   Had dinner here on a Sunday night. They were going through a menu change and some items were not available. Would recommend the squid prawns which had a nice cucumber salad accompaniment and the rib eye.

   Absolutely superb. The calamari starter was truly the most delicious calamari I’ve had in Auckland over the last 12 years. Bunny chow so good and peri peri chicken livers delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant if I could I would give it 10 stars. Best food to date and I’ve tried many spots. Nice ambiance and reasonably priced.

   Went here for birthday dinner and was not disappointed one bit - we got the prawns, bunny chow and lamb ribs and everything tasted amazing and full of flavor. For dessert we got the milk tart and it was one of the best i've had. host was awesome and service was top notch and best part of all we got to enjoy it all in their beautiful court yard - would highly recommend!

   Decent place to visit. Staff were attentive and friendly. The food were a mixed bag. The absolute highlight was the milk tart dessert. The meat dishes were tender but needed more smoke/charring and ended up having to rely on sauces. Portions were on the smaller side

   We went to Okumnandi for a birthday dinner. We sat outside. The speaker that was outside was playing music way too loud so we asked to have it turned down, but for some reason it got louder again which made talking difficult, even with the person directly across from ourselves. The food didn't take long to arrive and it was delicious and had lots of flavour. As most South African cuisine, it was mostly meat based and quite spicy, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The service was great, we had a kind woman serving us who was really helpful and helped point out what we should order and in what order. The food was fairly expensive but it came in huge portions which were meant for sharing. All in all, the food and service was amazing and perfectly shows off the unique South African cuisine that the chefs should be proud of. I would definitely come here again :)

   We had a dinner here, 2 people Via first table so went early but received the discount. Ordered 2 cocktails , they were nice, would rate them 4 star only because I wasn't blown away but they were nice, maybe on the smaller side. 2 entrees, chilli prawn (6 prawns) and the burratta, both were very nice, would rate both 5 stars. main dish of the lamb loin, beautifully charred, bit of kick to them, beautiful flavours, another 5 star for this. side of broccolini with pine nut paste, was a 4 star, due to personal taste, it was cooked well. the desserts we got both the milk tart and panna cotta, they were ok, 3 stars, I probably wouldn't get them again. I love love panna cotta but I prefer when it's those ones you can jiggle, as it shows the texture is a perfect consistency. though preferred the panna cotta over the milk tart, but my partner preferred it the other way around. the nice part of the panna cotta was the mix of the fruit and hard pieces (crumble/crunch) contrasting the panna cotta itself. I will definitely come back but just stick to the entrees and mains.

   Spectacular food, can't recommend the boerewors and bunny chow enough. First time having South African classics with a twist which were extremely addictive with well-placed spices. The dessert of milktart and panna cotta were a great way to end the meal. Service was good along with a cozy ambience in the courtyard.

   Taste: 2/5 Presentation: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Environment: 3/5 Timeliness: 1/5 Price: 2/5 With 6 of us on a Sunday, it took 50 minutes for food, with the entree 10 minutes after the main. The "bunny chow" that serves two, is really just a single person portion. The ribeye was bland and chewy, the ribs were dry.
