A great little restaurant with warm and welcoming staff and great food too. Although we visited on a rainy evening the restaurant was full. The menu was short but well balenced and the wine list was also good. As we left an umbrella was waiting for us and we were walked to our cab so as to avoid getting wet.

We visited Nguni in February 2013. The decor is stunning and we really liked it. The starters were fantastic - really tasty and beautifully presented. I ordered steak medium rare and this caused a bit of a problem. First it was well-done and then it was too rare so in the end I gave up on it, but the rest... More

Cozy African restaurant that makes good food. A little pricey but a good treat when you go. They serve great freshly baked bread on arrival.

It is the second visit we made to Nguni - to celebrate a birthday. Only complaint is that I was left holding the phone line when trying to make a booking and merrily forgotten about whilst I heard the chattering in the background. Five minutes later I was able to phone again. Other than that, we had a great experience.... More

The restaurant had a great setting and wonderful art exhibition next door. The inferior is great and the ambience also good. The manager is very professional and manages the place with style. The service was average, I think the waiter could have been new. Food very average and no vow factor.

We were in Plettenberg Bay for 4 nights as part of our honeymoon and decided to try Nguni. We loved it so much that we went back again. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, hosting marvellous and so is the food. And to top it all, you pay the right amount for the quality you receive. If you are in... More

Didn't think this was anything special - in fact I can't remember much about it at all - which says it all! Nice interior courtyard though

We were recommended to this restaurant by the hotel.From the reviews we must have chosen an unfortunate evening. The owners had music on that night and the restaurant was packed even at 730pm.We were shown to an inside table rather than in the courtyard that had been specified.The service was very poor and the staff appeared very over worked and...
