Their fried sushi was super nice 💯 really enjoyed it. For the main meal I had prawn pasta, it was a bit dry and bland but good. Also had chicken wings which are to die for 💯 as well as their whole chicken 💯 I also enjoyed the Cape G&T cocktail 💯

Great for Drinks, Skip the Tapas: Stellar service and ambiance overshadowed by underwhelming food. A top spot for drinks with impeccable service, especially on a bustling Friday. They're accommodating even without a reservation, quickly finding us a spot outside. Staff at the bar and throughout the restaurant were genuinely friendly and attentive. Yet, their food offering falls severely short. We sampled a range of tapas – croquettes, wings, calamari, meat – and each dish was a letdown. Poor quality ingredients and lacklustre flavours make it hard to justify the high price tag. Stick to drinks and enjoy the ambiance, but consider dining elsewhere.

Mpendulo has been so great…. If anything, I would not fault them on anything, I had just passed and I ordered a cheese cake for the celebration, the manager gave it to me for free… how kind. Really would recommend them.

Visiting Johannesburg for the first time from the USA and came across this beautiful restaurant. Everyone from the hostess, waitresses/waiters, and the owner were so kind and professional. Service was fast, the food tastes so good, and the drinks are amazing! The atmosphere is nice and chill, as well as beautifully decorated. I definitely recommend. 10/10

Let me tell you from arriving to leaving our waitress Yandiswa was sent from Heaven! She's definitely your girl to ask for when you visit! I celebrated a big milestone and decided to have a celebratory drink and sushi somewhere special! I really enjoy Nelson Mandela Square and heard La Parada recently opened! We made our way there and it was lovely - as one should we had tequila shots, followed by my first ever pineapple margarita, then the sushi (my fav) wowzer their sushi chef knows his ish and they even set it on Fire!! So amazing, I literally did a food dance! Thank you Yandiswa for your service and made us feel welcomed and special! Love from Dani and Crew 🌹

I recently visited your restaurant on Saturday, and I have to say that the ambiance was absolutely lovely. What really topped it off for me was the warm and friendly service I received from your hostess, Nwabisa. She made me and my son feel welcome and comfortable. The manager, Francis, was also a pleasure to deal with. All in all, I had a wonderful experience and I will definitely be back soon!
