The Core Revisited
A bit over a year ago we put up a new web page for The Core shopping centre in Sunninghill, Sandton.
We have now done a full update and included a panoramic photo of the centre.
Since we put up the page, Miguel's Restaurant has become Zio G,
reviewed below (with much the
same Mediterranean cuisine), the juice bar and the dry cleaners have changed
hands; a Jetline Print, Thai massage, and a computer shop have moved in.
The Dream Body Fitness gym is still going strong, as are the swimming school and the Indian
Restaurant, which has still not discovered email. The car-wash seems to
have disappeared, and the venue hire company has changed. Not that new, but
worth a mention, is The Meat Lounge. This offers African Shisha Nyama: Lamb, Pork, chicken, Boerewors, Beef, Ox Liver and Mogodu slow cooked on the braai, with side dishes like pap, dumplings, or samp; open till late (and quite rowdy by some accounts).
Two other places have tried Shisha Nyama as fast food, and folded: Nearby in The Square Sunninghill, and in Rivonia Junction.
Another venue in a similar niche is Rivonia On Deck,
at 17 Autumn Road, off Rivonia Road, Rivonia, specialising in African dishes and matching clientele.
Visit our page for The Core here.

Restaurant Review by Judith Back to top
**** Zio G, The Core, Leeukop Road off Kikuyu Road, Sunninghill:
After going around restaurants in Sunninghill that we hadn't visited, we
found Zio G in the Core. This place has changed ownership a lot. It has
also caused noise problems in the past :-). However this night, we got excellent
service from Lerato plus my favourite wine, Buitenverwachting
Buiten Blanc. Somehow, I need to find smaller portions of Calamari Salad. Or, in fact, anything else. My partner's chicken breast was consumed with vigour!
This is a very good restaurant with excellent service.
Contact Details for Zio G Craft.

"Yes. I have 'buy Polo disorder'."
