Took my beautiful Janique to celebrate our 1st anniversary and her birthday. I haven't been to Wombles for many years and was a bit worried it may have lost some of its charm I so fondly remember from Parkhurst.
I should have known better - the evening was spectacular and attention to detail second to none. The service was world class and the food exquisite!!!
Thank you Wombles for making our evening so memorable. Can't wait for our next visit. I promise I won't wait for so long this time�
Amazing food, service, decor, ambiance... Great everything. It's so worth the slightly higher prices for food
Absolutely outstanding! The food, the service and atmosphere is all incredible. A definite 10 out of 10! 🌟
If this restaurant ups its food a bit it has top 5 potential
Visited the establishment on a weeknight. We received a warm welcome upon arrival. The restaurant decor gives a warm relaxed vibe. From our starters to the main course all the dishes were tasty. Our server was attentive. This place is a gem. Can’t wait for another visit.
Had the most amazing dinner at Wombles! I took my boyfriend there for his birthday, and we were both extremely impressed. The setting is cozy, warm and romantic. The staff are all incredibly friendly and the service is fantastic.
For our main, we had the fillet on the bone which comes with a red wine and bone marrow sauce - it was delicious! For dessert, I had the pavlova. It is easily one of the best desserts I have ever had, I would definitely rate it 10/10. My boyfriend had the malva pudding and said it was one of the best he’s ever had. The sparkler and birthday message were a very sweet touch. We can’t wait to come back!!
the service is unbelievable. The steaks ate just delicious and lovely vegetables served with all mains. A large selection of wines and whiskeys as well.
Another superb night with friends at Wombles .
Stunning food and service (as usual) from the moment one walks in the door and is greeted by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. I can highly recommend the fillet on the bone it just melts in the mouth and is absolutely delicious, my wife raved about the duck with cherry sauce along with the complementary Wombles vegetables, To follow my favorite at Wombles is the Pavlova.
After numerous recommendations, I decided to give Wombles a go. Just off William Nicol, you find this gem. The welcome at the door was warm and we were shown to our table. I felt at home. We were given a chance to peruse the wine menu and opted for the Rupert and Rothchild Classique wine. The maître d gave us a run down on the daily specials & recommendations.
Opted for the following:
Starters: Duck Liver Pâté (8.5/10)
Mains: Lamb Shank (9/10) and Beef Fillet Stroganoff (7/10). Served with veggies.
Dessert: Pavlova (8/10) and Malva (9/10)
The service was outstanding. A big thanks to the service crew of making this day special.
Amazing restaurant for any occasion. We’ve been twice to celebrate our Anniversary and the guys have always made it very special for us. Just beautiful!
This is five-star rating from reception to leaving! The atmosphere, the service, the food - everything with attention to detail - all combining to make a dinner experience par excellence. What more can one want for a truly exceptional evening out!
This is the place to eat, our experience was absolutely fantastic!
We loved the decor, the attention paid by all the staff, and then the food totally lived up to the high expectations which the rest of the experience had set!
Price point in line with the overall impact it had on us.
Can’t recommend it highly enough.
Sophisticated decor, excellent service and fantastic food! Wombles is definitely a place to save up for and splurge on a wonderful evening out. The fillet steak was cooked perfectly and was nice and tender, definitely one of the best steaks I’ve had in Joburg. We also had the venison special which was really tasty. My only gripe was the small and quite average salad, which came with a ridiculous R75 price tag. Everything else was worth the fine dining prices though.
The ambiance & vibe is fantastic. This East African themed restaurant calls for a unique dining experience. The dishes are tasty and different so if you don't want the same old food at the same old restaurant then this is the place to go. Don't get confused with which waiter is there to serve you as they all play a role with different specialities. Great place for a date night as this is fine dining at its best.
Wombles is a great and amazing experience!
Food
Wombles is famous for their Steak - and with good reason. I had the T-bone, it was huge we cooked to my liking, tasted fresh and they did not ruin it with sauces and all those. Just pure 100% beef! Their Ice Cream is really second to none. All homemade and tasty.
Atmosphere
The setting is ambient, luxurious and elegant. They had candle lights on the tables and rose paddles. The place is really gorgeous.
Service
Its pure fine dining service you get, from great waiters that are always checking and refilling your drink, to hosts that explain specials and food to you and professionalism all round.
Wombles is really a great dining experience, go there with a good budget and make reservations.
Very 'colonial' I'd say old chap with a touch of class. Very friendly and efficient service and also more than one patron attending to all your cunnelary needs. Decor is fantastic and. If you take the people away you could easily imagine that you once had a farm in Africa and your colonials would be over for some high tea soon. The food was scrumptious and I will go back again when I'm an in that side of the woods.
Wonderful venue for a special occasion. Classic old school steakhouse but with all the trimmings - the staff are friendly and professional, the atmosphere is warm and cozy and the menu is impressive. Presentation was excellent. We’ll definitely be back.
Superb 5 star service! Perfect for special occasions and guests to Jozi. Their signature steak specials are a crowd pleaser. Wonderful balance of colonial charm with a homely and comfortable setting. A friendly & professional team will go out of their way to make your dining experience special. Must book in advance.
What a fantastic restaurant. The whole vibe and ambiance is very welcoming yet professional, they have managed to combine a place where both business and family related get togethers can be held. The staff are well trained and the food absolutely amazing, I will definitely be making a concerted effort to go back there. Thank you for a great birthday dinner
Saw this place and sounded like an old school kids memory!!!! Arrived there and signage was bold....this means they are proud of what they do and want to pull you in. As I walked in I immediately knew this was above the norm. Decor was upmarket. People were relaxing outside after work for a glass of wine. Immediately the host invited me in and lured me to my table. Welcome bread and garlic butter is always a win for me. Had a 350g Sirloin steak and Fries with Garlic sauce and Onion Rings and a bottle of Babylonstoren 'Babel'.....Steak was excellent!!! Wine accelerated tjengood feelings. Overall this restaurant is very good and service is top notch even at international standards. I like big portions and this place delivers on quality and quantity. Loved it!!!
Decor is amazing, perfectly suited for the cuisine.
Service and food was excellent.
Excellent place for small and large groups!
Wombles is a brilliant steakhouse. Definitely not a place for vegetarians. If you are offended by or opposed to eating game, then this is not the place for you. They serve regular meats as well as game though.
Portions are very generous, staff are efficient and friendly. Very expensive to eat here though, so unless you can afford to spend large amounts keep this place for very special occasions.
My meal was chips, 500g prime rib steak and a glass of wine and it came to just around R550 for my meal and drink alone. Definitely worth the spend though. The steak was just how I liked it and tasted absolutely wonderful.
I have no idea what they do to their french fries but those are addictive and delicious.
There is wheelchair accessibility here, and I would recommend placing a reservation.
