    Refreshing atmosphere with a vast variety of shops and banks. Parking space is a lot with 3 levels covering a large distance. The place is wheel chair friendly with elevators just outside each entrance. A decent shopping place for all middle class people and atmosphere can be inspiring to people who want to start a business.

    Had to rush to the bank and couldn't have chosen a better place to pop into for my early caffeine jab and breakfast Wimpy. The place was peaceful not sure whether it's because it was still early in the morning but loved the quietness. It is also clean. Too many stores available. The mall is big however, securities are there in large numbers to guide you for directions to stores. Covid-19 protocols adhered in all stores. No mask no entry.

    I just love spending time at Lakeside Mall. The malls layout is outstanding and i often spend my me-time just walking through the mall. To me personally it relieves my stress levels and boosts my mental health. Well done to the architects, management, staff, car guards, security guards, cleaning staff and every single employee involved and working at the different stores. You're excellent.

    After so many years, the ship still standing. I used to shop here few year ago, it brings up old memories traveling by trains. Still beautiful inside and out. Loved it.

    Not bad . But the beauty of the lake is gone . Water vegetation has completely destroyed the beauty of the mall . Its no more Lakeside.Maybe renaming it to something else would be better.Unless of course if the man made vegetation is cleaned out.

    Lakeside mall never disappoints, employees from all shops are kind, the mall is always clean, you get everything you need there, they are also improving security at entrance and exit. I love it

  • 4/5 Kavisha R. 1 year ago on Google
    I got to lakeside mall on a daily basis as I live near by. The security is highly proactive and makes sure everything is running smoothly and each customer is safe. Lakeside mall doesn't have enough shops to fulfill our desires which is why there are not a huge amount of customers there. The hygiene within the facility is up to standard. The only issue I may have is the restaurant's quality of food as I did have an issue with two of the restaurants there yet it was dealt professionally and satisfying. Overall I will say that lakeside mall is a professional, ethical and interesting place to go to and majority of a customer's needs are met.

    Really convenient because I work 5 minutes away so I can easy top up on groceries, purchase a last minute gift or buy something to eat during lunch. However, there's no gym, no cinema and not that many restaurants which is quite unfortunate.

  • 3/5 ilanka van e. 3 years ago on Google • 25 reviews
    You can find almost any store there. Some stores have amazing deals, there are grocery stores, clothing stores ranging from affordable to expensive, you can buy electronics there or even stuff for the home. Getting tired you can rest at one of the many different restaurants. Unfortunately it's just extremely busy, you struggle to get around especially in the shops and some of the shops are just really dirty.

  • 4/5 Shaz B. 5 months ago on Google • 24 reviews
    Very big center and lots of walking to do!!! SARS offices way too small and pensioners don't get preference at all. No seating provided outside. Stood for 1.5hrs before going inside and sitting for another 1.5hrs. Nasty experience for a 66 year old and still have to go back again in Jan. 24! Dreading it but suppose must just bite the bullet.

  • 3/5 Nonkululeio H. 3 years ago on Google
    The mall is really compressed and makes it hard to deal with social distancing. Its clean and adhered to the covid19 protocols but it could improve on the social distancing

  • 4/5 Vusumzi M. 3 years ago on Google
    The Mall structure is designed very well. Creates a very good shopping experience. Secure free parking. When it rains though, it's a bit of a nightmare on the outside exit as water doesn't drain very well thus creating a bit of flooding. But this is not necessarily the Malls problem but City Council.

  • 5/5 Brian M. 3 years ago on Google
    Lakeside mall has everything under one roof. Avoid it around social grant as its packed. Other than that, great view and the service is also fantastic

  • 5/5 Sikhumbuzo Daniel N. 3 years ago on Google
    Convient shopping mall. It's situated right across the water with some part of it being on non moving old ship. It's really fascinating. One of the best in Africa. Has lot of shops from retail shops to the different banks and variety of restaurant.

