Attentive , friendly staff --good food at very reasonable prices. We all enjoyed a relaxed lunch I here while we were touring some of the wine growing areas around Stellenbosch . Certainly would go there again when in that part of the Cape area. Because we were on a limited time , we opted for hamburgers and wraps ,but the dishes being served at nearby tables were certainly interesting looking.

Thank you for the kind words Martha! When you do visit our area again and decide to pop in, try our Cape Malay Chicken Curry... think you will love this one!

All the best for your travels and wishing you a superb 2015!!

Had a lovely relaxed lunch here on a Sunday. Nice menu and food much better quality than chain establishments in the area. Nice friendly atmosphere and outside seating good for window shopping and people watching.

This is a nice place to relax and enjoy some uncomplicated everyday type of food.

Their burgers are great. Big portions with a nice touch on chips. Pastas are also good.

Other dishes tried out was their curry, soups and skewers which were all good.

Overall if you are trying to find everyday type of food that is not too pricey I would suggest this place.

Staff are also very friendly and attentive.

anything but basic with a good variety of items on the menu. Good value and a much better find than some of the "more upmarket' places we had been recommended to

We eat there often - usually at short notice. As their name implies, the menu is basic, but good value for a tasty meal in a homely environment. No frills, but great when you don't feel like cooking in the middle of the week. It has become so popular that you now need to book!
