We ordered pizza with less cheese and were presented with pizzas that had alot of cheese. We complained and the pizzas were taken away. We assumed new pizzas were being made but appeared that the original pizzas were delivered again with a little cheese having...been removed. At the end of the evening we ordered 3 Irish Coffees but 4 turned up. The ambience is good and the food was acceptable.More

The food? Very good. Especially their steaks 😍👌🏾 Not to mention the cocktails! Super ! Fast service and the staff members are friendly. I’d give them a 10/10 because they have a sushi menu too

It’s a beautiful restaurant with a huge inner courtyard and interesting things to look at. The service was fast and efficient and the food was...delicious. It's definitely worth a stop!More

We stopped for lunch in Otjiwarongo on the way from Namutoni (Etosha National Park) to spend the night in Omaruru, a distance of about 430 km or 270 miles. The food was good with large servings. The courtyard was a nice place to sit. The...spaghetti bolognese sauce was slightly sweet which was also the case other places in Namibia.More

We ate here several times during our time in Namibia. Every time good food and friendly service. Convenient lunch stop location on your way from Etosha to Windhoek, for example. Had oryx burger couple of times, good value, big portion! Atmosphere is nice, too.

I went here with some locals and workmates and it was amazing. They ordered a meat platter, which was huge (servings in general are huge here) and I had the oryx stroganoff, which was the best stroganoff I've ever had. Just great food and nice...wine too.
