Horrible experience. Food was over priced and simply not good. Service terrible. We waited for hours before getting our meals. Stay away!

Lovely food with a great atmosphere and vibe. The ribs and quinoa burger were tantalising and the boeber was the perfect dessert to end of the night. The service from sibo was amazing and she went the extra mile to be polite!

Just returned from this restaurant with my family and wasted no time to pen my absolute dissapointment.The "executive chef" has no idea of Indian food Butter chicken with drumstick and wings and not a single piece of breast and lacked flavour and was diluted.There was nothing on this menu bar the lentil soup that had any flavour.We truly looked forward to this well advertised Ramadaan menu which is very confusing when explained at the restaurant .Not even dates to break our fast at the table, only a glass of normal tap water.Only upon asking did the waitress scurry around and appeared some 10min later with dates.The food was beyond bland,it was sheer unappetising . Marvin displayed a very pleasant demeanour fully aware that not only our table but the one next to us celebrating someones birthday were even more dissapointed. They like us also called the chef to their table and I must have heard the word tasteless at least 8 times. I noticed upon leaving that their table had also not indulged in the items ordered with full servings visible .Whilst the restaurant was relatively quiet The staff seemed absolutely clueless with our waitress even asking "can I leave this extra butter chicken here to improve the ambience". PLEASE FIX AND VERY QUICKLY TOO if you truly want to attract patrons to this restaurant.Nothing wrong with the "ambience" itself. We even cancelled the fruit platter at the end which is part of the paid menu as we could not face further dissapointments and ended up taking the kids to McDs straight afterwards.I have Hyatt memebership and urge the Hotel Group to investigate immediately. One again I must state that the staff especially Marvin was open to the criticism and truly put up a brave front fully cognizant that there are problems to deal with.. My worst dining experience ever

Absolutely the worst experience. Im writing this review while I await my dessert which will probably take a while like the rest of the courses. We booked for the set menu a few days ago only to be told after a 15min wait that they had run out of samoosas. There were only about 5 other people in the restaurant. My soup was cold and had a hair in it. Appetite gone after that lovely surprise. The waiter although very sweet was extremely inexperienced. He kept forgetting our orders which is shocking considering its a set menu. The butter chicken arrived after another 30min wait and Lo and behold was cold and the roti and naan was forgotten. It was at this point that I decided to complain onto to he told they were understaffed and no apology offered. Worst experience and terribly overpriced.

Prices are very steep for small portions (probably to be expected from a fine dining restaurant), but we were surprised by the lack of flavour and substance of the main courses. We ordered saj breads (basically naan breads with a filling). The taste was good but the bread wasn't properly fried/cooked so the edges were raw dough. 3 of the dishes we wanted were not available. So we took the roast chicken (title: home away from home) and the duck duo. No flavour or seasoning in either main course. Also, the menu description including items that were not served in the dish. The tea and iced coffee were really good, and the deconstructed carrot cake dessert was amazing. The meringue dessert was just okay. Desserts were well priced though. The table next to us ordered steaks and immediately asked for a salt shaker, so I'm assuming it also lacked a bit of flavour. The hostess became our waitress and offered exceptional service. Our actual waitress had an "intern" badge, and definitely wasn't trained because she claimed she had no idea what the dishes tasted like, nor how they were made or looked. If you go, they validate your parking so no need to park outside. MIGHT go back for dessert and coffee, but not for a meal.

If I could give zero stars I would Firstly the menu is terribly confusing but that's least of the problems - the soup looked like dish washing liquid and lacked taste and flavour - the veda was terribly cooked. The pea dhall had not been cleaned and grinded and the taste was horrible - the salad looked like a dog's breakfast Mains: - the roti was thick. Floury. Stale. Hard and no taste The mutton (few pieces in there) was hard. Lacked taste The butter chicken has skin on and bones. And was raw We had to ask 3 times for cutlery and plates! Pathetic service and food Don't waste your time going there

Absolutely delicious from start to finish. Wonderful service from waitress Siphokazi and an exceptionally diverse and tasty menu. Really loved that they incorporated flavors from surrounding Bo-Kaap. The vis-bredie is an absolute winner.
