Review Bo Kaap Kombuis - Cape Town Central

Albert Gerber

Such personalised service it feels like you are visiting the family which owns the business in their home. After we had already paid we enquired with the sweet owner what denning vleis was. We were already out the door when she insisted that we return for a free taste. To our amazement a whole plate of denning vleis with all the accompaniments arrived. Wow

Stopped for lunch. Today they had a buffet with salads, chicken curry, rice, babotie, yellow rice, dhal and so much more. A starter was served and also dessert.

This is a MUST if you are in Cape Town! Oustanding cuisine, breathtaking views and if you are fortunate enough to meet the owners Yusuf and Nazli, you will also hear about the history of the Bo-Kaap and the incredible people that make up this cosmopolitam community. Book now!

Beautiful view overlooking Cape Town and Table Mountain. Family run, traditional cape Malay buffet.

We had two different taster platters. To me only the denningvleis was fantastic, while the other dishes are made much better at home or by family or friends. Very nice service though and the view is outstanding!

My family we took a trip to Bo Kaap Kombuis for the buffet experience to be honest would’ve liked a wider variety however the food was okay traditional and the desert was absolutely delicious you will definitely enjoy the views make booking id suggest to get a good seating it’s not very big but it was nice and quiet…they don’t make use of Amex card and no soft music playing in the back keep that in mind overall it’s was good

What a joyous and delightful host and family. Authentic Cape Malay traditional food and the views are stunning. It doesn't get better than this. Have the starter samoosa which was part of the buffet, you won't want one from anywhere else ever again. Recommended to me by #Cape Malay Consultants @Nazreen Salie.

Firstly, this is a business that is family owned, Nazli and Boeta Yusuf is always on hand to welcome you with a warm smile. Secondly, you have an amazing view over the Bo-Kaap and the CBD, from a restaurant in the heart of this cultural hub. Thirdly, you have an amazing food spread being prepared, freshly prepared, FULL OF FLAVOR, traditional Malay Cuisine at its best. The pricing is on par with other restaurants, just more value / quality food, for your money from this restaurant. The restaurant had gone over and above most Cape Town restaurants, by having screens installed between tables, in an effort to prioritize safety for patrons where it comes to covid. I've taken many local and international guests to this establishment and they have never disappointed. I recommend this restaurant to everyone, and the warm reception by the owners, makes it feel like your visiting family opposed to eating at a restaurant.

Not all heroes wear capes, but the Malays are real superheroes when it comes to their traditional cuisine. I decided to visit the colourful and pretty streets of Bo Kaap, and I would say to eat the food of the people here is a wonderful experience, or as the kids would say No Caap. Really friendly service, tasty food and gorgeous views. So you should curry here as fast as you can, pay the reasonable rices and get it in you. Highly recommend!

I was invitee to dinner by colleagues. The view from the restaurant is unbeatable. The food waa good but a bit cold seeing as it is a buffet. However all the typical Cape Malay food was on offer and very tasty. We were served a very moist chocolate cake and icecream for dessert which was lovely.

What a beautiful restaurant and an equally impressive menu and service. A true gem, hidden in the quaint suburb called Bo-Kaap. This place is also a perfect venue for that intimate wedding or special occasion. Loved everything about it, especially the very tasty meals and reasonable prices. Booking is essential.

We stumbled across this place whilst checking out Bo-Kaap. The view is breathtaking, as if the the mountain is on display just to this area. There are only 2 tables on the balcony so booking is a must. Great covid practices with screens between tables & waiter keeps distance. The food is very traditional & the establishment does have a warm family feel. No kids menu but they do offer chicken nuggets & chips. The falooda shake is heavenly. Pricing averages around 140-220 for a main meal. The Parking is on the street amongst residential holdings.

Finally experienced the food after lockdown. Tasty is a definite yes. One of Cape Town's best curry houses.

Everything is perfect from the delicious Malay food to the impeccable service and the breath taking views. We keep coming back again and again. I highly recommend Bo-Kaap Kombuis.
