This was a cute little spot, a lot of cute African decor you can buy right at the entrance including furniture. It has such a home feel rather than a restaurant. The staff were so kind and welcoming, it felt like visiting a friend. I had the lamb chops, which were well cooked and seasoned.
Service was a little slow. One dish was slightly over spicy. We called in to reserve a table outside, on arrival we where told that we did not book a table outside. We had to wait for them to prepare a table, the person was not friendly. Where I notice that some couple with kids arrived without booking and got given a table outside. That's not acceptable.
I absolutely loved this place! What stood out the most for me was the variety in the kids’ play area — it really made the experience enjoyable and family-friendly. The food was delicious, and later in the day, when it got colder, the chai latte I ordered was perfect. The virgin cocktails were also really good. The waiter could have been a bit friendlier, but overall, our experience was superb. It’s a beautiful establishment, and we will definitely be visiting again.
Great place to bring your kids! It’s very nice and accommodating for both children and adults. We happened to visit during a reptile viewing event and even got to take pictures with some small snakes 😀 The food was great, my strawberry daiquiri wasn’t the best, I was a bit disappointed by that as it wasn’t well blended😔 and there wasn’t enough parking, had to park on the opposite side of the road. Very friendly service from our waiter Siya.
The space is nice and kid friendly but a bit compressed or squashed, but that's understandable. The pastas and pizza we ordered were great but the kiddies burger was too small, normally my 6yr old is satisfied with kids portion but this one was too small for that cost. It is those finger lunch buns. Besides that I think it's a nice restuarant for kids to run around and have fun. I also liked their dancing activities where parents can join in.
