What to Expect
Ocean Basket at Highland Park Mall is a seafood outlet where the service gets named almost review by review. Nothando is mentioned again and again, and Erika (February 2026) said Nothando was “so kind, professional, & helpful”. Pauline, Mary, Tanaka and Eve turn up just as often, each credited with quick, cheerful service.
The Kariba bream is the dish reviewers point to. Vinny (March 2026) called it “really tasty and cooked to perfection”, though the same visit had salty chips and prawns that needed a few more minutes on the grill. Idah (April 2026) simply “loved every bite of it”.
Grace (June 2024), a regular, still finds the food fresh and well prepared but wrote that “service needs to be consistent”, a rare note of caution among reviews that are almost uniformly enthusiastic. Ocean Basket Highland Park opens Sunday to Thursday 11:00 to 21:00, and Friday and Saturday until 22:00.
