    Was overall a very good experience. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. The restaurant is pretty and the food was very good, we enjoyed everything we ate on the 4 course menu and it was filling. The bottles of wine and bubbles are quite pricey for normal local brands which you can find in the shops for about R200 but at CYRA they are marked up to R800+ which I thought was a bit much.

    Highly recommended fine dining experience, not just the food (which is amazing), the entire evening was made special by the effortless class of the staff and naturally beautiful social setting.

    My friends and I had a great time celebrating our friend’s birthday dinner. The private room was perfect for our loud chats and laughs. The food was a 9 out of 10. The ambiance, oh my goodness, stunning.

    Cyra Houghton Hotel was the best place to host my event. Everything was up to my expectations. The staff was great. The service i received from Holly was the most professional and excellent service. From when I booked the venue up until the event day. I truly recommend this fine place for dining and hosting events 👌 ✨️
