Tried under the radar with my family, called earlier to reserve as they tend to be quite busy over the weekend. Was able to get a table reserved, arrived in time despite the traffic on Argwing’s Kothek that can be quite a thing. We ordered and food was ready faster than we had anticipated. We had the whole chicken made two ways, dry fry and wet fry. The chicken was amazing but had to add an extra plate of fries as what comes out it’s the chicken was not adequate. The play area is amazing other than the clown who sacred my child so much she just wanted to go home. Other than that, we had an amazing time served by Duncan.

Great place for family (and group) outings given the availability of a kids' play area and plenty of seating and parking space. The ambience is absolutely relaxing due to the choice of background music and surrounding greenery. Heaters are also available in case the weather gets chilly. Lavender was my waitress of the day and she was not only very friendly and attentive, but also helpful. I sat at the Coffee Bar and ordered the chilli Beef Samosas (served in 3's) and a Cafe Latte which was served just the way I like my coffee; deliciously hot and with 3 Digestive cookies on the side. I didn't feel the heat of the chillies in the samosas at all so the bartender gave me a chilli sauce which did the trick! Overall, I highly recommend UTR restaurant and I hope to visit again to try the main meals or the Pizza BOGOF offer which runs on Wednesdays.

Everything here is great and the best of all if you have children they have a place for the children to play and slides. It's a good place to dine with family.

We went for after church late lunch/dinner on Sunday. The place was a bit crowded but not in a way that made us feel stuffed. It did, however, make the service a bit busy and slow, but we were never left unattended for long. Someone always came by and made sure we were given some attention. The live band was a great addition and kept the ambience lively. There is a clean and safe playground on the premises, and it allowed my husband to enjoy our drinks and meals while the children frolicked away. I would highly recommend the place for its family-friendly environment. The food was decent but not quite as I expected in flavour and the meals arrived cold at our tables. However, the prices are fair for the generosity of their portions. I would return.

Surprisingly really good spot and food. We enjoyed their cheese burger & simple chips and sausage. We'll be back! New: we did indeed go back and it's still great! The mashed potatoes were disappointing but otherwise would still recommend it.
