    one of the best meals

    We stumbled on this place while on a one month trip in Africa. It was amazing and probably one of the best meals we had on the entire trip. We did not have drinks, we had been on a Wine Tram all day, but thought...More

    As we walked into the restaurant, it was completely empty, we tried to look for waiters when we finally found them they were asleep in the kitchen. We then ordered drinks and our waiter continued to tell us he was fast asleep before dropping all...More

    Extraordinary service

    Worth the small fortune you pay! Depending on what you order, you will be either delighted or just content with your food. The porkbelly, prawns and grilled calamari are winning meals. Don't order the Poke bole - not worth it. That said, I would certain...More
