christina loveMarch 28, 2010amarula!! yum. the lamb bunny thing was delicious. about to try the traditional salad--
Cristina F-MJanuary 6, 2010can't go wrong with samosas or lamb curry bunny chow. lamb chops were great, though chops themselves were pretty small.
J FoxMarch 30, 2013I really, really want to love this place. But service was terrible & our food was cold (would have been delicious). Frustrating! Steep prices & not even a check up for alcohol ($$)...smdh. Just sayin
Noble Hill winesJune 9, 2011Boerwors with a bottle of Noble Hill Syrah... just like on the vineyard!
Mark EganJuly 9, 2012Damn wait staff can't get it together outside. Thanks for giving my table away - of to Olea!!
Daisy RMay 26, 2013Very slow and bad service. The sweet potato quiche is amazing though and so was the burger.
SpikeJuly 25, 2012Owner said to us "you can eat my food or bigger off". Surprisingly, we stayed. An hour later, we're still waiting for the food. Thinking about buggering off.
oscar gtMarch 14, 2009go to brunch and get the safari breakfast. You get a nice spicy meat sausage with mushrooms and eggs.
The BombernautApril 29, 2010Oh and white folks love it because they feel in touch with the world. Stupid stupid white folks.
Stephanie PortoJune 10, 2009had the traditional salad and the roasted chicken and mayo on white bread. so. delicious.
Service is seriously suspect here. But I keep comin back.. Cuz I'm not in a hurry
Guy LockardMarch 25, 2012Don't come here. Very pretentious staff. They pick and choose who to serve. They are rude to ALL races
Eric CMarch 10, 2013Do not come hungry, took over 45 minutes for eggs and salad. Extremely slow service.
Jay MinerMay 19, 2010Bland, texture-less food, and some of the worst service that I've had in a restaurant in a long time. Do yourself a favor: go anywhere else.
- The BombernautApril 29, 2010I agree with morgo. This place has got to be the worst restaurant in Brooklyn. Over priced sub par food and moronic wait staff. I hate you brad.
Leo SkvirskiySeptember 16, 2015Очень приятное место, чуть слегка дороговатое. Но зато африканские товары продаются, ну и на людей поглазеть интересно.
