Tried this small intimate restaurant on a whim for a birthday meal. So glad we did South African themed with unusual food on the menu ( take a look on the website)
Every dish was superb visually and exploded with flavours. The staff being very knowledgeable and friendly made for a fabulous dining experience as Danny would say on Rate My Takeaway (although they don’t do takeaway) I can only give it a solid 10.

Amazing place, small but cosy atmosphere, make sure to book in advance. Fantastic friendly service, our waiter Oliver was the very enthusiastic and explained all the dishes clearly and was a great help. The food was excellent and creative! Food for the adventurous, exotic meats like kangaroo zebra ostrich boar and crocodile depending on the season. Bit on the pricey side but quality and taste of food is definitely worth every penny!
We also came again for the chefs menu for the middle eastern theme and the food was extremely tasty and just the right sized portions. The dip selection and the charred

Nice small place that puts a South African flare on theirs food. We had the lamb and steak at our tables and they were prepared perfectly. The lamb was served in half loaf of bread, with a very tasty sauce. Steak was prepared nicely as order d and not over done. The fried chicken started was very tasty the size of the chicken was too small: just very small nuggets. The service was good and the place was quiet and clean. I would go again and try the other dishes if I was in the area.
