Enjoyable night out with my family. The food was tasty and the service was wonderful. I did think it was unusual for ‘sides’ not to be included…who wants a curry without rice, or a piece of salmon with some sort of accomplishment???
I was also annoyed that there was a service charge…I wasn’t made aware of this it was just slapped on the bill and I didn’t want to make a fuss as it was a birthday treat for my son but it would have been nice to k ow that it was going to happen …..maybe it is written some where on the menu and I’ve missed it?? Anyhows…I would quite happily have left a tip as the service was amazing but to be honest it’s things like that that put me off going back to places.

Best SA restaurant in the South! was down for the weekend with friends and had a brilliant night and very tasty meal. Will be travelling down down from London just for the food! Please open one up here, it would do so well and there is nothing like it here! Can’t wait to go back 🙂

Great food, great atmosphere. Was with a party of 6 on Saturday and the restaurant had a great buzz, staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Had an array of food between us from, currys & meats to fish and veg. Everyone left very happy and full. Already booked again for next weekend!

Have visited several times since the restaurant opened and can say I’m a big fan of the Oxtail and Spiced Lamb potjies. Perfect for this horrible cold weather we’ve been having.
Delicious food and great service!

We were there just after it opened. Decor great but don’t sit near the door – huge cold draught. Lunch menu was rather limited and having lived in SA for some years I found that there was little taste and the portions were very small (and quite expensive). And whoever heard of a babootie without meat!!! Very disappointing

What a disappointing experience despite the pleasant ambience of this restaurant. The attending staff provided no information regarding the menu or specials available for the evening. As a South African, there appeared to be little understanding of the culture and cuisine of South Africa or the continent of Africa in general. Being from Durban and having ordered a Durban curry, the dish served was lacking in spices and essentially undelivered on so many levels. Rice had to be ordered as an extra side dish??? Also, it was very concerning to be charged with an ‘optional’ service fee without anyone discussion from our waiteress in this regard? It would be useful to receive some feedback from the management of the restaurants in the near future, especially since no management personnel appeared to be present or available on the night of our visit.

Really disappointing after such a huge hype. Very small portions, over priced & tasteless. Would not recommend.

What a shame…dissapointed in the quality of the food. We had a Beef Durban curry (watery, tough lacking flavour) sides extra cost. Served in a Potjie pot. Translated means Tiny Pot, and that it was. The Milktert was minute…as big as 2 teaspoons. All a bit “Tapas” style at HUGE prices. I just HATE it when a restaurant adds on 10% as a matter of course!!!…Verdict = Over priced, small servings, weak flavours, lacks authenticity in food, great Decor. Ethnic Zen.
