The evening started with a drumming session, great way to release the stress of the week and get in to the mood for a wonderful evening. Our waitron, a beautiful lady from Uganda explained the menu to us and our first course was a delicious tomato soup served with a traditional pot bread. This was followed by several more courses...

The appetizers were decent ( chicken satay and deep fries shrimp dumpling and and ostrich meat for those that are adventurous including ostrich omelette thing ) I personally did not like the gamy taste if there's really even any taste . For entree, seafood curry was a 3 on my scale to 10. Roti was deep fried and crispy no... More

It lasted about half an hour than, the dinner has begun. So many food...... and such a good service. As we are french canadien,... More

This is a great place to get a feel for S. Africa if it is your first visit. We began our three hour evening with a session of drumming. We learned how to play an African rhythm with our patient but talented drummer/teacher. Then we moved to the dining room where we had a series of tapas while we were... More

Spent there one nite in november '12 and had a nice meal for a rasonable price. Dancers all evening with nice food. You cant choose because the dinner is fixed in twelve different things but you will find a thing for everyone.

Definitely for tourists, but the experience alone is worth it. I normally don't like these sort of things, but the staff are excellent in getting everyone involved. The food is interesting to say the least, and plentiful so make sure you are ready to eat!

The entertainment and food was good at the Gold Restaurant. It was a long evening with the drumming session and the 14 couse meal... long night but we enjoyed it. Some of the dishes left us wondering what we were eating but we were up for the challenge. Most was palatable and tasty... a few were questionable. I have visited... More

We were after some African fair and the hotel recommended Golds. What a night!! The food was great. It was a set menu with tapas Africa style. The entertainment in the restaurant was also superb. I am still to find a bad South African red. Highly recommended for an evening you will be talking about again and again.

I was a bit apprehensive about going to this restaurant as I thought it might be a bit over the top however, we had a fantastic evening here. The food was excellent and there was so much we couldn't finish everything. Then there was the added bonus of the entertainment which was really enjoyable. So glad that we went and... More

When we scheduled our dinner at Gold we were just expecting dinner. What we got was a wonderful evening of amazing authentic African entertainment as well as authentic African cuisine along with excellent and friendly service in a beautiful and creative environment.
