    Great experience overall . Food was great, entertainments was great. We were initially seated in back of the restaurant but asked to be moved to side where the band was playing. Our initial waitress was not as energetic as some of the others and spent more time with another group that was with a tour guide. However, there was a second waitress that made up for it and was very informative on the menu and chatted with us. I would go back.

    Wonderful experience with authentic traditional African food, entertainment, and ambience. We had the Bobotie and crocodile steak.

    Best meal I had in Cape Town. I wanted to try local food and our tour guide mentioned this place. It didn't disappoint. After seated, a lady came by and washed our hands then another paint our face. While we waited for our food, the performers engaged the audience with drumming. The food was delish. We ordered the lamb kebob, Kingklip fish, and Springbok steak. Must try when I'm Cape Town.
