Lunch at Baobab was very good, I really enjoyed my medium done steak with calamari and chips. I cant fault the place it was a very cold afternoon but the waitress brought me a blanket to cover with even though I didnt ask, I loved that she took initiative. The venue is beautiful with a lovely ambience. Ill go there again.
The restaurant is really great with reasonable prices. I ordered a Xai Xai Chicken and it was well cooked and juicy. I went there to celebrate my friends graduation 🎓 day and I would recommend anyone to go there if you want to celebrate anything (my guardians celebrated their wedding week there as well). The staff there is really kind and loving. You will feel the appreciation from them. Thank you Baobab Cafe & Grill.
I didnt like the chicken snitzel. The chicken was very oily. Imagine on my birthday being served oily chicken breast.
A gem hidden in the labyrinth of hallways and passages of Menlyn, Baobab is an oasis of amazing food, great drinks and unmatched ambience.The staff are super friendly and make your dining experience an event. Our waiter was extremely polite and kept the table clear (and dry) without leaving us inconvenienced.Our food and drinks were to an extremely high standard with everything prepared fresh.The restaurant is also divided into 4 distinct sections to cater for any occasion, from the intimate dinner for 2 to large parties.Also have to mention that the manager greeted us when we arrived and when we left - making for a very special day.
I wish they had child friendly facilities. Otherwise the food was great

One of the best restaurant I have ever been to in Pretoria. Great food of consistent quality, awesome service and friendly staff and at reasonable price. Highly recommend the potjie items and eisbien.
The food was amazing. But the star of my day was the waiter Gerald he gave the best service ever. I would definitely go back here the service is a 100%. I would recommend
We (me and my family of 23 members) had a fantastic afternoon at Baobab Menlyn. The tables were neatly arranged, the ambiance was great, food fantastic, staff very competent and the service exceptional. Moses, well done and thank you very much for all your and your teams efforts.I will without a doubt recommend Baobab Menlyn to all my family and friends.
This is a top class place for those looking for that perfect restaurant experience at Menlyn. The menu is vast and their portion sizes are huge. I promise youll not be able to finish your order and if that happens, the waiting staff will be more than happy to pack it up for you to go.Baobab has some amazing spice flavors and recipes that are likely to blow you away.Bon appetite
The place was amazing , very chilled, friendly waiters,nice view and the service is very good. The food was great you will never regret going there.
I had wonderful experience....their food are top notch ...I salute you guys ...keep it up ...with staff I cant comment much because it was not busy night but the lady was excellent ...I will love to go again ...I enjoyed the food ...
I loved being there. Its a very big restaurant with lot of seating choices. The outside view is equally satisfying. The food is great too, big portions, exactly what you paid for. Although it took a while for food and drinks to get to our table, I wont mind mind going back again.
Great experience, the vibe was nice and the atmosphere was nice as well. I give it a 10. Music and outdoor vibes 💯
Service and Food is excellent. Well managed place. Would highly recommend.
Its okay. I expected fine dining but its just okay. The staff is friendly, the food needs more work.
We visited on a Sunday evening and had such a lovely time here. They played nice music and the waiters were very friendly. The food was very reasonably priced and prepared very well. We really enjoyed our time here and will be definitely going back again. The place is suitable for any kind of date. A date with friends or family or a loved one or a business meeting or work colleagues. Te environment caters for any kind.
Another fantastic meal at a wonderful venue if not the best in Pretoria by far! Smoked Salmon Salad for lunch and Quesadilla’s for my Wife! Compliments to the Chef and such awesome friendly staff! Thank you! We will be back as always. Thank you Charles for serving us!
A lovely & cozy place to hang out. Atmosphere is welcoming and the menu is to die for
I always come here once or twice a month. Food never disappoints. Great cocktails, great service, great views n meals arent that expensive. Their cheesecake is to die for. They really got an amazing menu. Its really a nice restaurant. Staff always ready to help. Its very clean. Deserts always on point. Indoor sitting very elegant. Outdoor very peaceful. Upstairs very beautiful. Just that its not a great idea coming here when its busy. Great crafted beer as well. They have a great selection for meat lovers.
Just love their sweet chilly chicken, it is delicious. I enjoy going to Baobab, as you get this real africa ln vibe. The staff are friendly and the service is super fast even if the restaurant is packed. I would definitely recommend baobab, it is worth your money. Their drinks are also delicious and a huge variety to choose from. Thank you for your hospitality and supurb food!
A dining experience that is world class, from Decor, food and staff, we were met with luxury, taste and proffesionalism. This is not a restaurant, this is a dining experience that is an escape into an African art exhibition that ticks all your sensory experience boxes! I will travel from far to come again and again. The food is exciting, with an array of complex ingriendience that burst in your mouth with each spoon full. Do yourself a favor and come treat yourself at this exquisite Restuarrant.
This restaurant has yet to disappoint me. The service has always been very good, the food tasty with a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Baobab cafe has a stunning view from the large balcony but also has seats inside for those chilly or windy evenings. Definitely one of my favorite stops in Pretoria!
Upon entry - we were greeted good however we walked in to no one giving us direction on which table we would like to sit on & we looked lost. It took them a few minutes to get someone to give us direction & the table/s we wanted to sit on were reserved & I believe in first come first serve in this.Food - the burger I had was salty & the glass of juice expensive for that size. There were no variety of sauces only tomato sauce, salt & pepper & they jumped from one table to another as they said they did not have enough.The server/waiter was okay but could have been great.Prices are too high for my liking, I dont think I will go back.
