Shisanyama type of vibes, you can bring your own drinks. Best to come with group of friends on the weekends, Sundays are especially packed. It has become one of the main attraction spots for young people to come and chill out in the city. Very safe and parking available inside.

This place is a great place to go if you love braai meat at a very affordable price. You get a lot of meat for such an affordable amount. You can bring your own refreshments and stay for as long as you want. It is safe and have a good vibe. It also close to maboneng. I am definitely going back

Need traditional medicine? Then you came to the right place. Though it would be nice if they added like labels or something to let people know where to go instead of asking the local people to go, and the place is clustered together so you might be confused when someone points you to a certain door

It was my 1st time going there and I wish they could keep the place clean. It is very filthy unless thats part of the unique eating experience. No sanitizer or dustbins in site. I am not expecting a Vilakazi street setup but I didnt enjoy my food in the midst of utter rubbish.

Ive been there so many times before and I still plan on going back. The meat is amazing. Their scrambled pap traditionally known as uphuthu is always served hot and well cooked. If youre looking to experience fresh food prepared right in front of you, head over to Kwa Mai Mai.

Very crowded and scary but great food! My word the ladies really know what they are doing there!

Review №77

Nice place to chill. Do not expect too much as this is a kasi set up. Dress code is always casual. Limited parking space is available. The service is quick and the food is tasty. If it is a busy day. Youll struggle to find a table. After eating youll be required to move from the table to make space for others to eat. So Id suggest bringing your own camping chair for when you want to chill after finishing your food. Id also recommend going there in a large group as the is no attraction either than the food. So having enough people you know to keep you companied would be nice.
