    Good food but no wow factor

    The food here was good but nothing spectacular. I had the fillet steak and it was cooked to my liking and was nice but nothing amazing. My husband had the bobotie and felt likewise. We also felt that the restaurant lacked a little atmosphere. The...More

    Very good food great atmosphere

    I suggest that you make a booking as it's very popular so don't miss out. Food is great especially the steak great wine but that's what you come to expect in South Africa.

    The food here was nice enough - steak was cooked perfectly but as neither of the sauces offered were to my taste it was definitely missing something. I had asked if a garlic butter or bearnaise could be provided but nothing materialised. The service was...More

    We had a meal at Nguni recently and having read the reviews our expectations were high. However after waiting some considerable time for our starters and having sent back 2 incorrect starters I have to say that we were either very unlucky or the place...More

    Description
    Nguni Restaurant Nostalgic with an African flair, Nguni is located in one of Plett's oldest buildings - an original dairy dating back over a hundred years. Nguni's African menu is a reflection of traditional selections like Bobotie, game, biltong, springbok, Karoo lamb, ostrich and other local favourites. With its beautiful sunny veranda or eclectic African interior with its original wood-burning stove, the Nguni Girls provide customers with a unique setting and superb menu. A true taste of the Cape!
