On my very first visit I experienced a warm, welcoming feeling not only by the patrons, but also by management and the owner herself was very hospital. The food is amazing... good quality ingredients are used to served beautiful meals. Top quality service was evident. The live music was relevant and of top quality. Thank you very much for making me feel like part of the family. A definate must-try to anyone visiting the area.

The service was superb from Nomcebo (I think that was her name) such a service driven young lady. We sat out on the balcony, a little noisy. We had the seafood platter which was very good. The cappuccino was not a cappuccino.

Wonderful quaint and artistic restaurant. Enjoyed the ambience but the service was exceptionally slow even though the restaurant was not full over a late breakfast on a Saturday. Have had better shakshuka but portions are great and I am keen to go again to see if the experience can be better.

What started as a great night ended in disasterA fight broke out and what made it worse...they locked the doors downstairs so we could not get out of the club when the fighting was taking place.

Review №37

Ambience is lovely, however took some visitors from the coast who desperately wanted to visit the place and was greeted by tiffany chairs in plastic covers, instant let down...why should i sit with chairs in plastic wrappers as if Im in some warehouse. No drinks menu and our waittress was really not friendly or accommodating. It would be nice if a drinks menu were available. Totally disgusted

Great pub, with amazing atmosphere for groups. Multiple television screens allow for a sports bar atmosphere. And there is this jukebox full of current music, include choice Nigerian and Ghanaian artistes connected to high powered speakers allowing patrons to play their own music and party...great place for groups looking for an evening to hang out...our guys had an amazing time transforming the whole street into one large African party.

This live music venue may be trading illegally, I do not recommend you go there. Its awkward when the sheriff might arrive and take the table away.

Poppys English breakfast will keep you going all weekend. Good food, decent service. Sit outside and watch Melvilles street life pass by. If you are fortunate enough to be approached by Shorty the Melville Poet, ask her to recite one of her poems - soon to be published on Amazon and in booklet format.

Was not there for long, but, I enjoyed the vibe and feel of the place - then I got to taste their food...OMG!!! We ordered a salad and a pizza...The salad was unexpectedly delicious and I felt in salad heaven. It had avocado, grilled calamari and roasted cashews...the BEST combo I have ever tasted! The Pizza was mouth watering and you can imagine that there was none left.Overall, this place is a definite must! Whether it is for a function or just casual dining, you will not be sorry.

Great comedy open mic sessions on Mondays. Their food is also amazing. They are a bit understaffed though, resulting in waiters taking long to take orders (and sometimes forgetting your orders). Otherwise great vibe.

Monday night comedy at Poppys is just the best! The service and food served is of superior quality. Always ambiatic , relaxed and chilled vibes! Its a great place to meet up with a couple of friends for a drink after work. Monday nights are the best where one gets to experience south Africas comedians famous and not so famous.... And all for free!

Wonderful atmosphere, especially on a Sunday. If youre looking for a place to unwind, have some wine coupled with the best prawns in JHB, while enjoying the sounds from a live band, this is the place for you. Youre encouraged to dance and enjoy yourself while being exposed to a more matured kind of fun place especially on a Sunday

Place was extremely cramped, was a mission to even get out of our seats. Placed us at a table right at the back of the place by the bar. No separation of seating and bar so people we bumping into us most the time.Wasnt all bad, there good music and vibe going around. But seriously needs to work on seating arrangement.

Good food, and it is lively and busy. Even on a Sunday night you may find people dancing. Fits a lot of tastes into a small space, including comedy and live music, as well as football on tv. Also has outdoor seating for the smokers. This is a homely party spot for a fun loving clientele.
