    Spyced is a classy African diner. The food is high quality and perfectly tasty. The entertainment (drums and jazz band) are the “cherry on top” of the cake. The ambience and for sure, the kindness of the staff also with the unique experience with the spices, doing the diner as a “tour food experience”, one of the new approaches for the tourism: much more of one supper, a exquisite experience. I always proud of recommend Spyced. The classy walk in at waterfront

    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!
