First time in the restaurant, food was amazing but even better service from our waiter �(Zikhona )�. Never waited long, the food was warm and tasty. I requested as the dishes are ready they should bring it and not wait for the whole order. It was as if she was watching us finish each dish and brought the next. Even thou it is difficult the manage a restaurant in the fast because every one wants to eat on Magrieb. Will definitely recommend the restaurant to my friends and family. Keep up the good food and excellent service. I will be expecting it every time I come Shukran.�

My first visit and boy oh boy was I stunned! Amazing cozy atmosphere and the food is top class. The presentation of food is also very nice would recommend this spot to all 🤗🤗
This place has the best halaal steak ever! We love the beef medallion basted with either masala or BBQ basting. The onion rings and sweet potato fries are my favourite side options. For starters the Greek salad + crumb mushrooms + focaccia are really good.
All food that I’ve tried from here is always so good.
Decided to get a takeout from this quaint little restaurant. The actual decor in the space was lovely and quite rustic. The waitrons were also incredibly friendly and helpful. The meal itself was delicious. I had the lamb riblets with the spinach and mozzarella balls as a side. The basting on the riblets was very tasty, but the main event really was the spinach and mozzarella balls. I'll probably add them to everything I have from here from now on.
A great neighborhood steak house, filled with amazing smells. The menu has a wide range of options, I had an amazing fillet which was succulent, flavourful and really generous. Good milkshakes too.
Definitely a must try!
Great pizza. Great steak. Average burgers.
Love the bread under the steaks. The burger patties and steaks cant be basted with the same sauce. ??
TBW has a very clean and modern setting. They have a large menu but manage to pull it off. Prices are decent for the quality you receive.
The steak is their signature dish which is served on a naan and with a side. They always cook it to perfection and the chilli basting gives it an extra kick (optional).
The pizza is made in a wood-fired oven which results in a smokey taste.
They also have a wide selection of drinks with many unusual milkshake flavors such as Popcorn.
This is an amazing halal restaurant in the Athlone area so I was spoilt for choice.I opted for the alfredo chicken pasta and tried some of the pepper steak pasta too, both dishes were delicious.
For dessert I had the cheesecake with cream which was superb so I would definitely recommend trying it.
The service is a bit slow and the seating is limited but my overall experience was still great.
Always told to try this eatery. The women chose to have my birthday dinner here. 14/05/18. I must admit this places food blew us away. We eat out quite often and the food here is amongst the best that we have had. I just hope for their sake they uphold this standard so that they can continue to be successful. Well done to the chefs for preparing such great meals and the staff for their outstanding service. The beef fillet, barbacue chops, chicken avo salad was all great. This is one place I cant fault on the quality and taste of their food. well done "The Butchers Wife"
Despite the wait because the restaurant is small, the food is totally worth it! And I can’t wait to be back for more and I love that your steak is served on a piece of bread that soaks up all the sauce and juices. So yummy!
Excellent food - steak was cooked perfectly and was very enjoyable. Small, cosy little place with a relaxed ambience. Service was average but the food would make me go back there again and again.
This place is truly deserving of 5 stars! The food is totally delicious. It does not matter which meal you order, the experience will be the same. The milkshakes and mock tales are equally good. The atmosphere is quant and intimate. I would honestly drive 30 minutes just to eat there.
The food was fantastic. Fresh, hot, tasty. We had pizza with the low carb base which was amazing, pasta and soup.
Definitely looks like there's something for everyone. Can't wait to bring the kids.

An absolute must go to if you’re in Cape Town!!!
I came to Cape Town from overseas as part of a family holiday. After getting to know my driver better, I mentioned that I’m a serious foodie and keen to explore the great halal-food offered around Cape Town. He kindly recommended that I must give The Butcher’s Wife a visit. This is quite simply, the best steak food place I’ve ever visited and ate at in the world!
The Butcher’s Wife had this quirky, cafe ambience to it. Very well designed and delightful to the eyes. The staff were incredibly friendly and seating was in good supply. The actual ‘Butcher’s Wife’ approached our table, as my accent gave away that I wasn’t from South Africa! She was very polite and hospitable (as were the other staff).
Being the first time we visited, we opted for the large variety of different dishes from the menu: Philly cheese steak baguette, prego steak salad, crumbed mushrooms antipasti, lamb steaks and chocolate cakes.
The food was absolutely incredible! The flavour to price to quality ratio was fantastic. The ratio of sauces to meat and overall laurering of the steak sandwiches and food was perfect. We ended up visiting this restaurant every day for our entire 11 day visit to Cape Town.
I cannot wait to visit Cape Town and this restaurant again! Highly recommend.

Oh my God....what an experience from the staff to the amazing food mind blowing. ..Just to say I love Spur but sorry Spur ...Butcher's wife took it to another level for me and my husband well done....I will definitely recommend it to my client .....See you again soon
A absolute must try if you want to spoil yourself or your wife/husband.
Food is fantastic and filling, the fresh juice is perfect and the steaks and ribs are tender and juicy. The reason for 4 stars is due to the "crumb" mushrooms, unfortunately can see and taste that it was frozen and the coating isn't crumb but still nice and the sauce is great. All in all a definite yes and place I'll go to again soon.
Good cuts of meat. Restaurant is small and clean. Medium rare was real medium rare. Not Belgravia medium rare, so if you want it well done, make sure to ask them. Ribs are outstanding, nice and lean, tender. Turkish delight milkshake was awful, it tastes too perfumed. Highly recommended overall though.
A lovely place with amazing food, the pasta and fries are delicious. Service was great as well. 10/10
Ribs was probably the best ribs I've had. Succulent, juicey. It literally melts in your mouth. For all the time I've eaten there I can't say I had a one bad experience yet.
The breakfast menu is limited compared to the rest of the menu however the portion of the meal did not disappoint. True value for the money and it sure tasted delicious.
I had the TBW Croissant Benedict which was only R100 and my friend had the scones (which was really filling). You receive two scones for R65. We shared the cheesy steak melt and it was just as delicious.
This was my second time at The Butcher’s Wife and both times the restaurant was not full. Therefore I recommend you go once it opens or in the middle of the month. Awkward part is when you are so close to the next table and can hear everything they say. The venue is quite small and space is limited. However the food is prepared in a decent time and the waiting period isn’t long. So less awkward moments.
The food is really worth it, the service is good and you really get value for your money.
The food was amazing, service was also good. It's a great place for chilled vibes.
