Completely not in our hood, but one of our friends saw this little gem profiled in the British Airways magazine and we trekked down there, 8 of us. This is not fine dining, or famous chefs or the latest place to “see and be seen” but it is a fantastic night out.The menu is limited but the food is wholesome, with a South African focus. We started with platters of spinach and cheese samosas in a spicy dip and some of the pumpkin soup, served in a tin cup. Both excellent starters.We ordered a selection of all of the dishes for the main meal, and passed them around the table to share. I even tried the cow heels (gelatinous?!) but the mogodu (tripe) defeated me. The rest of the dishes were delicious and we ordered seconds for some. Beef stew with pap, butter bean curry and rotis, braaied jerk chicken with coconut rice, veterans peanut and coconut chicken, all yum.We opted to move to the outside seating area for desert and again chose a selection of all of them. Koeksusters, pineapple on skewers sprinkled with masala and good old jelly and custard.There was a big screen outside showing African music videos, with some great music playing. The place was pretty quiet for a Friday night and I imagine once the word gets out, it could get very festive. The hostess, Ashley was a star and couldn’t do enough to make the evening fun, and saw us all out to our Uber as we left.Definitely recommend for a different night out.Corkage is R20 for wine, I do suggest you take your own.

Wonderful restaurant, lovely owners, delicious food, awesome music. What a great experience. Thank you Sifiso and Ashley we will definitely be back.
A small gem down a backstreet in the middle of the suburbs.Can seat about 20 people, with a simple wholesome menu.Starters were spinach and cheese samoosas with a spicy sweet dip. Followed with a cup of butternut soup.I had the butterbean curry, a cheeky dish that is warm and hearty.The beef stew and pap looked scrumptious!The sweet served pineapple dusted with curry spice.
