for anybody staying or visiting the Peermont Hotels Emperor`s Palace casino complex, Tribes has no peer in terms of great menu, exceptional cuisine & service with a huge simile, right from the heart. We always eat at Tribes every time we stay here in JNB & Tribes has never once failed to excel.

Succulent sizzling steaks, fresh delicious food & the waiters are fun and efficient, sometimes the managers come round to check everything's going well they seem to go the extra mile & treat every customer like gold. The atmosphere is great, I confess we often go in and say its someone's birthday just to hear them play those awesome drums &... More

I have eaten here twice and both times have been excellent. The value and quality fo food is phenomenal and while it is always very busy its well worth waiting for a table. I had the Prime rib which was huge and very good quality and value. If you are in the area well worth a visit but make sure... More

The food was very tasty, the service also was good. But when we asked for the check, the waiter insist to add 10% for service. I believe that the size of the tip is mine decision, not of the waiter!

This is my favourite place to eat when in South Africa. Great ambience, fabulous food, great variety and worth every Rand spent! (And pretty cheap when converted from Pounds). You have to book as it's very popular.

Tribes is an overpriced grill house receiving only average service/food for what they are charging you. Prices are for a 5 star restaurant which it is NOT! Wine list selectiion is okay, but again over priced. Service is average at best...had to wait 40 minutes from the finish of starter to main course..after 30 minutes of not seeing our waitress...

Delicious food, chicken is so tender, the burgers yummy (for the kids), great selection and very warm and busy atmosphere. I know this restaurant from Dubai but the original in South Africa is even better...loved the drums!
