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

    the place looks great; the salad bar is amazing。 The cooked stews were tasty but the line to stand in to get your meat grilled is ridiculous especially on a busy evening。 You dish up the rest of your food then you wait in line for 40mins for the meat and by the time you are seated your food is cold and you lose your appetite。 I found the dessert bar to be extremely under whelming and everything tasted artificial。 I felt it was a complete waste of money and the experience ruined my sisters birthday celebration .

    The waiters ain’t so friendly and the service isn’t that great. You have to que for a very long time for the meat being braaied. I chose some game meat for braaing and left it as I couldn’t wait longer and when I got back it had been given to someone else. The issue of washing hands on entry and using the same towel as all other guests to wipe isn’t hygienic please reconsider.

    Food was amazing, high quality and absolutely worth the price. The band played really well, but a bit loud, making conversation difficult. Highly recommend this restaurant for large family events.
