    We thought we were just going to eat some delicious food - didn't expect to learn some drumming or be treated to traditional face painting whilst listening to an excellent jazz band whilst enjoying outstanding service. Then at the end pushing tables back to diners and staff sing and danced together. Give yourself time if you go to enjoy this special place. Amazing experience.

    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.
