Braai exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Braai made with real commitment to Mrs Ball's chutney and technique. The spiced and savoury result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

Cape Malay cuisine reflects the heritage of enslaved people brought from Southeast Asia. The a Cape Malay restaurant in Cape Town was exactly right for this kind of eating. Amarula cream liqueur was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
