Dined here thrice on Dec-27, 29 & 30 - 2024.
This restaurant has Indian decor and North Indian food with pav bhaji & kheer + non veg.
Strategic seating provides views of the interior working/prep room where I saw a black lady employee continuously washing dishes with dish soap.
This restaurant accepts large group bookings & makes good Indian veg & non veg food.

We went on Boxing Day not many places had open so the place was really busy. Most of the food was very nice, but the lamb in the Jogan Rosh was not cooked well, it was tender and the gravy was tasty but it seems like it was cooked separately. We confronted the staff and the changed the dish very quickly and it tasted a bit better. It was really busy day and at some point they had to say no to new costumers as the kitchen was so busy

Me and my partner have been coming to this restaurant for years. Every time we look forward to the delicious food. If you like authentic Indian food, then I can only recommend it. And don’t worry about people who don’t like to eat spicy like me, that’s no problem either. Any dish can also be served mildly. The menu is large and can be combined as desired. Shout out to the owner who always ensures good service and good quality food.

Having phoned and booked for a Wednesday evening we arrived early for our dinner reservation to find that the restaurant was closed as they were doing catering for an external function. We would have had no idea if we had arrived at our scheduled time as all staff would have left. The restaurant did not phone us to inform us that they would be closed. They certainly didn't let us know when we made the booking.

I haven't been to Vintage India for 10 years or more, but you still get the same vibe as you enter this venue.
I love Indian food & this is one of the most authentic Indian eateries in Cape Town.
We where a party of four & ordered different dishes, starters and main courses and shared.
Each dish was more delightful than the next & the Naan bread was amasing.
The service is excellent as is the servers knowledge of each dish on the menu.
To the management and staff thank you for a great experience, you will be seeing us soon & not waiting 10 years to go it again.
Kind regards

We ordered multiple dishes of all different types of food for a selection of courses but when it arrived it was one congealed mass. It was impossible to tell one dish from another all the sources intermingled with all the other sources everything turned upside down looking like one bag of slop
On top of that cause an hour and a half late
The lateness playing by the uber eats driver on the restaurant. And I'm sure the restaurant blaming the slop on the uber eats driver. But whilst ubereats argues with the restaurant in the restaurant argues with the driver and so at the end of the day but we received was actually in edible. And how and a half late. Cold. And it doesn't dishes merged into one pile of goo. We did complain to uber eats but apparently with few hours too late because we had exceeded them today deadline. And itself ridiculous why should that be a criteria of submitting a complaint within such a short time frame. Haven't given up on getting an edible middle complaining it's not top of the list of priorities full-stop better to spend the time so she can mail that did not come as one pile of gloop

Curry arrived, then some of the rice, had to remind twice that they hadn't sent all of the rice. Then our waiter sent a junior member of staff to deliver a bowl of cold rice. (Poor management) Eventually some hot rice appeared, although by this time half our group of 4 had finished. We did request the desert menu, but instead received the bill. When paying by card they insisted on adding a service charge, when we pointed out the poor service they said it was automatic. We asked (3) times if they could order us a taxi, eventually we just hailed one in the street. Food was good (once it had all arrived) sadly the poor service is what will be remembered from this place.

We turned up without booking but as we were early they said we could have a table but had to vacate it by a certain time which was fine for us so were happy they could accommodate us even though they were fully booked.
The food was really tasty and the waiter was very helpful providing suggestions and getting additional chili to suit my husbands palate.
I would definitely recommend trying this place if you are in the area.

Charles served us and you would have thought it was his restaurant- very good up selling, offering suggestions- all good. Loved the Chicken Lollipops and Lovable Sandwich very different. My Keemabaingbarta (Smoked Bringal (Eggplant) with mince was spicy but a bit to overworked for me (texture wise). My husbands Chicken Curry was perfect. Charles offered an unusual dessert which was a traditional Indian ice cream which I liked but probably wouldn't order as a preference! All in all a nice meal but not a memorable one!

ALWAYS a winner for takeaways, but EVEN BETTER dining in restaurant. Vegetarian Handi Biriyani was outstanding, as was my lamb Kadai. So flavourful, not too spicy, a great recommendation from our waiter.
Atmosphere was quiet but felt very private due to great acoustics absorbing sound of those around you. I've been there for "big table" get-togethers and also just myself and my wife - both handled equally well. Service was great, friendly and attentive, but not overly so.... perfect. (waiters work as a team.)
Nothing but standard options on the beer menu, but the dishes more than made up for that. Been going there for decades, and the standard is as good as ever. Great job Vintage India team

Had a great time at this place . We all felt very welcome even though it was late on a Sunday evening ! The owner was very hospitable and the waiters were amazing !
Food was great - both vegetarian and non-vegetarian . The Burnt Ginger soup was out of this world !
Would highly recommend anyone visiting Cape Town to visit this restaurant!

I had dinner her on a Thursday evening. When I entered the restaurant I could tell I made a good decision. The staff was friendly and helpful and the aromas of the food out of this world.
The Onion Bhajia was superb and a HUGH serving. My main course was Chicken Kolhapuri, the first time I had the dish, and it was Excellent as was the Nan bread. You will not go wrong visiting this outstanding restaurant.
