Pleasant atmosphere out in the garden. Umbrellas protected us from light drizzle. Food was tasty but portions on the small side for the price. I think the menu was a bit limited and could feature more Portuguese dishes, but there was enough to choose from. Nevertheless very enjoyable. Will go back.
This has to be my favourite restaurant.Taras Bulba is an amazing, breathtaking restaurant with extremely good and patient waiters. The food is beyond the words tasty and delicious. The atmosphere is also really amazing and having the restaurant in a garden was a brilliant idea.Be sure to try it out...you wont regret it.
Delicious food, value for money, well priced. Beautiful garden. Best dry ribs and hand cut chips you will ever taste. Great atmosphere. Over all 5 out of 5! 👌🏻
I liked the ambiance. Cozy in the house and on the varanda outside. Also tables in the garden. Security on the busy street is good.Their menu basic and the food good. Friendly service. Specially if you stay nearby, give it a try.I will definitely go back since there are very few restaurants with outside seatings.
Ive had a most enjoyable evening with my wife at Taras Bulba.A simple Portuguese salad with a simple Portuguese steak. Great wine.A very simple non-pretentious but very enjoyable place.
Impossible to contact them from web, 012 number does not work. Will now go somewhere else
Very nice steak and prawns restaurant in Brooklyn. Old house with nice seating in the garden. Nice and relaxed. Good for the family, or maybe dinner for two. They wont break the bank either.
We had a group event here - the wait staff and management were so accommodating and helpful! The food is tasty as well. I look forward to going back.
Love the peaceful atmosphere, food is fantastic. I will definitely return and bring friends and family.
Portuguese steakhouse in the leafy suburb of Brooklyn. An old house on a large stand with a nice garden and some big trees has been converted to a restaurant. Ill recommend a table outside under the trees. The food was very flavorsome although the espetada was a bit chewy. Reasonably priced and we had good service. Great place to check out
Awesome service and food! Thx Taras Bulba for the night out, even with leading. and Axon for the safe parking!
Food & Service was Top Notch. Good portions and very tastefull. We definately be back again. Well Done !!
Top class. Top. Class.Original cooks from Madeira, original decor, original quality. True, authentic Madeira Portuguese cuisine. The quality is top notch, the preparation is top notch, they have an open kitchen (you can view them) which in itself says a lot! They have been in business for +-40 years and it shows why. Treat yourself, treat your loved ones, treat your taste buds. Truly, one of Pretorias gemstones. Wish there was 6 stars!
Nice casual atmosphere in garden , our party had both red meat and fish dishes and all were delicious , very friendly service
This restaurant is packed most nights. There is an outside sitting area between tall trees, which is beautiful. The smoking area is restricted to the corner of the property but is unfortunately not enforced. So the beautiful outside area really becomes a smoking area. The service is attentive and quick. Parking is outside on the street, but guarded. The food is well priced but slightly bland.
Great prices.Owner must stop complaining about the councillors and Tshwane etc.And rather discuss the beauty of life, food and wine
Probably the first Portuguese restaurant I ever frequented. Changed location in later years. Always used to be in Hamilton str. Now moved into leavy suburbs, good move.Same menu with great cuisine and service. One of the better steak and prawn houses in Pretoria. Well worth a visit.
Very good restaurant.The food is excellent and the service is outstanding.We recommend any person or family to visit this restaurant.Excellent at least 4 stars.
Food is well priced. Setting is amazing, a place you can escape city in the city. Waiters are well trained
Very good basic Portuguese menu quite reasonably priced. Drinks prices acceptable. A no frills dining experience.
Over priced, flavourless food, inexperienced waiters, arrogant and rude owner, worst restaurant in Pretoria.This place will not make it. Dont waste your time. Owner literally shouted at us for not being happy with our drinks and food
Best Chicken ever!! Nandos chicken has nothing on this Authentic recipe. I fear I’m addicted!
Very enjoyable. Food and service very good.
A lovely setting, private, scrumptious meals, delightful landscaped garden...
Cosy and Loved the outside area, good steak here
Ive actually visited twice now and both occasions were very positive! The setting in a converted house with a pretty, established garden is most conducive to really relaxing and enjoying company over a good meal. On my first occasion I enjoyed the best and freshest calamari I have had for a long time, and the second occasion was for lunch on Mothers Day when I thoroughly enjoyed the tender and flavoursome t-bone steak. The granadilla dessert is also worth while!
Not overly impressed. Lovely atmosphere, even for mid week, but the food was lacking. Limited menu and not very Portuguese. Good service, though.
Good grub at good prices with friendly service. Lovely to sit in the garden under the trees.
Brilliant service, lovely owners and spectacular food!
