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

    I booked and paid in full well in advance for a specific place with Maxwell and Mary which was given to another group on our arrival. When I queried it with Maxwell on the day he simply say they were a bigger group. It is immaterial as I have booked that spot more than 14 days in advance and paid in full with booking. We were placed right next to the stage which was absolutely impossible to talk to each other as the music and other patrons was so loud it was horrible. When booked I specifically asked for liquor bills to be split for each order individually. This was not the case and I had to pay that bill in full too. Against my specific arrangement with the staff. It was not the pleasant experience I have paid for well in advance. I will definitely not book another group or guests with Chiefs Boma ever again.

    The entertainment was the highlight, the marimba group was awesome! The food was also good! We do wish that you add more traditional dishes like steamed bread, samp and beans. But otherwise the meat selection was awesome, very good!
