Words can’t express my anger, disappointment and frustration. I was here last night, very hungry and decided to stretch a little further into my pocket with the hope of having a good meal.The meal was nowhere near decent. I ordered a rib on the bone, it’s was VERY dry. I ordered a medium, this was simply overcooked no juices by any chance and probably just tough meat??? Do not get me started on the temperature, it was seconds away from cold. Salad didn’t look fresh either. The lettuce had those brown bits all over.When I left, I passed through MacDonalds to get myself a meal. Pure robbery, simply turn the place into a bar because yikes. My money gone down the drain. What a shame.
The food, the service. I loved the cocktails the most 🥵🥵
Nice place to chill after a long day at work.
Ok-ish, not much to tell.Had coffee at midday, quiet, little dark and gloomy, slow service, music too loud, restroom untidy 🙁
Love that they have a new diverse menu now. 👌🏾
Its okay, we were having a relaxing Sunday afternoon until the manager walked in a decided to turn the music volume up to a point where you cant even have a decent conversation. Finished our drinks and left. Newscafe Woodmead is a better bet if you want to spend time with friends and also be able to have a conversation.
My girlfriend got one of the chickpea burgers from here and fell terribly ill from food poisoning straight after. It made her incredibly sick for about 2 week after. Very upset with this complete lack of regard for the wellbeing of customers as this goes far beyond the simple taste or quality of food. Would not recommend to anyone, I would suggest completely avoiding this café.
I was there last weekend and their hookahs are horrible...they need to chance their hookahs pipes
Delicious food 😋 ribs are to die for
I always enjoy being at News Cafe Midrand. The cocktails, food and vibe...
Awesome vibes. Friendly staff and alot of room for different kinds of meetings, whether formal or casual.
Slow service and it was quiet empty but the people assisting me were slow and took forever with a simple cappuccino order
Nice - as Id expect. Wifi is a bit slow though.
Everything is lovely. A bit pricey when it comes to alcohol.
Friendly staff. nice atmosphere. good food.
The vibe is out of this world and our waiter was exceptionally good
The staff is amazing and the food is even better!
Good food, good vibes
Service is not their strong point. They are slow, get orders mixed up - and just generally do not seem to really care about customer experience. Dont expect a waiter to ever come by - you will call them.If youre trying to order to pick up - good luck ever getting a hold of them.Its as if they make it as hard as possible for customers to get anything out of them. Its actually just annoying.
Great breakfast!!! Good service, would definitely recommend!
It was okay, but dinning without wine its dull its not their fault anyway.
Very very quiet. Took temperature at the door and made sure you sanitize your hands.
Friendly staff, clean restaurant only if I had 3.5 star option rating.
Its a decent place with and situated at a corner. Service was professional and COVID protocols were maintained. The music was too loud and you have to speak louder sitting next to each other.
Lovey amazing Team and I sincerely had a blast there and the live performance, my goodness out of this world
Always cool.
Good food and good vibes
Awesome place with great service. Highly recommend.
Best food welldone guys
The lime inside my long island cocktail had stains of dirt, and the glass I was given on a specific night was also dirty. Waiters are incredibly sweet though 🌻
Great place to end the night and have a party
Same old News Cafe. There now better places to have a nice time-in.The News Cafe brand probably needs a refresh its more than a decade old now.
Excellent guys, really enjoyed the day. Would have been 5 star, if not for the salt grinder breaking
Very relaxed place with friendly staff. The music got too loud later on in the day so be sure to time meetings early for a quieter setting and stick around for a lively setting as the sun goes down.
Nice News Cafe which is conveniently located around the corner at Sand Ridge, free open parking at the cenitre. The place has 2 levels with a small dance floor at the top - not sure if thats still there. The place is really busy after pay day at the end of the month. Like really busy, you will only know what I mean if you drive pass or visit it when its busy - its busy on another level.
Nice chill spot with good music and lovely staff.
Gatsbys is a reall nice place to eat, dance and have a drink
Awesome 💯
The food was awesome, and the music played by dj kay swagger was amazing.
Awesome place
Great Sunday brunch to afternoon vibe. Hubbly available on request. Stunning decor and excellent service
Enjoying the music and the drinks of course 🤣
It is best to sit outside so to avoid the crowd due to the pandemic
Service good. Food ok and staff friendly.
Stunning setup. Really looks different from the old one. Totally loved their new cocktails very fancy. Sunday old school soul playlist by DJ Robbie T topped it all off. I recommend all to visit. Very refreshing change from all the other restuarants/bars in the area
Great service at the bar, friendly people to have a chat with.
Quiet
I dont hate this place
Above average quality meals. Ambiance and setting good. Overall pleasant experience
Chilled vibes
Good place to catch up with the team.
Quiet place, good for meetings, for working, friendly staff, just order and do your thing
Relaxed
Amazing ❤️
The staff were very helpful!
Great vibe, tasty food, good music, friendly staff.
Awesome food. Awesome vibe
Cafe just been renovated for your best chilling experience and best service top notch ✌🏛
Great chill spot
Excellent service
The waiters speak to loud and the managers seem to be no where in site
Its spacious, beautiful music and delicious food. But toilets are up the stairs which is an inconvenience when tipsy. Which is not wheelchair ♿ friendly.
8/10 for service. The waiters and waitresses are very good. 5/10 for the atmosphere though. Very taverny and a bit ratchet at times. Club type vibes.
Its nice n chilled but they only need to change their music
Great for drinks and quick snack, accompanied by good music if you are in the mood to dance
Love the cocktails at News Cafe.....
It has been a while, a long while in fact, since my last visit to any Newscafe... Once a popular meeting spot and hive of after work activity, Newscafes have come a long way.I made a quick stop at this Midrand version to hasten time. I requested a latte and everything was as good as perfect. From the moment I walked in - clean, open, fresh and welcoming. My waitron was professional and helpful.Will I come back for a proper meal? Lets see...
Had a great time with my friends. Charmaine thanx for the great service and your smile was icing to the cake.The club needs a bit of refurbishment however with the great service we got Ill give them a whooping 5 star.Charmaine you rock gal.
The service was extremely poor and the portion of food made me feel cheated. For R150 it was a sad affair. I would like this to be noted. I was not happy when I left.
Nice chill
Nice hang out joint, it would be better if they played a blend of local and international music .
Great service, Great food, friendly staff across the board 👌🏻
Not a good venue for a business meeting. It looked run down and music was too loud.
Thembis service was amazing, will definitely come back 😘
Chilled vibes
Singles day 11/11 special was lit 👌🏽👌🏽😋😋,thank News Cafe Midrand
We dont come for the food, we come for the vibe and music selection. Perfectly located for sundowners if you live in the area.
Was nice
Really nice vibe, small and intimate...come on a Friday night at month end
I last visited a year ago because the service was that great!
Freezos and their nachos are on point.
The food is a little under salted but it was a wonderful experience
Good food and good service.
For a quick drink or tasty bite in a cozy restaurant
Good food, good music, good vibe its just chilled
Coffee was served with hot milk even though cold milk was requested. The beetroot muesli was terrible and the hollandaise sauce had way too much lemon. Wont eat there again. Restaurant was empty but we waited a long time for our food.
Absolutely terrible place. Tables are full of old burn marks, waiters performing maintenance tasks while we were seated, coffee beans used as a garnish were old and stale and the coffee was weak and flavorless. The staff were lackluster and no one looked like they were there to help. Even the manager looked disinterested while reading his newspaper at the bar counter.
Nice place and good people around, but you guys need to advertising a bit your place to have more movement...
