Impulse

Address: 167 Seaview Drive, Tinley Manor Beach, Tinley Manor, 4300

Overlooking the untamed Indian Ocean on the lush North Coast, Impulse is famous for the unmistakable flavour of the 'pukka' (real) Natal Curry and has been welcoming and serving guests for 20 years.

Our scrumptious, authentic food and warm, friendly service is an expression of our customary Indian approach to life and epitomises traditional Indian culture in the zealous, colourful fusion of spices it embodies. Each delightful dish is freshly made and honourably prepared for your enjoyment, so we coax you to take your time and savour our carefully chosen dishes.

Not only do we excel at robust curries, we also consider the more fragile palate, offering beautifully prepared medium strength curries as well as succulent prawns off the grill, juicy steaks and tenderly grilled marinated fish.

Seating Capacity: 130

Al Pescatore is one of the oldest and still one of the most popular restaurants on the North Coast. The secret to their success, Al Pescatore owner Trevor Wolf believes, is the fact that they have been willing to change with the times. Having been in the area for 17 years, Trevor and his wife Jenny have delighted the taste-buds of roughly three generations of locals and holidaymakers. The restaurant started out in the
Boulevard Centre in 1989 as an Italian Trattoria. But because of the change in the market, the restaurant has evolved into more of a Mediterranean / seafood restaurant. And, as the market has demanded it, Al Pescatore has kept on changing.

About five years ago Trevor moved the restaurant to the beach - overlooking Clark Bay. Then he erected a wooden deck outside the restaurant where patrons may enjoy a relaxed meal while watching the surfers and dolphins play in the beautiful Indian Ocean . "We
have still retained the romantic, stylish feel inside the restaurant, but now we can also cater for a more casual crowd who want to come in for a light afternoon lunch in their shorts and slops," says Trevor.

Directions: Coming into Ballito on the M4 continue with the road that turns into Alice Road. We will be on the bend as the road swerves to the right.
