![Zomato]( "Recensione")
My boyfriend and I went her for his birthday. Having been before he highly recommend Shabeen.
Having been (and fell in love with) South Africa last year I'm always on the look out for somewhere or something to take me back. Shebeen didn't disappoint.
Firstly, the staff were lovely and welcoming. No pressure to order.
We started with a couple of (imported) Castle Lager, personally there's nothing worse than a crappy imitation lager so this hit the spot.
I was warned not to get a started, by all means, one between two if you're really hungry would work but I'm so glad we didn't.
The OH went for the rump steak, lion size, this steak was bigger than my face!!! It came on a wooden board with a ridge for collecting the juices (A+), accompanying this was some potatoe wedges, onion rings (large), side salad and he went for the 'Monkey Sauce' * It was seasoned beautifully and cooked med/rare as requested.
After much humming & hawing, I went for the Shebeen burger with cheese. Again, this came with all the above and again, it was about the size of my face.
I even had to give a quarter to the OH to finish.
Two large mains, two Castle each, £52.
I can't wait to go back and try a few of the authentic dishes, Bunny Chow anyone?!
*no monkeys were harmed in the making of this sauce.
Like steak? Then were shebeen?! This place has the biggest steaks I have ever encountered. Full chopping boards full of red meaty goodness. All the accompaniments are also really nice. Calamari is good to start...but save room as you will be full to the brim. The full T-bone looks like a cow cut in half!
Oh my god! I'm going to have to wheelbarrowed out the door of Shebeen writing this review. First time here. Heard loads about it but never walked in until now. So my husband had the 'stew' (I really can't write or pronounce their dishes so I'm not going to try). I had the steak. It comes in 2 sizes; cheetah (small) and lion (big). My gosh! I sure don't feel like a cheetah now. More like a over-stuffed sloth. It sure is a big steak. All yummy for sure. Even the Monkey Glands sauce that is recommended with the steak (no monkeys were harmed in the making of my dinner). Yummy! Coming back for sure...as I have my eye on the ribs that the the next table beside me ordered.
