Osumo is my absolute favourite health concious eatery. I almost always make a special trip from Strand to Green Point when I visit from Pretoria to get my fix. Tiger chai for the win! I do hope you open one on this side if the world one day!

I absolutely LOVE this health food spot, the food is really delicious. I must compliment you guys on your iced coffee- I have had iced coffees all over Cape Town but none come close to this iced coffee! It is heaven! And since I live in Stellenbosch, I will drive 40min just for a fix of Osumo <3 Thank you guys xxx

Sat in traffic from Bishopscourt to Greenpoint for a day out in the sunshine and the first thing we did was stop at Osumo for lunch. It's definitely one of our favourite lunch spots in Cape Town and we are yet to be disappointed. The food is fresh and tastes healthy and from the friendly staff we can tell that it's made with love! The Fajita wrap is my favourite and one day I'll try something else! Thank you for the delicious food, good service and for making our tummies very happy!!

I love love love Osumo - the only complaint is that we do not have an Osumo our side which is very bleak as I would love to be a frequent customer. Table View is very far away from Sea Point/Green Point and Cavendish. Bummed that Canal Walk's branch closed as well. Perhaps consider a branch our side so that we can also support your business? The new Table Bay Mall could use an Osumo.

Mangodilla smoothie: always a winner. Tuna salad: delicious and filling. I’d only like more sundried tomatoes. I appreciate the packaging of the take away as well. Keeps food looking great. This is a great place for a quick meal. 👌🏾

I had a wrap to go from Osumo in a lunchtime flurry. Despite being really busy, they manage the rush very well and food comes out pretty swiftly. I had the sunflower power wrap, sans feta, and I enjoyed it a lot. I'd go back for a reliable, healthy lunch.

I absolutely die for Osumo! Whenever I catch myself at Cavendish I never leave without popping in. The Butternut Boy stir fry is my go to take away dish, I recommend it to everyone looking for something light yet filling. Their service is quick and easy, I can grab a meal in between classes.
I'm a big fan of iced coffee and Osumo's one has only made me grow fonder.

*IT'S A 'YES' FROM ME*
Quite fond of Osumo everywhere. It has a great variety of meals in the form of wraps, sandwiches, and salads for a decent price. But I am hoping that one day they will resort to high fat or normal fat dressings and condiments. Ideal for health-freaks.
My favourite: Popeye Salad without the sweet soy & olive dressing.

Great, healthy alternative that doesn't break the bank. Portion sizes are fair, meals are wholesome and filling, and the staff are always upbeat and friendly. It's my normal go-to brunch spot before I do my grocery shopping in the mall. Love their bircher muesli!

Osumos food is healthy and very tasty. Tonight we had the warm butternut chick wrap and the mayo on the wrap made it so yummy. We also had the "with love" smoothie which is a strawberry banana and coconut smoothie and it had a very good flavour. They are also very quick at this branch which is great.

Been to Osumo a couple of times and have always been happy with whatever I order; great selection on the menu and a fantastic place to go when you want something on the healthier side of life. THeir breakfast wrap, egg whites delight and butternut boy stir fry are all delicious choices. Service is generally good and quick.

I am a regular here. The food is healthy, reasonably priced and is a quick fix. There are many things on the menu however I usually stick with the sticky plum chicken salad or wrap as they are so tasty! And get a smoothie with it.

Yesterday waseem and I decided to try the osumo salads for lunch. I had the feta and butternut and he had the plum chicken salad. They were both rather big and quite tasty. It was also really well priced, basically the price of a whopper. I also had the strawberry blast or something smoothie. I believe it kicks Kauai out of the water

Osumo has become my regular choice of on-the-go, healthy takeaway food. Situated close to the university, and even closer to the gym, it makes for a convenient stop after a workout, on the way back to class.

I've never had a smoothie I didn't like. I usually order a 500ml for lunch and it's always enough to drag me through to dinner. In fact, I actually look forward to going there and trying a new smoothie - I know I won't be disappointed. The Mangodilla is ice cold and refreshing, a perfect treat for a hot summer's day. The Mint Crunch will definitely satisfy any chocolate craving, while still making you feel light and good about yourself. The Very Berry is the ultimate berry shake and packed full of all the good stuff, while still being absolutely delicious.

