Makiti Family Restaurant & Waffle House — Restaurant in Mogale City Local Municipality

We were there on Saturday for a birthday party at the Waffle House. Food was fantastic and the telephone staff (we called earlier the previous week to book the tables as we knew they are always very busy) were very helpful and friendly. Now the reasons for my not so good score are the following:

Arriving there at the entrance stood about 6 waiters, they greeted, asked if we were with the party and we said yes. That was it. No "let me walk you to the table" nothing.

Eventhough the place was EXTREMELY quiet (no problem with that I take it people rather decided to go Sunday as it was Fathersday) it took our waiter very long to take our orders (don't know his name as he didn't introduce himself). So long in fact that one of the other guests at our table went to the bar himself for his drinks orders. We constantly had to call for him to come and take our drinks orders and our food orders. (Maybe they were prepping for the next days big crowd - but the Saturday crowd was definitely neglected)

Yes there is a sign stating that food is freshly prepared and we should expect a waiting period (no problem with that, rather fresh than pre-cooked and heated up). But seeing as we were one of 3 tables there the food took exceptionally long (thank goodness the childrens food didn't).

The above being said the food did not disappoint and was delicious. That Mozambiquan/Portugese chili sauce (bottled) is fantastic. Waffles are most definitely the must items to order savoury or sweet

And a lovely play area...

I saw this place on a Facebook page and it looked charming. So my family and I decided to take a drive there on Sunday. We arrived and as we walked in we asked the lady at the door if this is the waffle resturant and with a funny look with not even a smile she said "that would be it". Mind you after we sat we noticed a white family come in and the same lady greeted them with the biggest warm smile. Funny that we didnt get that. We sat outside on the deck and i asked the waiter where is the play area for the kids as i have a 3 year old daughter and one of the reason we went there is because the website said family friendly. But to my surprise the waiter said to us sorry but the play area is full. We ordered drinks and unfortunately a fly got into mine. We asked the waiter to please get me another...not to replace it...or not charge me for it....but to get me a new one that i would pay for. The same lady at the door looked very annoyed and asked the waiter "Did the fly go in before or after she got it? So we were shocked and wondered what difference did that make if i was paying for the new drink ? Needless to say this was the most unpleasant experience...we were made feel very uncomfortable ...we didn't stay long but it felt like forever. Definitely won't be...

Was at a wedding and reception, bitterly cold weather with intense wind blowing all Weekend . Food at reception was good did not stay hot for long with cold weather. Pity the party could not go on a tad longer but due to curfew it finished a lot earlier than expected. The accommodation was Okay, plenty of hot water for showers. Bed was not that comfortable same for pillows very lumpy. Got very cold early hours of the morning around 3 am . I little expensive drinks wise bottle of red wine near on R200 . One thing the water did not taste at all good very odd for water out in the country. Roads are very busy and the way buildings are sprining up is unbelievable. I have not been out that side ( Sterkfontien Caves / Cradle of Mankind) for many years . How time's have changed...
