    My experience at your restaurant was terrible, what is advertised online is completely different to what is actually there. Firstly, when booking was made I should have been notified that there will be an event. There was loud music being played and it was quite overwhelming. Secondly, the restaurant is publicised as a culinary experience of the eleven tribes of South Africa. This is untrue, the menu was below average with basic meals like pizzas, pastas and burgers. There was nothing about it that directed towards a culinary experience, we tried to enquire with the waitstaff about this and they could not shed any light on it. It was so bad, we left prematurely and decided to dine somewhere else. My biggest regret is paying the mandatory fee to reserve my booking as I did not get anything in return.
