    A fantastic experience hosting Jade's 21st at Banana Jam! Excellent service, delicious food and a great, festive vibe! The efficiency in dealing with Megan and the team was a stand out for me. Good value for money and all round ease and enjoyment. Thank you to all involved, and especially Andre and Jethro for being super friendly, respectful and engaging on the night.

    Thankyou for making my son’s 21st birthday dinner so special. Excellent food and service, Andre our waiter was incredible, very helpful, always around, food arrived on time, absolutely delicious food and ambience, enjoyed the fun, relaxed vibe and music. Thankyou to Shannon and her team for organising tables for 21 people. Much appreciated. We need a Banana Jam Cafe in Joburg

    There was quite a long delay between myself getting my meal and my friends.I had already finished a starter and a main before my friends' food arrived. (I understand there was an issue with a grill at some point).

    We had such a great experience at Banana Jam. The food was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. A special mention to Caleb, who was an excellent waiter — attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back! Sonja

    What a lovely experience! It is definitely about the Caribean vibe, not a romantic evening out. The service and food were flawless... thank you.
