Experience was great, service excellent, love the fact that the play area was so clean keep up the sanitization and good work. Tantalizing food tastebuds was yearning for more although the tummy couldn't handle too much but still licking lips and fingers lol.. will most definitely calling again!

The food is absolutely great and reasonably priced. They also have some great specials for those on a tight budget. Service is excellent. My waiter Zandile/Zanele (didn't hear her clearly because of the mask) was also really attentive and gave us great recommendations. More

When I entered the waiter welcomed us with a warm heart. Afterwards she brought our drinks but we've been waiting 25+ minutes for her to take our orders for our food. There is also no toilet signs unfortunately. More
