This is what disappointment tastes like... I have always believed that every culinary experience tells a story, and my visit to "Idlanathi" at Pollsmoor Prison was no exception. As a hobby chef, I hold food to a high standard, and it pained me deeply to taste such disappointment. Arrival and ambiance are crucial aspects of a dining experience. Spending nearly two hours waiting for our food was excruciating. I found it incredibly distracting and unprofessional that prison guards strolled into the kitchen, treating it like their personal cafeteria. The sight of them taking over the kitchen, commandeering time and ingredients meant for us paying patrons, was deeply disheartening. The purpose of these programs, as I understand it, is to provide inmates an opportunity to learn, grow, and offer a service to the public. Their efforts should be respected and supported, not sidelined by guards seeking a quick bite. Then came the food. My cheeseburger was a tragic tale. I could sense its lackluster effort from the moment it was set down in front of me. The meat not only tasted off but the texture was reminiscent of a meal that had been reheated one too many times, and the bun began to crumble apart as soon as I picked it up from the plate. It was a burger that had lost its soul. After one bite, I pushed it aside and faced the tragedy of my soggy fries. Every bite was a somber reminder of what could have been. Fortunately, not all hope was lost. My wife's Chicken Cordon bleu was the sole redeeming factor of our visit. It was a glimmer of potential in an otherwise bleak culinary landscape. Its flavors were balanced, and the meat was tender, cooked to perfection. Sharing her meal became an act of mercy, ensuring that I wouldn't leave the establishment with a gnawing void in my stomach. "Idlanathi" has potential; I genuinely believe that. But my visit was overshadowed by the prison guards' negligence and lack of respect for the culinary process. I can only hope that changes are made, and that the inmates' efforts are given the respect and attention they rightfully deserve. This could be a unique dining experience, but for now, it remains a missed opportunity. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

I can highly recommend a visit to the Pollsmoor Restaurant. It is by far the best value you will get for your money in Cape Town. The portions are big and super cheap. It was not busy when we were there. The place needs some attention, but the people were friendly. Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
