    The service is insanely slow. I had the worst hake in my life! The chips were oily and salty. I would only come back for the bao bun.

    Hi I was so excited to experience your restaurant but was quickly absolutely disappointed!! I made a booking for 1pm on Saturday 5th March 2023. I even confirmed a message that was sent in the morning. Only to get to the restaurant and no one even acknowledges us standing and waiting to be seated, after a few minutes of watching the staff having a discussion a waitress exits the door and tells us they will help us. Eventually a waiter comes to us and says they are having staff issues. Then we witness another table of two complaining to the manager that they have been seated for over an hour and not getting service. The manager didn’t seem interested and didn’t give them any reassurance. How appalling to witness all this, I decided to leave. Not sure if I will ever come back!!!

    Kali Restaurant responded on Sun 05 Mar 23:
    Hi Rosetta, We humbly apologize . The issue was loadshedding, it blew our servers which caused us to close Friday night until electricians came in the next day. It aslo affected equipment in the kitchen due to a power surge. Electricians came in late which frustrated staff who didn't want to trade until it was sorted as it would cause them to manually take down orders and ask patrons to pay via eft which was not ideal.we manged to resolve the issue with service providers and get power back. We have inverters and we had issues with the cells etc. Unfortunately we only were able to get everything sorted late afternoon. Power was back but systems still had to reboot . Staff decisions were whether to close rather than give a bad experience for the customer. We do apologize and we hope you do come back to experience the True Kali.unfortunately load shedding has caused a number of issues for small businesseses and even the service providers we use. Kind regards

    Kali Restaurant responded on Sun 05 Mar 23:
    Hi , Samantha please accept our humble apologies. Unfortunately due to load shedding the systems and the lights were out. The staff were unable to work and were frustrated that the servers were down as it causes major issues in service when customers ordered..we were closed the night before for the very same reason until electricians were able to get oower back to the restaurant.This was resolved mid afternoon saturaday and we were able to trade by 3pm . Please accept our apologies as load shedding and the issues it causes does impact businesses We would like to invite you back for the true kali experience
