This was a cute little spot, a lot of cute African decor you can buy right at the entrance including furniture. It has such a home feel rather than a restaurant. The staff were so kind and welcoming, it felt like visiting a friend. I had the lamb chops, which were well cooked and seasoned.

Service was a little slow. One dish was slightly over spicy. We called in to reserve a table outside, on arrival we where told that we did not book a table outside. We had to wait for them to prepare a table, the person was not friendly. Where I notice that some couple with kids arrived without booking and got given a table outside. That's not acceptable.

I absolutely loved this place! What stood out the most for me was the variety in the kids’ play area — it really made the experience enjoyable and family-friendly. The food was delicious, and later in the day, when it got colder, the chai latte I ordered was perfect. The virgin cocktails were also really good. The waiter could have been a bit friendlier, but overall, our experience was superb. It’s a beautiful establishment, and we will definitely be visiting again.

Great place to bring your kids! It’s very nice and accommodating for both children and adults. We happened to visit during a reptile viewing event and even got to take pictures with some small snakes 😀 The food was great, my strawberry daiquiri wasn’t the best, I was a bit disappointed by that as it wasn’t well blended😔 and there wasn’t enough parking, had to park on the opposite side of the road. Very friendly service from our waiter Siya.
