Delicious South African kalahari breakfast and they have the best boerewors. We especially love their lamb curry and rice!!! They also have a fantastic shop w fresh biltong, gem squash, curry spices, chocolate and biscuits etc. Really brilliant and great value. Staff are always wonderful & any negative reviews on here appear to be from uptight ppl who clearly don’t know their food.

Just discovered they have moved to new, bigger, better premises just down the road. Not just a great place to find South African delicacies and products. Surprisingly, also a great cafe inside. Compact menu but tasty and very reasonable. Love going here and service always welcoming and personal. Encourage non South Africans to give it a go. Also, there are some products that are just simply better than local options eg: Mayonaise, Bovril and Roses Lime cordial. We love the toasted chicken sandwiches and the bonus relish is delicious .

This is definitely one of my favourite places for breakfast and also the occasional lunch. I like a big breakfast and this is the Kalahari breakfast just delivered to my table with a nice flat white. Staff here are Always friendly and ready to serve. Sometimes I have the toasted chicken sandwich with home made mayo a beautiful flavour for a light lunch and end up ordering another most times. They also do great salads. Just a small shot of the inside as tables to the left are all taken. This afternoon I am making a nice curry vegetable with their South African spices - looking forward to that for dinner. This week had a beautiful roast chicken and salad lunch so have added a picture . I’ve had this before and it’s Very nice , very fresh and a good size meal —with a coffee or a nice frappa afterwards

Hands down the best loaded fries I have had! Also an incredible selection of biltong, South African groceries and a large selection of New Zealand groceries also.

Having bought the Borewors to cook at home needs more fat just a tad dry. The biltong is Fabolous, great variety and price is great but PLEASE find another supplier of Koeksusters they are not a Koeksuster, dry, doughy and lacking in that traditional Koeksuster taste really horrible and over priced. I was so disappointed! Awesome friendly staff. Will be back to try the bunny chows.

Great relaxing setting for breakfast. Had the most delicious fried eggs on sourdough bread toast. Tasty coffee and great friendly service. Plenty of parking in front of the coffee shop. Nice South African treats available if you miss your country of origin Highly recommended.
