There’s comfort food, and then there’s pasta done right—and at the Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton, they’re serving up a dish that’s guaranteed to hit all the right notes: the Chicken Rigatoni special.
For R245, guests can dive into a bowl of perfectly cooked rigatoni, tossed in a rich garlic sauce that’s silky, bold, and unapologetically indulgent.
Add to that tender, grilled chicken, and a vibrant burst of tomato pesto, and you’ve got a plate that’s hearty, saucy, and downright irresistible.
- This is the kind of dish that feels like a hug in pasta form—the perfect pick-me-up for a long day, a celebratory dinner, or simply an excuse to treat yourself to something that tastes like it was made in an Italian nonna’s kitchen (with a Balalaika twist, of course).
Available at The Bull Run, Lords Bar, Destination Lounge & Bar, and through room service, this special makes sure every craving for pasta is covered, wherever you choose to dine.
