Imbizo Shisanyama @ Midrand Mall — Restaurant in Gauteng

My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. They don't provide a physical menu, which meant we had to constantly ask for prices before ordering. The meat section lacked clear labels, so we had to inquire about each type of meat as well. The lady assisting us was incredibly rude and unaccommodating, making it difficult to change our minds about our order, and she maintained a constant, disinterested blank stare throughout.

The food itself was underwhelming. Our lamb, chilli wors, and beef were overcooked, while the chicken drumsticks were undercooked. To top it off, it was evident that larger groups were given priority over smaller parties like ours.

Overall, the experience was beyond disappointing, and I won't be spending my money...

We went in for Mogodu on the Monday, it’s R120 pp and they serve it buffet style so you can eat as much as you like. There’s samp, pap, 2 salads, chicken and mogodu, plus complimentary juice, so I’d say the R120 is worth it. We arrived around 5pm, there’s a running weekday special for drafts between 5 and 7, buy one get one free, so we also ended up having a few of those. I’ve tried their braai meat before, also stellar, I’d give it a good 4 out of 5. The place gets extremely loud so keep that in mind if you plan to dine in. Wether you’re there for the mogodu or braai, I’d say budget around R300-R350 pp for food and 3/4 drinks. All in all, a pretty decent experience, I wouldn’t mind...

The staff members are the best, from the cashiers to the braaimasters and even the bar staff.

The beers were cold. The food was okay, minus the sides - I think there's room for improvement in that department .

It's a nice spot, unfortunately I don't see myself pulling out a laptop or meeting people for work at your establishment. I don't even know if you have WiFi and if it's decent, this my reason for giving you 3/5 for atmosphere. I didn't see any plugs around the tables either.

Other that the issue above, I will still be coming back and I highly recommend (just not for work...