  • 1/5 Janet du T. 3 years ago on Google
    Bad service. Policy states a 15 day return, which is acceptable. But should have a little bit of grace period for returns over the festive season. Not everyone is at home and able to return stuff the do not meed, which are mot opened and can be sold again. Poor service from assistant as well as the service department which I had to phone myself!!

  • 3/5 melusi d. 3 years ago on Google
    Good but don't go there on a Saturday. In month end.

  • 3/5 Sonic F. 3 years ago on Google
    A sad old lady of a mall. Must've been beautiful years ago. Now it's just a tarnished remnant. It's got security all over but they must be bribed by the pickpockets & thieves, who are as thick as fleas in the area & the mall. What a shame. Microcosm of the country I suppose. But not impossible to rectify if the will was in the owners. If this was a ship, it's be rotting in an alligator infested swap, with only your imagination which could beautify it

  • 3/5 Ntuthuko B. 3 years ago on Google
    Super full on the two occasions I've been, but decent otherwise. I've only been to a couple shops here, and unfortunately Covid-19 protocol could have been better implemented.

    Convenient, I was able to get everything done under one roof .. however it'd be amazing if Lake was open again

  • 4/5 Lefa D. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a good place to find your basic necessities, food, medical and clothing. No flagship stores and lack of entertainment can make it quite boring. It's quite spacious and very breathable, easy to navigate too. Fantastic doughnuts at Lazees.

  • 3/5 Nolusindiso Anthea K. 2 years ago on Google
    The building itself is a work of art, I would give 8/10 to the architect and design. Shopping at the mall is convenient and pleasant overall. However there is always room for improvement, access to the 2nd floor (restaurants and Pick n Pay) is limited because it can only be through that one lift and one set of escalators, otherwise one has to use Entrance 5, something has to be done with that. I do not dispute growth and expansion, I am pleased with the introduction of another giant retailer (Pick n Pay) to compete with Shoprite (formerly Checkers) and it had done well to open up employment opportunities however it came at a cost to the entertainment sector in the mall, the closure of the theatre. The mall can do more to accommodate, cater for and include their pedestrian patrons, crossing the busy Voortrekker Street with groceries to the rank is risky, unpleasant and dangerous to our children, the mall can look into investing in a pedestrian bridge linking the premises and the rank, I mean it is the mall's customers who would benefit, this would show that the mall values their lives and patronage. Otherwise it's a beautiful receptive place, the last Gem of our dying city, Benoni.

  • 1/5 Adrian S. 2 years ago on Google
    Poor shopping experience, Covid protocols are not adhered to. 5 to 10 people in the elevators, very busy, security not doing there jobs. pickpocketing and card cloning are serious problem

  • 4/5 Shaheen M. 2 years ago on Google
    I like the atmosphere of the mall and it's architecture. Especially the lakeside. Very safe and have all the shops and food services.

  • 3/5 Static L. 2 years ago on Google
    Lacking in a variety of stores. Mainly has clothing and food stores. Great for a in and out visit. Not great for long stays.

  • 5/5 Sublimeboy E. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Ben “Dlamini” S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place for shopping all stores are available

  • 4/5 Sharon Viljoen S. 2 years ago on Google
    The mall is clean and well maintained. I wasn't there long and haven't been there in a long time so was impressed with the all over look of the place.

  • 4/5 Dr S. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a cool mall by the lake with a beautiful view.Though I've know it for 17 years still looks clean and well taken care off,with a variety of shops,Just 2 flows but quite stretched out.So gets a star for convenience,better signage would help but guess compensates with the search screens by entrances.

  • 4/5 A H. 2 years ago on Google
    This mall can get really over crowded at times. I only visit the mall for the pick n pay now and then because it is like 10 min from my home. Other than that I cannot give any detailed comment with regards to any other establishment within the mall.

  • 1/5 captain s. 2 years ago on Google
    Poor shopping experience. Lacking covid protocols, nobody by the entrance to ensure that sanitizing takes place. The shopping centre is extremely busy, the security guards at the escalators are busy with ladies and are not checking that two people maximum in the escalator. Very limited options for food.

