    Thank you all at Spyced for a wonderful evening. Ashley and his crew provided a great time for us all to enjoy Cape Town at its best - life, colour, joy, great jazz and - oh yes - excellent food... We especially enjoyed the cooking demonstration. Looking forward to our next visit to Spyced!

    We had the most wonderful time at SPYCED! From the warm welcome the moment we arrived, to the incredible live jazz, every detail was exceptional. The food was absolutely outstanding—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. And I can't forget the unforgettable Spice Experience, which was such a unique and interactive highlight of the evening. Thank you to the entire SPYCED team for an unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing dining experience!

    Thank you to the entire team at Spyced for a truly wonderful experience. From the warm welcome by Manager Ashley to the attentive and friendly staff, we felt looked after from the moment we arrived. Our waitress Thato was lovely throughout; her introduction to the Cape Malay spice, complete with an engaging, aromatic “wake‑up” presentation was a highlight. Spyced’s fun, interactive elements make you part of the evening, not just a guest at dinner. The meal itself was incredible, compliments to the chefs for creating such a vibrant and delicious taste of Africa. We began the evening with the steady hand and artistry of Siphokazi, whose beautiful face‑painting added both charm and laughter to the experience. The drumming session was another favourite; we had so many laughs discovering just how tricky it is to keep pace with the rhythm. And the Level‑Up Jazz Band, with Harry and the team, created the perfect ambience, even inspiring a little dance moment. All in all, we’re grateful to the whole Spyced team for creating a memorable and special evening. We highly recommend this experience to everyone, locals and international guests alike. Go have fun!