As for the food, I can't get myself away from ordering something other than a wrap, simply because it's the most convenient. A firm favorite of mine is the 3-6-9 salmon wrap - it doesn't sound like much, but it tastes delicious! Don't be deceived by the average-sounding ingredients, this wrap will leave your tastebuds begging for more. I also love the flintstone wrap - crispy bacon bits, perfectly balanced by smooth, refreshing pieces of feta and avo. I've also tried the sticky plum chicken wrap, seeing that it seems to be the wrap of choice for most people here. While still being deliciously satisfying (again, I've never had something that I didn't enjoy), it didn't wow me as much as I thought it was going to. In my opinion, the salmon is still the winner, but I'm looking forward to exploring the rest of their menu, in particular their salads and stir fries.

What always impresses me about Osumo is the freshness of their ingredients, and I think that this is what makes their food and smoothies stand out above the rest. I also love the vibe in the kitchen - I often stand and watch the staff while I wait for my takeaway, and it always seems to me like they're having so much fun and really enjoy what they do. They're always making jokes and helping each other out, it really seems like a family rather than a group of coworkers. And through all the jokes, they still manage to serve their food fast and efficiently - I've never waited more than 10 minutes.

I love Osumo! Every time I visit, I'm just more impressed by their top quality smoothies, their mouthwatering food, their impeccable service and clean environment. It's food that I can enjoy and feel good about afterwards. However, it sets you back quite a bit - my usual order of a 500ml smoothie and a wrap never comes in below R100 and they're definitely more pricy than Kauai or Rootbar. So not cheap, but you definitely pay for what you get! Top quality, highly recommended! Well done Osumo!

Osumo is my favourite take-away, sit down, smoothie, everything! 

My all-time favourite & recommendation is the Flintstone wrap or salad. It always tastes amazing! The bacon is super crispy and the dressing is just amazing. The other favourite I have is the Sticky Plum Chicken salad or wrap if I feel like having something sweet.

I absolutely love the Vanilla Chilla smoothie as well as the Chocolate Frost smoothie. Both are fantastic.

The staff are always friendly, helpful and super patient when I can't decide on what to have. The service is super quick, I have never waited long for anything. 

I would say that Osumo is way better than Kauai, the prices are very reasonable and the food just tastes much better!

Thank you guys for the amazing food!

There are days when I crave nothing else except an Osumo meal. Healthy food with great flavour. They have delicious smoothies and also good selection of hot drinks. I love the rice noodle dishes, and there are so many vegetarian options on the menu as well. And they don't skimp on avocados!

I am a huge oSumo fan, I've returned many times and been at Canal Walk, Green Point and Cavendish stores. I must admit I had a horrible experience at Cavendish oSumo the last time I was there. Food was not great and they got the order wrong twice, we also waited very long.. My favourite is definitely Canal Walk! It's the best:) The staff are friendly at all the stores though:)

Lovely healthy food offerings at great prices, in a lovely atmosphere. It seems to have a great ethos. I've only been once, but based on my one experience my only criticism is with the service - the staff seemed disinterested which didn't seem to fit in with the authenticity of the rest of the experience which is a pity. Otherwise, great place for a healthy treat!

Osumo has a variety on the menu. It's also great that most items can be enjoyed as a wrap, salad or stir fry. Sticky plum chicken wrap for the win! It's delicious and super filling. The staff are friendly and it's a great option for when you want to be healthy😝
The vanilla chilla and chocolate frost smoothies are also really yum!

Definitely my favourite healthy-eating go-to restaurant! From the fresh smoothies to the filling and wholesome wraps and salads - Osumo is really the epitome of how tasty healthy food can be!

The red root salad at Osumo I would recommend to anyone. You are getting good value for money. The salad comprises of sunflower seeds, beetroot, avo, sundries tomato and feta. Definitely worth a try!!! Another must is their butternut chick wrap. Overall Osumo is a restaurant that produces good quality food, that has nailed a new healthier take on fast food! The atmosphere is very young and vibey, however it often gets cramped especially during their more busier periods during the day. I no doubt am a regular customer!

Excellent service. Innovative concept. My default choice for a health fix. I would highly recommend the 'Hunter' smoothie which tastes like an almond milk milkshake (but with all the concomitant health benefits). I would also highly recommend anything with their sticky plumb chicken- it is incredibly delicious. Streets ahead of Kauai and other competitors in the southern suburbs.

In my efforts to be healthy I decided to try Osumo out.