  • 2/5 Rita R. 2 years ago on Google
    Need better monitoring on parking. You never know of it's safe to park

  • 5/5 Lady B. 2 years ago on Google
    Over 50 stores to shop from, be it classy and stylish or casual you get it there with a nice view to the river when having a dine in at Wimpy or morning coffee

  • 4/5 gordon e. 2 years ago on Google
    This mail located on a dam in Benoni, Gauteng is one of the prettiest looking mails I have seen in South Africa. As it blends itself into its environment. The mail is in the shape of a fairy boat. Also it provides customers with such an array of shops to shop at. While there, I spent a bit of time at the Spur Restaurant and would like to say, thank you to the staff there. They went out of their way to make me comfortable even though I went there to do work on my laptop. Big up to the Lakeside Mall and the Spur Steak Ranch in the mall. Definitely see the mall and Spur again.

  • 3/5 Cliff C. 2 years ago on Google
    Nothing much to do at the mall. Lack of foods Just the wimpy was great.

  • 4/5 Elaine K. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Yvonne S. 2 years ago on Google
    Always enjoy 😉 shopping 🛍 there. Oh, & hey check out the Lakeside Car Wash, Opposite Mall, as well as it was so efficient & was the actual reason I dashed into the mall! 💛🌹

  • 5/5 JOE B. 2 years ago on Google
    I loved the place. Came for the holidays in Benoni and decided to come here and get a charger and some snacks. And also to use the service of the Absa Bank in the mall.

  • 4/5 Michael S. 1 year ago on Google
    It is one of the biggest malls around Ekurhuleni and it gives you a wide variety of stores, restaurants to choose from. It's safe and secured from criminal activities plus the community itself has each other's backs. The outside area also provides a number of stores and fast food restaurants. This is one landmark to visit for sure.

  • 5/5 Gilbert H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice mall well organized, secured and clean. Shopping dining and cinemas with all the needed extras you can find everything there. Accessible area with plenty of parking.

  • 4/5 Martin B. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean and neat. You will find plenty of stores to satisfy almost all your needs. There are some good restuarants for when you are hungry. My experience was pleasant and would reckommend Lakeside Mall to all the locals to support their community.

  • 5/5 Prince P. 1 year ago on Google
    It has a wide range of brands on different floors, it would be a good idea if you take a tour first before you buy, get the full experience of the place itself.

  • 2/5 Craig P. 1 year ago on Google
    Centre is dated. Needs a update. Lakes around the Centre not in a good state. Centre should use the lakes to its advantage by placing restaurants to over look the lake and clean up the lake.

  • 4/5 Paul G. 1 year ago on Google
    Had not been here in years. Nice face-lift to the mall. Very busy, shops seem to be smaller and cramped though. Miss the view of the lake, like the good old days. Plenty shops to keep you busy, most only open at 9 on the weekend it seems, even the restaurants. So of you get in early, be prepared to wait.

  • 5/5 Chaudé W. 1 year ago on Google
    Mall is very clean but can use more guidelines to where shops are situated. Havent been to a store there that didnt have friendly staff and they are always helpfull.

  • 2/5 rohinee k. 1 year ago on Google
    Very deceiving from Google pics. The lake is covered with hyacinth and efforts to remove being implemented. Security make you feel edgy and uneasy as we felt followed around.

    Big mall, lots and lots of shops, it has all I want, enough and clearly visible security guys, and they are very helpful, the mall is clean and has enough parking. Most shop are operational even during load shedding. Love it a lot. Taxi rank is nearer.

