First time here so server helpfully explained the customized order form. Burger was excellent! Noticed many Muslim patrons, found out later that all food is halal. Very popular spot with the locals.

We arrived and requested an outside table but we're told no as the empty table was for 4 and we were 2 however when it became clear I would leave we were seated. Menu was easy to follow and you mark it up yourself. I...asked for a removal of an item and this was easily accommodated. Burgers were a bit slow in arriving but they did seem busy with food although also a lot of staff. We had ordered cheese fries to share and they were tasty but could have been hotter. Hubby enjoy his beef burger and all the trimmings and I had chicken with avo and I felt there was a bit too much avo making it hard to eat. Also the chicken while tasty was a little stringy. Also just for info no alcohol. Overall though a tasty lunch.More

We have been to the rivonia roccomamas so we know what the food...should taste like. Melrose arch roccomamas is absolutely terrible. They give the franchise a very bad name.More

Worst service I have ever received. Manager is as clueless as his staff. Our waiter was arrogant and rude and had a major attitude. Staff were arguing amongst themselves in front of everyone in restaurant.

The restaurant is halaal certified. They have a variety of foods. Burgers, ribs, chicken wings, nachos and loads more. We were satisfied with all the food. The service is good, the manager and staff are friendly and hospitable. The waffles and milkshakes are really good.

Rockin' review, Mahomedsomayya! Thanks for the #RocoLove. Let's get together again soon.

Reviewed 10 December 2018

We went to see the Melrose Arch Christmas lights and decided to try this restaurant afterwards. Not a good decision. Its appears they cant cope with busy periods, or large tables. Additionally, as the weather was cold and windy we asked to be relocated inside...,which could not be accommodated because they were full (okay, thats fair). Although we kept asking while we were seated outside we later saw that other groups who came later of similar size were given preference inside (thats not cool). Ontop of that, the meal we ordered was not exactly what we ordered - the waitron failed to explain that the three smash meal we asked for is not infact three separate burgers but three stacked patties (we told her they were three people eating this meai - 1 adult & 2 small kids!?) We eventually asked for our orders takeaway and hightailed it out of there. Not a pleasant experience from a restaurant chain we have actually used quite a bit.More
