Absolutely fantastic restaurant, we arrived as the doors opened and were welcomed and seated by friendly staff. Food and drinks arrived quickly and all were of exceptional quality, it was my first time trying ostrich and it exceeded my expectations. Snacks were also brought out in between which was a very nice addition. The others who joined me were also blown away by the meals they had. We will definitely be back soon!
A great meal, first try of Zebra. Good sized portions and lots to choose from. The restaurant had a vibrant atmosphere and staff were friendly and accommodating. Service was a little slow at times, but it was busy and obviously popular. I would thoroughly recommend a visit, we will be going back to try some other dishes in the near future 😋
I'd describe the restaurant as cheap and cheerful but it is exceptional in that regard. Nice african decor inside, with a super outdoor seating area with wooden panelling, lights, etc. Steel drum type music really does transport you to somewhere far more exotic that Wolverton! The menu has a very wide range of choice, the food was brilliant for the price e.g. not the best steak / peppercorn sauce I've ever had, but absolutely satisfactory for the price; others had rack of ribs which were huge, some got on really well with them whilst others found them a little tough. Portion size was generous. Service was fantastic, we had a large group but the service was well organised and attentively proactive in keeping drinks topped up, etc. Would visit again if in area.
The food was really nice. The staff were so friendly. I have been missing this kind of food for a long time. I came all the way from Scotland and really loved this place. Next time when I am back here, I would definitely come back. Love the music as well, reminds me of back home. Keep up the good work.
A lovely visit this evening. No sign to say if you seat yourself or not which would be nice. Mixed bag on service one lady very nice one lady needed to at least pretend to be happy working. All the the food was amazing. Biltong sooo fresh. Food was fresh, got a little worried when one main came out before the other when there was only 2 of us but other soon followed. Food hot and tasty, cocktails lovely. Cream soda always good. Sadly no koeksisters, and when the peppermint tart came with areo mint I did laugh but hey better then no mint I suppose. Price you really can't moan I have paid more for a lot worse so will deff be going again. Plenty of parking just down the road nice restaurant inside. I give them a 7/10.
Brought my teenage kids here for a celebratory meal. They ordered zebra and ostrich burgers, which were huge and came with generous portions of salad and chips. The kids both rated this the the best restaurant they have ever visited.
I cannot recommend this place enough. The food was absolutely amazing and superb value for money. The portions were ample and like I say the taste was out of this world. My in laws are South African and as the restaurant advertise, it really is home away from home, my mother in law was taken back home with the authentic tastes of the dishes. Great service, friendly and welcoming staff. Restaurant and toilets were clean also, really couldn’t fault it. Will certainly be going back
This place came highly recommended by a South African friend. The food was amazing. All four of us enjoyed or choices on each course. Service was a bit ropey but I think that was because some of the staff were new and still being trained. It wasn't enough of an issue to negatively impact our experience. The music in the background and the decor added to the ambience.
The only minor gripe was drunk customer from the pub next door being escorted from the premises via the restaurant.
Great authentic African restaurant. Menu extensive and very tasty. Drinks good and service and staff Great!,
Lovely place and atmosphere with good food and people! Music was fantastic and the options of all different room with music, made it even better. First visit and I will definitely be returning! Thank you for a great evening
A party of 9 of us enjoyed a really great Mothers Day brunch on Sunday 19 March.
Incredible Southern African cuisine right in Milton Keynes. Everything we tried was authentic and well presented. The staff was really attentive and generally pleasant through-out. Must try if you need an intro into the cuisine or you simply just miss home!
Booked , confirmed reservation , table was waiting for us..Quick service, lovely african interior, well presented, Lovely tasting food, delicious, flavoursome, authentic, busy evening with a Birthday celebration near our table, vibrant atmosphere ..All food delivered tonight was on time..Worthy of a tip.Lived up to our expectations from a neighbours recommendation..Thank you Braai Shack
We visited the Braai Shack for the first time this evening and all I can say is wow! We ordered the ribs which were absolutely massive, worth every penny. The portions are more than generous and really well cooked and delicious. We'll definitely be back.
Location:
Easy to find, not in the centre of town so it's not overally busy in that area.
There is limited parking outside the front of the restaurant or there is a free car park across the road.
Service:
After I walked in, I waited to be seated but staff kept walking past me. In the end I had to walk through to the bar and spoke to the bar person, who checked my booking and seated me.
After this, however, the staff were attentive and polite. Very friendly and helpful.
Food and drink:
Great choice and drinks, milkshakes, soft drinks, beers (including from South Africa) and a large cocktail selection.
The food is very exotic, ostrich, crocodile and even zebra. As a steak or in burger form. We had burgers and they were delicious and well cooked.
Prices were very reasonable, around £20-£25 per person (a main meal and 2 drinks).
The food is divine, both times I've gone there we had to wait 2 hours for the food.
Due to the outdoor functions, it makes the restaurant a bit noisy, hard to hear each other, and converse due to the noise.
