I booked a table at this restaurant on Wednesday 17th July 2019 for 2 people to eat at 21.15 the following day, Thursday 18th July 2019. On the morning of Thursday 18th July 2019 I received an email confirming my booking. Unfortunately, when we turned up at the restaurant at 21.10 it was shut, lights out, roller blinds down. I can understand problems with refurbishments and building work overruns but there really is no excuse not to send 1 short text to let booked customers know.

3 of us went this Saturday the food was nice but could do with more options especially for kids. It needs beef sausage as other option apart from pork and beef sausage. As a whole good joint took me back home loved the chakalaka.

Visited with 2 friends on a Saturday afternoon. We chose the meat platter, the veggie platter plus a dish of spinach and pap. Wow! So many fabulous flavours and new foods to try. Bright, vibrant interior, friendly staff and delicious food and drinks. What more could you ask for. Will definitely be back for another visit.

The food was fantastic and introduced me to a cuisine I’d never tried before. The owner was a delight and his recommendations were spot on. We’ll definitely be coming back.
