My original booking was at Braai Shack however they were not opening until 6pm but kindly directed us to The Safari Braai. Unfortunately there is a drastically noticeable difference between service and wait times between the two restaurants despite them having the exact same menu. From us ordering to us being served food was 2hrs. In that time one person who only wanted starters (we asked for all the food to come at the same time) ate their food and then had to wait over an hour for the rest of us to be served our food and then eat. To make matters worse the pork ribs were stone cold which is honestly a health hazard. The brisket was amazing but sadly that was the only good thing. Our original server could use some retraining. Thankfully the young gentleman who took over our table really did his best to redeem the experience for us. Baring in mind there was only four tables to serve. He truly went out of his way to help. The other servers there could definitely learn a thing or two from him. The difference between service from the Safari Braai to Braai shack is day and night, bar that nice man who is on par with the ladies at Braai shack with his hospitality skills. It was very disappointing as my family travelled from Brighton to come visit and try the food at this restaurant because I spoke so highly of it only for them to have this experience. To make matters worse the meal we ordered was not complete (as described) because they ran out and failed to inform us until I asked about the missing items. My advice to anyone would be to go to Braai Shack over the Safari Braai if you want...

Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe could write a dissertation on not only how beautiful this place is, but most importantly the friendliness of the team, including those you may not always see inside the restaurant. We spotted this pub earlier on in the day, and said we would go there when returning on our journey, as the character and personality the building gives off, was a major factor to wanting to go.
I canāt thank the team here enough, not only for being so welcoming and gleeming with enthusiasm, but in answering questions to the theme that underpins the establishment. In being curious, and hearing the South African themes that run throughout, in what is a modern and contemporary in decor, with abstract interior, and placement that makes it aesthetically gorgeous.
The food, we only had a brief snack due to a quick stop, however in what we ate, the food is up there in standards, and recipes that clearly are from the heart and influenced from family recipes. The taste, presentation and unit flavour balance, for us, Sealed it.
On a personal level, you made us forget about the world, and both me and my partner were able to be wrapped up in our love, and finding ourselves.
I canāt recommend anywhere within, and beyond the area, other than here.
On a final note, for me, this is an establishment who is securing long sustainability, in having the perfect balance in all areas
We will see...
