    Eleven Tribes needs to train their staff, use the freshest most delicious ingredients and showcase our African cuisine. The venue is stunning, but the food and service really is not up to scratch. Far too much oil and margarine is used in the kitchen. Several items were out of stick and the wait staff have no idea was they are serving and how it tastes. The oysters were stunning, the sauces they were serves with less so. Come on guys, you can do better.

    Hi Donovan, thank you for your honest and constructive feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed the setting but we’re sorry that the food and service did not meet expectations overall. Your comments regarding ingredient quality, preparation, and team training have been noted and shared with both our kitchen and front-of-house teams. As a new restaurant, we are actively refining these areas to better reflect the standard of African cuisine we aim to showcase. We appreciate you taking the time to share this with us.

    I ordered the Norwegian Salmon meal. The salmon was overcooked & incredibly dry. It was also paired with green beans & kidney beans. Overall, a very underwhelming meal. Did not enjoy the food. But the service was excellent.

    Hi Sino, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the dish did not meet your expectations, this is certainly not the standard we aim for, and your comments have been shared with our kitchen team for review. We’re pleased to hear that the service stood out, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to highlight that. Your feedback helps us continue improving, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better dining experience.
