and some of the reviews are of the Simonstown restaurant, 50 kms away. I'm not sure if they are part of the same franchise or have the same owners, but we went to the one at the Portswood Hotel which seems more upscale than the Simonstown restaurant.The restaurant is inside the hotel, so you don't get a view of the harbourfront. There is seating inside, but we ate on the patio, near the pool.They have about 5 different Cape Malay curries on the menu. We didn't have any curry, instead we ordered the Cape Malay Sampler, an appetizer-sized plate, which consisted of samoosas (not a typo, it's how the South Africans spell samosa), spring rolls, meatballs, breaded cheese & breaded prawns. Served with different sauces, like chutney, cucumber & yogurt. Very delicious. We also ordered the bobotie: mince meat with Cape Malay spices, some almonds and raisins, topped with egg omelette. It was served with two different kinds of rice, a small piece of roti and some Indian papadum bread. We really enjoyed the bobotie, it was a nice-sized portion served in a small casserole dish. Well spiced and tasty. Would definitely recommend it to anyone!Total for 1 Cape Malay sampler + 2 main dish bobotie + 1 bottle of sparkling water was 485 ZAR.

The restaurant is small. The staff is friendly and service is good. Food is native but waitress clearly explained what we were eating. Quantities are good and variety is good.

We dined here twice and all I have to say is very good Cape Malay food. Everything we had was delicious and the staff are outstanding. Make sure you give this place a try it’s inside the PortsWood hotel.

Choices of typical Cape Malay food was good. Had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. Attentive, helpful and the food was wonderful.

My daughter and I went for lunch at this place. I must say words will not do justice to the food. We had an assortment of Cape Malay Curries which were amazing. this food was divine and the portions were big, we could not even eat dinner after this. this was a lovely experience and my advice go on a very empty stomach, you will not regret it. I had the best strawberry Daiquiri ever.

Large portions of Cape Malay seafood. Tasty, a bit spicy. The breakfast there was also very good, especially the omelets!

Lovely ambience and friendly helpful staff. Had chicken and prawn curry which was good. However, given this restaurant advertises as specializing in Cape Malay flavours I was disappointed. I have had better Cape Malay curries at other restaurants in the area.

The restaurant has a wide choice of meals on offer and great staff. The food and service are excellent.

This restaurant was in our hotel The Portswood and we decided to have dinner here rather than venture out into the town. It was a very nice experience. It was not busy and we were served promptly with nice food. Worth having dinner here if you are staying at The Portswood.