    Was at Choice Clothing Lakeside Mall today, thank you for the two ladies working there running after us on our way out after done some other shopping asking if we were at Choice earlier. Giving us an article that accidentally wasn't put in my bag. So nice to still get such honesty in today's life. We really appreciate it. 🙏

    Had a very bad experience, asked my wife to withdraw cash at the Capitec atm and somehow the machine did not give money out but it has deducted from my account. I am just saying people must be aware when they use these machines. Anyway as of the mall it’s very beautiful with lots of shops to choose from. Besides what happened to me it’s still a nice place in Benoni.

    nice Experience yet some services lack, there's more fashion shops and food shops than there are other necessity shops, it could be an economical structure to lure more money in than a public facing setup to accomodate most services for everyone.

    Was not the best time to do my normal run about .. But yah the Pensioners nd school kids holidays AND Offcause That Nasty Loadshedding Evil surely impacted the otherwise day ..

    Went to Telkom at the Lakeside Mall but disappointed as they advertise phones and packages in their brochure which they didn't even have, not even in Telkoms Warehouse. I see this as false advertising as we then had to travel all the way to East Rand Mall to get the phones at more expensive packages.

    Only one problem! If problem on the roof near Cash Crusaders and it's loadshedding you struggle just to get out of the parking bay to go to the exit took me almost 35-37 min to get out...

  • 5/5 Michael N. 11 months ago on Google
    Security is impressive all the necessary shops and restaurants are available. During load shedding most shops closed down including the ATMs😏

    It's a lovely experience to be in this mall. Just a thought ... consider a dummy battery-powered mini-train that can be used by kids and adults, at a minimum charge for both fun and need. This is because the mall is quite wide from end to end. The elderly and kids will find it really beneficial.

    Very nice Mall, have been there for the first time, visited Spur with some friends, food was good, but the Cheesy Garlic Prawns was very oily and the prawns were very dry, it was nothing close to the cheesy garlic prawns I have in Durban. Try to improve on this guy's.

    The fact that the mall was built 33 years ago is shocking because it STILL LOOKS THE SAME. What's changed is obviously the retail stores inside other than that it should be regarded as a museum. It is nowhere near being modernized, lack of investment to the center has negatively impacted Benoni as a whole. The lake has been invested for years, vendors and store's outside the shopping center has higher traffic than the mall. Some serious intervention is needed as Malls in Mpumalanga and Limpopo are 10 years ahead of Lakeside mall because it's put itself in a difficult position for any type of expansion. This Mall is only good for certain clothes, accessories, tax issues and Dischem. Shopping for groceries here is not a good option because the lack of options is disappointing and there isn't a store with a massive item list

    Nice mall, like all of them. Quite busy for a Tuesday, midday. Has everything, all the shops and presentable, Visible security presence in the car park and in the mall.

    We visited Spur Lakeside Mall. The service we got from the waiter was exceptional. Kamogelo is a true ambassador for Spur, he instilled my 40 year old Spur client service... The good was top-notch. I cannot fault this Spur in any way.. I stopped going to Spur due to bad service, bad food (cooking for a mass market) and arrogant attitude.. They do not understand the value for money that you expect for the food or visit is for a special occassion. I will now only visit Spur Greenstone and Lakeside Mall..

    There's only 1 word to describe this mall, convenient! It has all the shops one would need to get everything you need. I guess this explains why it's always SO busy. Stores are in close proximity to each other, so you don't tire out from walking from one end to another looking for 1 store. I also find the bargains here are way better than any other mall.

  • 5/5 Pele M. 9 months ago on Google
    The mall is a favourite for lots of people, always packed, but clean, otherwise parking secured, guards everywhere deserves a 5 star ratingd

  • 3/5 Misheck M. 5 months ago on Google
    It's good but the Lack is closed by weeds . Water Management must do something quickly to stop the weed from closing the lake. The view of the mall is no longer visible according to it's previous standard

    Love this little mall, I found everything I needed there. But all the years I've been going there, I've never seen so much beggars, filthy people walking about and asking for money. Even in the shops. Can't security prevent them from entering the mall?

    If there was an option for o stars I would literally select that Spitz. Not them giving me a dirty shoe and now saying I should drive to Festival Mall to exchange.
