Delicious food, wonderful service and unbelievable value on the early bird menu. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to return.

Excellent as always. Thankyou. Sarah Moores

First time at Chakalaka and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, first of all the ambience in the place was quite something, greeted by a friendly looking guy who kindly asked where I’d like to seat, the decor def stood out and it was def paying homage to South Africa. I ordered a crème Soda, it was def Lekker! The food itself which was the main reason for going to this restaurant did not disappoint. The curry was lovely only thing I would say is I would have liked it to be hotter (temperature wise) other people that I dined with also enjoyed their meals, The biltong Mac and cheese (this was divine) only shame it was such a small portion (please think about making this Mac and Cheese as a main (it’s delicious) Overall we enjoyed our food, music was cool, Service was good! an enjoyable experience all around. Keep it up!

Lovely food. Really nice staff. Great night.

Wow, delicious lunch Food was amazing, freshly cooked, looked amazing on the plate and tasted as good as it looked I went at lunchtime and it was quiet but the reggae music created just the right atmosphere

Good food, very friendly service, a really nice night out, thank you.

A lovely evening. Welcoming staff, great food & a good atmosphere. We’ll definitely be going back

Best place ever. Amazing food. Amazing staff. Go quite a lot and never ever been disappointed.

Fantastic food for our second trip to the fat loaf.

Best Italian I have been to in years! Sal the manager was so warm and welcoming. He made such a fuss of us and had us laughing the whole time. And the food was to die for! I have not tasted pasta that good since I was in Italy. The chef Rowland is extremely talented!

We had a lovely lunch yesterday at Giorgio’s . The food was very tasty but what made it was the lovely staff who looked after us beautifully !

Been here a few times for the pre theatre menu.Great service, good sized portions for a set menu and food quality excellent.Went as a group of 4 friends and all agreed it was one of the best Italian restaurants in the city centre

Great food - good service Only downside is I booked a good month in advance for 6.30pm … arrived around 6.20pm - only had the pre show menus available - said would need to book after 6.45 to get normal menu .., said that nothing was said at all when I booked .. but guy was having none of it so had to do with the small menu for the pre-show … Shame really as sort of ruined the night for us … as wasn’t going to watch any show …

Came here for a pre-show meal and had a fantastic meal in a restaurant that is just around the corner from the theatre and the train station. We ordered off the theatre menu - insalate caprese, tomato garlic bread, lasagne and risotto all delicious and plentiful portions. The restaurant staff were all so friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. We’ll definitely go back and I highly recommend this restaurant

The food is always tasty without fail and the service is always great. 5 stars all round. I am sure many customers return time.and time.again

Great food at a bustling and authentic restaurant. Repeatable… been a few times now.

Have had lovely meals here in the past, though sadly this time our party didn’t enjoy some of their courses. This was picked up by the management who offered alternatives, and we were not charged for desserts.
