Incredibly friendly staff, the manager remembered us from 6 months previously. Great traditional South African Food.....really hardcore calories and flavour, none of your tiny plates of steamed vegetables here, this food is what built the Springbok Rugby Team FFS. This wonderful place is a must for a relaxing, delicous and totally laid back evening. No frills dining, just amazing flavours and the cocktails are to die for.
