Not the first problem I have had with Calisto's New Market Mall. First problem. Recently there was a special on a chicken meal. A Quarter and get one free on a Monday if my memory serves me correctly. I saw the sign at the entrance to the restaurant which was partially hidden from the direction I was walking from. Mugg n Bean side. Told the waiter I was there to have the special. He seated me and brought me the chicken. Ate my meal and asked where the other one was. He said he would get the kitchen to make it. I asked for the bill and that the other chicken be brought as a take away. He brought the chicken and the bill. I was charged for two and not one. I asked him why I was charged for two. He replied that the special was only valid after 6pm. I checked the board and it stated from 6pm. From where I was approaching the restaurant the board was not clearly visible and partially hidden but my fault for not making sure of the details. I however told the waiter I was there to have the special. He should have told me its only valid from 6pm. I paid and left. Next experience I went to have the Sunday morning breakfast special and the crumbed chicken was finished. Waiter said no problem, they will make and bring it to my table. I am still waiting. Next experience. Had fish which was so overcooked as well as the chicken we ordered. Chicken was really bad and completely dry. Waiter apologised and offered to bring us a new helping which we declined. We paid and left. Next experience. Went to have the breakfast special which was really nice. Got the bill which was crumpled up and straightened out. I immediately thought something was not right. I checked the time of the invoice which was printed almost an hour earlier. Clearly the waiter used a bill from a previous table / Customers I came home, called the restaurant, spoke to Francine who I believe is the manager/ owner. took pics of the invoice and my card transaction and sent it through to her. I only brought it to her attention because someone was clearly going to pocket the cash and I was doing so in the owner's best interest. She said she would investigate the matter and get back to me. LONG STORY SHORT. I AM STILL WAITING FOR HER TO GET BACK TO ME. Last experience. Waiter stank so badly of perspiration that we left. Guess we will be going elsewhere from now on..
Calistos is my favorite Portuguese restaurant.
Food terrible, service wonderful. The food was poor. Really, what they brought to the table for me was a disgrace. Tiny piece of improperly prepared fish totally over cooked. Pathetic. The waiter realising something was wrong sent the manager over. Got a small discount on basically a write off meal. Very disappointed. Sandile, the waiter, is; however, excellent and I commend him for trying to fix it. Partner's fish dish was also over cooked.
Owners have a rotten attitude, they cancelled our booking without even calling or sending sms or whatsapp. We arrived there for a special event and to our disappointment we could not celebrate our event at Calistos. At least be a bit more polite or explore other ways to contact the customer if cannot be reached. Another restaurant sends sms's to confirm bookings as clients cannot always be available to take calls which is perfect. Calistos on the other hand need to get with the age and to stop being so rude to customers.
Great service. Great food with very good presentation. Staff and managers very helpful. My favourite restaurant. Thank you. Food was excellent but now it is permanently closed. A new restaurant called elia has opened there.
The chef doesn't listen to patron instructions... requesting a full chicken be cut into 4 quarters means 8 pieces all the time... and the size of bread rolls just shrinked to a size of a eyeball
Best Portuguese restaurant.... Service was perfect....
Best Chicken in Alberton. Brilliant Monday eve specials. Great service, friendly staff.
GREAT service reasonable priced ,try the prawn special.
