Visited again for lunch. Incredible as always. They have a new menu in their bar area which is great! Lungi served us with incredible skill and friendliness. Thobeka was also very professional and impactful on our experience. Can’t wait to go again

I had the worst customer experience with AVIWE MOSALA, the Reservations Manager. Her arrogance and unwillingness to address the reservations issue were unacceptable. Thanks to Yazeed and his team for their efforts, but I will not be returning or using this brand again!
