    We arrived slightly late and unfortunately missed the drumming, but from the moment we sat down, the experience was fantastic. We were warmly welcomed by our lovely waitress, who took the time to introduce us to the menu and set the tone for the evening. The meal began with a beautiful spicy soup that immediately set expectations high, and it only got better from there. The 12-course experience was incredibly well thought out, with each dish offering layered, complex flavours that kept things interesting throughout. While all the dishes are Cape Malay inspired, each one felt very unique, and the menu catered to a wide range of tastes without losing its identity. The standout for me was definitely the dessert – completely unique and the perfect way to end off an already exceptional evening. The atmosphere really elevated the experience as well. The smooth jazz complemented the meal perfectly, and the décor struck a great balance between modern elegance and something a bit more immersive and engaging. The spice blending experience was a highlight too – such a creative touch that really deepened my appreciation for the food and the concept as a whole. Overall, a memorable and beautifully curated dining experience. Highly recommended.

    Lovely evening with great entertainment. Enjoyed the drumming session and the jazz was fun and relaxed. The butter chicken curry and cauliflower was delicious, and the parfait dessert was also very good. My whole group had a wonderful time!

    The food was delicious and the set menu well planned. The overall experience was magical, from the drumming, scrumptious food being served, live music from the band, to sharing in with celebrations with all the other diners present and laughing and dancing together. It was definitely the best dining experience I have ever had. Our team building wasnt only a success but it was the most memorable moment we shared together. Thank you to the entire team xxx
