Ilha - Kensington

Great food, freshly made so expect a 20 minute wait which is well worth it. I enjoy the pizzas in particular. An informal hang out where dogs and kids are welcome.

Really pleasent experience. Very friendly staff and great basket specials. 2 baskets of choice for R130 Mon Fri. Had the chicken and calamari basket, very fresh and well prepared. Also big portions even for the full price of R99 each (without special)!

Ilha Restaurant Bar is located at Milnerton lagoon beach you can get off at the Woodbridge MyCiti bus stop to avoid worrying about parking. I could tell that patrons were locals, so you can always count on their being a buzzing atmosphere.<br/ <br/ Review:<br/ <br/ Food: The food was standard, 'good ' at most. I recall that each of us ordered something different from the others. My niece ordered a chicken strips basket (it was gigantic), my nephew chose a ribs basket, boyfriend had a rack of ribs and I copied his order after seeing the chicken wrap I had initially ordered. To be honest, the portions were big enough to share and so the price was justified. The ribs fell off the bone and was tasty and tender. <br/ <br/ The reason for changing my order was because the wrap looked bland, and I wanted something spicy. I suppose you could say that I got my something spicy when I chose the chili poppers as a starter. Although the mains were average, the chili poppers were of the best I have ever had! It was so creamy on the inside, stuffed with cheese and cubed bacon, yummy!

My boyfriend and I love Ilha, we go and have a drink or a bite to eat almost every week. Our favourites on the menu are the margarita pizza and the baskets cheap and amazing! I'd also have to commend the staff on always being super friendly, especially Alex (he brings us our regular drinks as soon as we arrive! : : <br/

The restaurant is geared for locals who are relaxed and not in a hurry. The kitchen is very small and if there are too many orders at a specific time, they will not be able to serve you quickly. Accept that and you will meet many locals returning for the value offering. Some will expect you to share your table with their hungry dogs but apart from that, the value for money and genuine experience goes a long way to make this a good experience a good one that will make you return for more