Average menu in a lovely garden setting. Not traditional Portuguese, but the menu is simple and the tastes are pure.
Great setting, food could do with a bit more flair. Well worth a visit though.
Great Food and ambiance. Really enjoyed the Cod
Good food, friendly service..... Just wait so long for food! Not even full!
Good food at a good price. Lovely atmosphere and good service.
Great fish, excellent chicken and Theresa a fantastic host. Also had a super young waiter by the name of Mathew, good youngster
We where greeted by friendly staff and where seated outside under big trees which made a good impression.The food served was nothing out of the ordinary. A question mark can be raised for Portugese cuisene.They forgot some of our orders and they appologised promptly for the inconvenience.We had to wait a long time for our coffee, as aperantly the capoccino machine has broken down.For what you get is the pricing quit stiff, but the food is tasty.It is a family orientated restaurant and it can be visited.
Great food and atmosphere! A real Portuguese baby chicken to die for!
Baby chicken was good. Prego a bit bland. Service average.
Great place. Good food. Warm atmosphere.
Steak and seafood restaurant. In and outdoor seating available. Very nice
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. I highly recommend Taras Bulba!
Very nice and secure location with excellent food
Lovely family style traditional Portuguese restaurant. Prawns peri peri - what a treat! Thoroughly enjoyed our evening, and looking forward to our next visit!
Good surrounding pleasant atmosphere good food.
Amazing food and amazing service, best creme caramel
Lovely garden. Food and service excellent.
Not so wow, had a very mediocre experience
Excellent steaks and Portugese grilled piri-piri chicken.Great cappuccino.
Introduce a wider more exciting menu and a pub lunch menu. Also get on tap drafs.
Amazing traditional Portugese food
Awesome setting in a beautiful garden. Right at the top of my list for Portuguese style peri-peri chicken!
Need to add some more variety to the menu
Great food and not too pricy, enjoyed our first visit
Not the best representation of Portuguese cuisine, it lacks flavour and that homely traditional Portuguese food. Expected much better
Brilliant restaurant for family lunches in their awesome garden and even for romantic dinners. Proper king size prawns deliciously prepared and a great spicy peri peri sauce for dipping them in. Decent size soles that simply melt in your mouth. My personal favourite is the perfectly prepared peri peri baby chickens, not too hot but spicy. Theresa, the chef makes every dish with Portuguese enthusiasm. One of our favourite restaurants
We love this place ... ás youngsters we used to go to the one in Pta central was delighted to find it again in Brooklyn sane good good with Portuguese flavour aDobt miss out on calde verde
Loved it. Sat is garden, had nice TBone. Will visit again.
Outside seating area is great. Food and service are avg.
Good value for money but bit old fashioned.....no real effort to adapt to more trendy lighter food
Best Portuguese cuisine in town
Food was excellent, service can be improved a little (friendliness costs nothing)
Great food, at good value: menu isnt extensive
Love the food, atmosphere and people! The kids reckoned that this place rules!
Really enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of and tasty reasonably priced food at Tarus Bulba!
Attempted Sunday lunch. Pissy attitude of the lady maitre receptionist ‘you don’t have a booking’. But we were given a table.and allowed to wait for a menu. It eventually arrived. Waited again. Then we left and went to “23 on Hazelwood” where you get service
Very good food and service
Lacl of quality service. Waited two hours from order being placed to being served. The place has potential but it needs a seroius change of management and how they disregatd customers time. Will defintly not eat yhere again. There is a better portugese eatery in St Bernard where you can get value for money.
Great food and good value for money
Awesome for basic wholesome evening out. Service not to great though.
Worst service.. if you havnt booked they wont even let you in you stand outside while a gaurd has too tell you too call or you must leave. Horrible horrible!!!
Good food and off the beaten track. Secure parking as well.
Excellent service and excellent food
Old World Charm
Good evening out, close to home
Love this place my grandfather favorite
Worth a visit once in a while.
Best steak Prawns Baby Chicken ever.
Fantastic value for money
Service was lacking a bit, but the chicken livers were great! Would go back.
Very nice and quiet atmosphere
Wow....simply fantastic.
Lovely serene garden.
Food was excellent, you should book though.
Expensive for what you get. Lovely setting in an old garden under the trees
Great sitting in the garden and good food
Pathetic. Waited for 90 minutes for the main meal. When it eventually arrived - poor quality meat. Eventually refused to pay for the food.
Great tasting prawns
Except for the garden this restaurant FAILS miserably. No menu variety, kitchen very very slow
Sole and ribs not good. Prawns ok but was cold when served
Limited menu overall a good experience
No atmosphere. Dirty toilets
Best peri peri
Ok , nothing different or exceptional, bit costly
Really worth going
Good everything!
Really good meat
Very nice!
