“ Never disappointed at Kota Joe. Food is always delicious. Milkshakes are to die for. Kids menus are reasonable and they get to keep the cups the drinks come in. Overall good experience. A must. ”
“ The concept of eating in the car with a nice big screen makes it feel like a proper road house, the food was very good, the milkshakes were beyond from many other places I have tried they really are top tier and service is quick and friendly. The area is clean and well kept. ”
“ Good vibe and delicious trendy food, you can sit in your own car or in the restaurant ”
“ We enjoyed the meals, but I ordered cold drink to come first before the meals as I was thirsty but it took longer to come. The concept of ordering from the comfort of your car is interesting however the waiting period of around 20-30min for a meal is rather long and tiring and makes one think twice about coming to buy food here. Truly enjoyed my Jozi kota, it was tasteful and fresh. ”
“ We visited Kota Joe in Edendvale one afternoon without a booking, and they welcomed us right in. They offered us the choice of sitting on the first or second floor, so we picked the top for a better view and atmosphere. While waiting to order, I asked for a Sprite, but it tasted a bit off – I'd give it a 2/5. For my meal, I went with the ribs and wings basket combo, which was delicious and definitely a 5/5! The only downside was that it got cold quickly because a fan was blowing right on me, and there’s no air conditioning, but that didn’t bother me too much. My girlfriend ordered a grilled bacon burger, which she gave a rare 5/5! She’s usually tough to impress, so that says a lot. She also ordered a passion fruit crusher, which she enjoyed – 4/5 for that. The service was good overall, and our food didn’t take long to arrive – I’d give the service a 4/5, though there’s room for a bit more improvement. Before leaving, I decided to take a caramel shake and a Jozi Kota with bacon to go. Both were amazing, with the Kota earning a solid 5/5. Overall, we had a great time, and the food was fantastic. Would definitely come back! ”
“ We arrived just before they opened. The place was very neat and clean. The service was great too. I’m currently fasting, so I needed vegetarian options, they were able to assist by replacing the patty in the kota to a veg one. I highly recommend this place. The milkshakes they have are pretty good as well. ”
“ I loved their Kota, the service was good as well, they made sure we had parking as we wanted to dine there. The waiters attended to us very fast, l. The food was a bit pricey but I guess you pay for the experience. Overall experience we really enjoyed with my wife. ”
