    Excellent! There is some construction happening around the outside but don't let it stop you from an amazing experience.

    The food was a bit underwhelming, the pork belly was not tender but had good flavours, the steak could be much better, the wings were not good as hyped - they weren’t cooked well. Enjoyed the fish and broccoli. The service could be better, we had to call the waiters- they didn’t check up on us much for such a small place. The cocktails on the other hand were great! Would definitely go for drinks.

    Hi Ntsaki, Thank you for your in depth review. All points mentioned will definitely be looked into. Service is also extremely important to us, I will most certainly share this review with my team. We do hope to host you again soon.

    Excellent cocktails and food. Wished we could experience the inside which is why I can’t afford 5 stars. But we will be coming back.

    Hi Zanrik, Thank you for your wonderful review of Obscura. We are covering the outside soon! So we will have a bigger inside area! We do look forward to hosting you inside again soon!

    The table felt a bit cramped, but all in all, it was a lovely cosy experience. Our waiter was great and the music was top class as always! Thank you!

    The service was absolutely incredible, knocked it out of the park. The food was just as incredible and versatile. Will definitely be coming back again.

    We were not pleased with the food, it lacked seasoning and the plating was underwhelming,i think the menu can be better as well. The restaurant size is very small and clustered as a result the space in between tables is too narrow. The service from the waitrons and management is great, they checked up on us quite often. Ambiance is great,the music wasn't too loud and it was of great taste.
