    We had a lovely evening at The Amanzi, delicious food, great service and ambience. We both had the traditional Bobotie , absolutely yummy and highly recommended. The suggestion of mixing everything together, ie the mutton dish, rice and homemade chutney was spot on! The flavours were incredible, unlike anything else we've tasted. We weren't sure about which wine to choose so the waitress very kindly let us sample one of them to help our decision. The owner/manager asked us if everything was ok which was a nice touch. All in all an excellent meal!

    5th time back and not disappointed at all. Portions are generous and delicious. Service is fantastic and not at all rushed (to the point where if you're impatient you might think it slow) a perfect embodiment of the relaxed South African vibe it puts across. Staff could not be more welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Cocktails went down very well!!
