I had the pleasure of dining at this amazing restaurant and I can't stop raving about it! Our waiter, Gift, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The food was absolutely lovely, with each dish...bursting with flavour and beautifully presented. From the appetisers to the desserts, every bite was a delightful culinary experience. The atmosphere was equally impressive, with a cozy and inviting ambiance that added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. I highly recommend this restaurant for its exceptional food, the outstanding service provided by Gift, and the wonderful atmosphere that creates a truly memorable dining experience.More

The staff were friendly however the service was very slow - really poor. We waited for ages to get service and had to keep going to ask for waiter service - The food was ok but the service wasn’t good - we wouldn’t return here...which is a shame as the restaurant could be great.More

The food was delicious, and to our pleasant surprise, the portions were quite large as well. I had a cocktail called "Buchu tea" which was one of the best cocktails I've ever had (although it's pretty pricey, so I'll keep it for special occasions). Our...favourite part of the experience, however, was the service. Our waiter, Gift, added friendliness and a sense of warmth to our entire experience. We left there smiling.More

A beautiful local spot with a full menu of delicious food. I had the Forest Mushroom Linguine dish for dinner and had the pleasure of being served by Gift, who was an excellent waiter. My meal paired nicely with a red wine blend and for...dessert I had the cheesecake. The whole experience was just perfect. I absolutely recommend this place and will certainly be coming back.More

Our dinner at Ilali was delicious and our server Thabo was very friendly and attentive. We had the forest mushroom linguine and vegan artichoke pizza. Both were great. We were also happy to find out that they had a vegan dessert, a chocolate cake. This...was very tasty as well. The chefs here really know what they’re doing. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a lovely ambiance with cute atmospheric lighting outside. What a fantastic place. Our favorite restaurant so far on our garden route vacation .More

Passing through Wilderness after a couple of years we decided to stop for brunch at a previously visited restaurant. However, The Floor Manager explained that it's now under new ownership with other branches in George (nearby). What a great experience! Classy but understated interiors, excellent...service and exceptional food. Our Eggs Benedict were cooked and presented to perfection and other food served at nearby tables also looked most appealing.More

This place was fabulous and Shepherd, the Manager, was so helpful, accommodating, knowledgeable and particularly willing to cater to my food intolerances. The Seafood Curry was amazing, which is what my partner had. Thank you also to Herman, the chef extraordinaire.

Mine host and I settled for theSurf and Turf (200gm sirloin steak with coal fired prawns, and baby squid fried and rustic chips with Paris butter) Very well presented and a...great meal. Our other two members settled for Pork Belly and an interesting curry. They were happy with their choice. As usual we found the cuisine and service excellent. Well done ILali.More
