    All in all it was a great night out with the ILIOS Travel team at SPYCED. The drumming was fun and easy enough thanks to the great communication and demonstrations by the drumming facilitator. The food was great and gave us a wonderful glimpse into the culinary art across Africa. Everything was flavourful and the portion sizes were ample. The in-house live entertainment made for a festive and jovial evening as well. They were very good at finding the balance between entertaining patrons during dinner, but not overpowering the atmosphere that one could not engage with fellow diners at your table. Excellent night out! Thanks to Richard Muller and the team for arranging this for us.

    We received a very warm welcome and had a fantastic meal. The value for money is excellent. One of the highlights was a workshop on curry spices, which came as a complete surprise to us! Prince showed us how to properly ‘toast’ the spices for a curry and blend them together. He shared lots of interesting information along the way. It was brilliant, thank you, Prince! We were blown away and will definitely be back!

    Was my first visit to your restaurant with my clients from the UAE. Our clients really enjoyed the drumming session. Will definitely be back and recommend your restaurant to future clients
