Muslim Menu

Disappointed..... Loved your dishes that contained bacon/ham. Typical Italian food ingredients ! Do you realise that SA is still predominantly a Christian country? Muslims make up less than 2% of the South African population, and yet you make the other 98% follow their dietary requirements. I lived in an Islamic country for many years and put up with all their Muslim requirements (Halaal, alcohol, prayer calls, Ramadaan....) because I was living in THEIR country! Sadly I, my family and friends, will no longer be supporting you. Just as we no longer support Debonairs (**** bacon ie macon), Burger King (no bacon whopper). Thank goodness for Spur, Wimpy and the likes. I hope your parent company doesn't own them too, and change the menu. What about the selling of alcohol now? Have you banned that too? I hope a lot of people read this and take the same stance! Thanks

Wow...I must have touched a nerve, as I posted a follow up comment on your facebook page, but I see it was deleted shortly after its posting, and now you've blocked me. Guess the truth hurts! Anyway, those reading this, here is the posting that was deleted....(and do yourself a favour, go have a read at their facebook reviews https://www.facebook.com/pg/ColCacchio/reviews/?ref=page_internal) --------------------------- Dissappointed that you have not bothered to comment on my HelloPeter review dated 31st May'18 at the recent conversion of your Canal Walk branch to a completely Muslim Menu. I've since seen a report today on IOL that your Atholl and V&A Waterfront stores have likewise been completely converted to a Muslim Menu. What can a say? Nonetheless, I've copy and pasted my HelloPeter review here. I'm am also extremely delighted to report that I walked past your Canal Walk branch last Thursday the 26th June'18 and noticed less than a handfull of tables occupied. A far cry from pre-Muslim Menu days when you had to dodge customers coming in and out of the restaurant. Best wishes and may these specific restaurants continue to fail. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Muslim Menu A review of Col'cacchio on 31 May 2018 Muslim Menu Disappointed.....
