    Not impressed

    I was expecting more from this expanding restaurant. The food is different but not impressive. There are different items but none stood out. I have tried twice and still not found the charm.

    Delicious but expensive

    Not for me

    I tried this place with friends. We had different types of food to try. This is not the type of food I like. It was loud too. I would not go again but if you are a foodie you should try it.

    I have been and this is definitely Americanized and toned down for us. I find it mediocre at best. used to be much better.

    They do. The Bobotie is outstanding and it's Curried Boca, Carrots, pastry top, and mango chutney. Also, the staff will remove meat from any fish and add extra veggies if you ask.