Their meals , value for money , and the waiters are very good .
Great food and service!
Lovely vibe and beautiful setting🔥
Located in Menlyn mall. Such a cozy warm restaurant, lovely atmosphere, service is great and the staff is superb.The food is just scrumptious they did not dissappont. My entire experience was beautiful, I received a five star service.Ill definitely recommend it to anyone.
Good Place. Good Food.No Photos🤷♀️
Excellent food and service, just got a bit pricey for my pocket.
Absolutely top class food and top class service. Gents treat your ladies to a night out on the deck or inside where there is a warm cozy feeling and good vibes. I will definitely be back soon.
The food was OK, service was OK. There was nothing outstanding but nothing bad either. Ambiance is great and the place is beautiful.
Great service, amazing food and friendly staff all packed into a beautifully decorated restaurant that is perfectly located. Youll be missing out if you dont stop in for the perfect steak or lamb shank during your visit to Menlyn.
Where do I start?I order bone marrow steak (medium rare, came back well done). My companion ordered well done mixed grills, they were well done.We only got one wet wipe for 2 portions of sticky ribs and wings. To say the bone marrow steak was under seasoned would be an understatement.Desserts, cheese cake was good, everything else was a nightmare. To top it all off, my son didnt get cutlery. Definitely wouldnt recommend. Spend your money elsewhere.
Friendly service, delicious Mogodu with Dumbling 😋
Came here alot when i was younger, their Margaritas have not changed and are still amazing.
Good food, good service, nice atmosphere
My favorite restaurant but today was really appointing. The meat was off when we complained the manager (Fainos) gave us excuses that the meat was ordered today..and that was it 🙄..that is the best he could come up with.. to keep the customers happy. This restaurant needs a new manager shem
Lidea best waitress ever. She gave us the best service 🤩
Great food, excellent service. Different seating areas, each with a different ambiance.
Totally unexpected restuarant within the mall. Excellent food, location and atmosphere, with a great African flair. If you want a special and different experience, this is definitely a must in Pretoria.
The waiters were so helpful, and caring. The food was also nice.
Great view, friendly staff, great scenery abs good food
Very tasty food and lovely treatment
It was great I had a good time there as always
All the waiters offer their services with no hesitation
Good food, great ambiance and nice views
I visited the restaurant a few weeks ago, and I was not elated with the service I received, I’m not sure if the restaurant was under stuffed or what, but I was attended to by so many waiters that I even lost track who was my waiter, I had to request menus to order after 10 min without being attended to, when my food came I had to remind them that the drinks were missing— I had to request sauces from another table, I had to request a random waiter for the bill because the one I had requested was no show, took over 10 min for me to get my bill, then we had to wait again for the speed point. I did not have a good experience and the place was recommended by a friend. Maybe Saturdays are just too busy and one should try weekdays😭😭
The service was excellent and the food was delicious!!
Place is neat, staff are very helpful and professional is an elegant cafe with a sprout vibe n tranquil
Its a great South African restaurant, infact the only one in Pretoria serving authentic SA dishes, ironically, in South Africa, there are very few restaurant serving local dishes. Over the years, they have really improved, much more relaxing sofas outside, cubical on the patio, some nice touches here and there. I still believe the potjie is terrible, no matter which one you go for and its really disappointing, the only South Africa dish that matters more, they managed to messed it up, sea food however is far better then the traditional dishes. The last thing, they should colour that dark wood, it had been there for years and its really ugly and pretty much invisible with low light inside, this place need a facelift after many years of existence, its ageing and honestly, its not pretty.
What a beautiful place with a beautiful view...the food is amazing,i had a lamb shank and it was so succulent and falling off the bone👌👌👌
The best date night location in Pretoria. Ive never felt more at home. Such excellent service and 5 star quality food and drinks with the most comfortable and classy atmosphere.All my friends know about Baobab now.Will be back soon!😀
Guys please visit this place with ur partners. The service is so nice plus nice food
I save this place for special occasions and my family have had quite a few iconic meals, for celebrations, birthdays, family gatherings. I love the baobab tree for starters, so the decor takes me back to the days travelling between Messina and Louis Trichardt. The restaurant offers a really touristy menu, but hey, we can be tourists in our own country and enjoy. When ever we have a visitor from outside SA, I am always sure to make this a stop. Awesum view at sundown, from the outside area.
A beautiful place with good music and the service is of a high standard. The food is very nice and clean!
We had nice family dinner 🥗🥣 and the food was delicious especially the creamy spinach ooh my God i felt like i could just hug the chef!!!! Baobab you rock.....
Professional stuff. We enjoyed being there
Nice beautiful view of pretoria east from the outside seating. Food was divine-mouthwatering, enough/more food portions and value for money. Chilled vibes, chilled music, epic
Place was beautiful... With delicious food... Sure to see me soon again
Its a more space choice restaurant with nice view and good meals in Menlyn mall.
Good service. Good food
The food was Nice we really enjoyed 🥺❤️Our table was outside so it was even nicer seeing the whole view, And of course Our Amazing Waiter Gerald made sure we were served Well he really knows His job and was very friendly and very nice.
