The Marabi Club is the home of superb food and drink accompanied by fine live jazz performances. Visible from the street only by the discreet black canopy above a small metal door in Doornfontein, downtown Johannesburg, the Marabi Club harks back to a vibrant history.

    Had a lovely evening here, celebrated a birthday dinner for a friend. The ambience was tops dark, cosy, intimate vibes. The food was awesome. Our waiter wasn't as attentive as I'd have liked but I would go back in a heartbeat.

    I've eaten at Marabi 5 or 6 times. During this visit, I spent about 7,000 rand for four people, albeit including some nice wine. We had some food left over and imagine my shock when I was told that the Marabi Club refuses to wrap unfinished food for take-away! They clearly have never heard of the phrase "the customer is always right" and they seem to think that it is fine to throw away good food sold at expensive prices, presumably to maintain some kind of "exclusive" vibe. Ridiculous!!

    If you are a jazz lover, you must go. Nice place for anyone. Even though I went there alone, nice staff made sure I was having a great time.
