My husband and I booked Karibu via an online reservation, and we were not disappointed. The food is varied, unique and good. Because I eat vegetarian, dining out can be difficult, but not here. I ate a vegan option featuring lentils, while my husband ate a variety game meal. It was delicious, and the attention to detail by our server was appreciated. The outdoor seating and surroundings were nice as well. I highly recommend Karibu if you're in Cape Town.

My family and I treated my dad to a Father's day lunch and received excellent service from the staff. I would like to say a huge thank you to Jason and Hazel (waiter) for making us feel super welcome and for making my dad's day.

We went to Karibu with an Hyperli deal... And what a deal...
The randeem was smooth,
Our waiter was super friendly, professional and full of good advises,
The food was good...
That was a great evening.
I just felt bad, as this is a good restaurant and only few customer were there - Covid obviously...
