Was there yesterday, music and food were amazing but I was not happy with the service we got.. our waitress was all over the place and in some instances we had to get up and get her to attend us. The price on the menu did not correspond with the bill. Had to pay more than what we anticipated. Please address this as Im not happy

Food is average, vibes are great especially if you are sitting downstairs, service is sometimes slow but it could be because it was packed

We had lunch here. The tripe which was average but the service was poor. We were left alone for 45 minutes while waiting for the food. Even after serving us the waiter never came to check if we needed anything else. We eventually found them downstairs and requested out bill. So disappointed because I actually think the place has so much potential

Has a great vibe but was slightly disappointed with their food. Had tripe and samp and I dont think it was their best day in the kitchen. Couldnt taste the tripe itself, they used way too many spices and the samp had that smoky smell like it was burned. Drinks were amazing though and the music was great.

Good ambience, service, clean. Delicious food, well presented. Ill go back any day. Just one thing Vuyo. They must always put table cloths. It was my 2nd time. First time there were table cloths. The toilets also were not as clean as the last time I was there. Please dont drop your service. These can be minor but they mean a lot to some of us.

Wonderful place to chill and relax either with friends or significant other. Vuyos is based in the heart of Soweto and one of the most iconic roads in Soweto Vilakazi Street where our former great leader Mr Nelson Mandelas house is situated and so if you dont know it, come and check it out! You wont be disappointed.

Tried my second local meal here; Mogodu with dumpling. Loved it! Recommend you sit outside on the terrace, to catch a glimpse of Sowetos night view. And try my new favourite beer, black label; refreshing taste.

Had a lovely experience. Food prices at a slight premium but almost want to say worth it. All dishes were well prepared and thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend to others and consider going again when in the area. The chef even prepared something special for a birthday girl. Only complaint was some plates that was not properly cleaned /washes before being brought to our table.

Review №43

The food tastes average, the presentation of the food is nothing spectacular, for the price we paid, we expected a colourful plate with some class, however, we only got a bare minimum. We waited 20min from the moment we arrived at the restaurant, and we had to ask a passing waiter to give us the menus. We then waited an additional 30+min for the food.

The place has a nice vibe food delicious but expensive the waiters have no time we were given a dirty table, only to realize they do that as the tip is included on the final bill. Please change this person to be given tip based on excellent service.

My friend ordered hot chocolate and she was told that hot beverages were not available but a few minutes later we saw one of the other waiters making herself some tea and she drank it behind a counter in the front of the restaurant. We ordered chips and wings and the chips were not cooked properly, we ordered extra chips and they too were not cooked properly but they were burnt... First impression, I am not happy with this place...

Review №61

When we called to make a booking a week before, we were told first come first serve for that particular Saturday because it was the derby. On arrival we couldnt sit where we wanted because it was reserved. The waiter we had, was busy elsewhere and forgot about us and sometimes forgot our drinks orders. We ordered the platter for four. The meat was enough but not that tasty. The chips were far too little for four to share. Management compensated by offering a better seating, way after we finished our meal. Overall I expected a lot but didnt get half of it. Not happy.

This Place is very Outstanding and they serve very nice foods and drinks. Their platters are very nice and reasonable. The waiters are a bit slow, i thnk they should change how waiters are allocated to customers, because u will only get one chance with the waiter and thats all.

Lovely haven in Soweto with a great view of Johannesburg skyline. The South African traditional dished with a modern twist are just as tantalising. The service is excellent!

Review №71

The service was awful , the food was cold and tasted awful to top it all the waitress knows nothing about customer service, asking for a glass of lemon water was like asking for mogodu that still needed to be cooked she took forever to bring anything we asked for... The flies took the cup ... Worse place thus far on Vilakazi street.... Should have sticked to the places I know and trust.

Vuyos Restaurant located opposite the historic Sakhumzi Restairant offers the best in cuisine on the Vilakazi Trip. The menu is both traditional experimental and delicious conventional. No matter whether you are looking to try out some South African favourites, or if you are looking for good fish, delicious steaks, this is the place to go. The bar is also fully stocked with premium whiskeys, Champaigns, craft Gin, you name it, they got. Most def my favourite spot on the Vilakazi strip in #SUPAsoweto!

The staff are very slow. It took 20 minutes to get a menu, 30 minutes to get service and the place was empty! There was only one other table that was occupied. The food is unnecessarily overpriced, some items on the menu are no longer available and they dont even serve coffee. The place was a great idea but the staff are terrible and just ruin it.
