Open every day, they have a regular Happy Hour with a range of South African drinks, from boozy milkshakes with SA cream liqueur Amarula  to unique cocktails like Rooibos MarTEAni and peachy Joburg Sunset, 2-4-1 in Happy Hour timings.

Visited Saturday May 27th and couldn't have been happier. Chose to have a table outside as the weather was lovely. Food was fantastic, I had the mixed meat sosatie (good amount of spice) and my wife had the malay curry. The staff pleasant and attentive. With being in at 5 we also caught the 2 for £10 on cocktails, bonus. Will definitely be going back to sample more mixed plates.

As a fellow South African I expected a little more Saffa food. Not everyone enjoys hot and spicy but since it is called Chakala I suppose it works. Maybe add some favourites like Bobotie, small black potjies with beef pot jie kos and so on. Overall not bad but expected more.

Fancied something a bit different and have lived nearby for years but for some reason never visited this restaurant before. The staff were lovely and food was delicious, we ordered two recommended dishes and were very pleased. A hidden gem that we will return to soon. Thank you

This is the second time I’ve been to Chakalaka, it won’t be the last. The food was lovely and the lady who served us was very understanding of my sons needs. We ate outside, as we had our dogs with us. It’s was really clean and nice to be out in the sun.

The food was absolutely amazing! The wors was soo tasty, well cooked and juicy! The chakalaka was also so good but it missed something. Service was top tier! Really enjoyed visiting this place! Oh and the music also, it honestly made us feel like we were home for a bit.
