The 300 seater Chiefs Boma African Dining Experience Restaurant, located in the tranquil indigenous gardens of the Indaba Hotel, Spa & Conference Centre caters for all tastes. Cuisine is truly African from the North African Moroccan Dishes to Koeksisters and Melktert from the Cape. With over 120 dishes, everyone will find their favourite.

The Boma also boasts a "Shisa Nyama" grill where our Chefs will prepare your preferred cut of meat, carefully selected by our on-premises butcher, to your specification – a great combination of Buffet and Tailor-made Cooking to suit all tastes. A variety of game meats including Springbok, Impala, Ostrich and the Boma Signature "Big 5 Kebab" is also offered.

Enjoy Sundowners or Craft Beer on the deck overlooking the Boma Dam featuring Soweto Gold On Tap. Meander through the Boma Herb Garden before sitting down to enjoy your meal to the sounds of the Resident African Marimba Band – and when all is done, enjoy a glass of red wine or roast a marshmallow over Boma Fire.

...a truly African Dining Experience

    Starters were a dismal selection. I requested to be seated outside got there table was not set up. Mains we were promised 12 african meats. Far from it. Dessert tasteless and felt like it was not fresh. Service slow and had to go find out waiter all the time. Won't be back in a hurry

    Our experience was very overwhelming. Firstly we booked at a cost of R345 per person and R300 for pensioners but instead was charged R385 per person and R345 for pensiioners. This raised lots of questions and even though we did pay it is very unethical for a restaurant with such high regard to exercise such unprofessional services. The Food without a doubt was of high standard but cannot be said about the service we received. Our waiter was absent most of the time and I had to personally clear our table by removing plates which I put on an empty table next to ours. One of the ladies ordered a chocolate milkshake and had to return it due to the fact that it was a watery mess. I paid R80 for a long island icetea that came in a normal glass filled with lemons which was perculiar as no lemons are suppose to be used for the cocktail in question. I really wish I had a better experience and unfortunately cannot commit to recommend the resuraunt but hope my review will allow Management to address these concerns and improve on giving your customers the best value for their money.
