Quarnell L.March 1, 2013The roti is like soup with a flat fried bake. You will be disappointed if you are expecting a Trinidadian style roti.
🚍DP "The Flx 1975"🚍 PretlowJuly 26, 2010The Staff is cool and the food is very very good! Yebo Burger with Cheddar Cheese was FANTASTIC! and Damn good Moheitos!
NabeWiseAugust 30, 2011South African food with a super awesome ambiance. Interesting dishes and drinks. A little pricey.
Tatiana DorochinaOctober 19, 2013Good ostrich carpaccio and lamb chops. Cornmeal and cabaggey sides are blah.
Bianca LamSeptember 12, 2012Get the Ostrich Carpaccio and wings as your appetizer. DELICIOUS - Your welcome :-)
Michelle GMay 19, 2012Make sure you have tons of time. Service is as slow as it gets. Wings and curry are delicious.
Jhokania D.July 6, 2014Although the host that attended us was great, our waiter(s) was awful. We had a total of 3 diff ppl serving us food, & they never checked on us. I had the lobster tail - not a fan. Ribs were good.
Jabari PedżDecember 30, 2011Try to get an end table because the seating is tight. Make sure to grab the servers attention because they will forget you.
Darrin Benjamin MaxwellNovember 4, 2011Oh boy, the lobster tail in butter cream sauce....not the same as when I had it a year ago, but always sumptuous.
Nyasha_NicoleMay 10, 2013Wooo wee Foursquare just gave me 10%...loving my entire meal and the service
Freda MoonJune 8, 2013It's a bit pricey for the portion size, but I'm partial to the lamb curry roti.
Anna DApril 6, 2015The wait was sooo long, we did get free drinks on the house but man, 45 minutes really?
Jevaun HowellNovember 23, 2010This place is AWESOME. Do yourself a favor and get the Mulva pudding for dessert. SO GOOD!
Daniel L.February 25, 2011Try the lamb bunny chow and the wings! Prepare for a kick of pepper with the wings though!
MixedBunnyMarch 20, 2011Service was disappointing; however, I had the lamb dish + guava cosmo. Both were v good! Loved the ambiance
50% off via scoutmob. Get the babotie & chocolate indulgence
Good food, good vibe, done in true South African spirit!- Bonnie EisenmanFebruary 18, 2017Went here for dinner once, and it was great. Came back for brunch, which was disappointing. Waited over an hour for our food. Poor service.
