4.4 / 5.0(2,719 reviews)
What a wonderful experience! Service started of a bit slow but once it started flowing, it was great. Food was fresh, tasty with unique flavours and plenty to go around. We were dining with young kids and they were well catered for in terms of food options. Only criticism would be drinks, found these to be aggressively overpriced, coke can is R35, that's more than a 2L coke at the shops 😱, besides that can't fault a thing. Jan, Jamaica and Mpumelelo from the kitchen, were fantastic not forgetting Reggie at Bookings office! Thank you so much! I loved the service, and the meat was awesome... my son totally enjoyed it As a first timer at carnivore i was pretty underwhelmed. My mom spoke highly of this place. Unfortunately i was not impressed. I was looking forward to having ribs only to be informed that they serve ribs on a sunday only. Which is weird! The biryani smelled and tasted off. The croc meat was rubbery and tough. They have a limited variety of dessert which consists of ice cream and fruit salad, malva pudding with custard or ice cream. The place is pretty lovely with alot of historical features which was the highlight of my experience. 5/10

I was here a year ago with friends and I really liked it, great food, endless torrent of tasty meat, it was the adventure of my life, since then when I think about South Africa it stands in front of my eyes and a wonderful grill where slowly finned: antelopes, zebras, blesbok and warthogs. A nice service will make sure it's an unforgettable dinner... I recommend

Took our parents here for mom’s birthday celebration and they really enjoyed themselves (the all you can eat buffet with lunch or dinner time options). We loved the venue and decor, lots of beautiful places to take pictures. The African artefacts and theme also add to the beauty of the place. The food was nice - the pork sausage and samoosas were the best for us. Overall the food is good, chicken was a bit on the dry side. It is good to eat at your own pace and not feel pressured to have everything at once. Would recommend to anyone to give it a try. Best enjoyed with others!