I had the mangodilla smoothie. I loved it! I wasn't quiet sure what to eat so I decided to read some reviews and it lead me to try the sticky plum wrap. Everyting was packed with flavour and tasted super fresh.

The service was good and I found the waiters to be friendly.

I will definitely be back to try more of their smoothies and to have the sticky plum wrap.

Grabbed a smoothie on the go one afternoon. The lady at the counter was very patient with me being indecisive as usual, but with their selection I can be forgiven this time. There are loads to choose from and all reasonably priced. I decided on the Mango Mantaray (being a mango fan), it was refreshing and delish.

Folllow up visits - had a butternut and feta salad, which was really good. They aren't shy with ingredients. The mint crunch and chocolate frost smoothies will satisfy a chocolate craving ;)

I've been wanting to try Osumo for a while but never gotten around to it until today. I ordered the clifton 4th smoothie-strawberry and pineapple and I have to say the taste is fantastic! I'm keen to come back and try the food and other smoothies.
However there is definitely room for improvement in terms of the staffs friendliness . I felt a bit ignored and like they weren't really interested in engaging with customers much.

This is probably our favourite place to grab a quick, healthy takeaway lunch! It's the very first Osumo we ever tried and it's where my obsession began. Recently, most of my orders have been made over the phone but on the occasions that I have physically ordered over the counter, I have always been served by wonderful, enthusiastic and friendly staff. It makes a really good impression when you are given service with a smile at a joint that is as busy as the Osumo is at Cavendish! I'm really bad at deviating from my favourite menu choices, and usually opt for the Sunflower Power Salad or Fajita Wrap, but I brought myself to try the Pink Quinoa Salad the last time! The quinoa could have been a bit more flavoursome but it was still delicious and fresh, topped with ripe avo slices and crunchy walnuts.

I would also highly recommend the Tiger Chai smoothie. If you're a banana fan, a chai fan and a fro-yo fan like me, then you will LOVE this equsite smoothie blend. Keep doing what you do Osumo!!

I needed a quick bite and am trying to stay away from quick fix junk food - so I stopped in at Osumo in cavendish. The staff were welcoming and friendly but I was a little overwhelmed by the menu - it's huge for a quick service restaurant and in tiny writing! Once I had figured out what I wanted the ordering and prep was very fast. I went for a red velvet juice (beetroot, carrot, Apple and Orange) and a beef rump salad. Although I'm not a fan of iceberg lettuce the rest of the salad was tasty and fresh.

I love Osumo! The decor is fresh, light and white and servers are extremely friendly and polite. One can see in to the kitchen which makes you feel better being able to directly see how your food is being prepared. Staff on the kitchen seem to have a great team ethic with lots of communication.

The food is both delicious, filling and healthy! Despite prices being slightly high, it's all worth it as you receive generous portions and top quality.

I personally love the butternut wrap and all of the smoothies! The granadilla one is both fresh and tasty. The vanilla smoothie with added blueberries reminds me of soft vanilla yoghurt flavor with a bright purple color from the blueberries added goodness

I love Osumo's smoothies and juices, and I can't seem to stop ordering the tiger chai since it was introduced to me by Dominique Andrea Vieira. This time around I also tried an all-green juice (with some apple juice to help get the spirulina down) and it was pretty good. Fast service and a bright interior help add to the nice vibes at Osumo, and I'll keep going back for more.

Love osumo for having healthy, delicious food available. Went here for lunch the other day and had a vegetarian dish of stir fried rice noodles with spicy butternut. It was seriously good. Prices are decent and portion size was rather large. I couldn't finish it and took leftovers home. Great Tribe coffee also.

Pumping some muscle and wanna feel like Popeye? Get the Popeye Salad! There'll be little to no regrets. It's so wholesome and packed with delicious goodness. The Bbq Rump salad makes for a close second.

Let's have a moment for smoothie appreciation - Chocolate Frost & Peanut Butter Boost. Yes please, and thank you! The smoothies are made very quickly and the staff is super chirpy which makes for a good dash when you're busy!

Another plus is that the menu has a wide array of healthy meals and they also cater to a good many intolerances. Also, freshly squeezed orange juice, one doesn't find this all too often!

Tip decently and the staff do a little cheer. If not for the great food then that definitely makes my day!

Popped into my local for my favourite butternut chicken salad. A great alternative place to go if you are sick of Kauai. A really great menu and pretty fast service. They have a loyalty program and by using my points I got R30 off my salad. Winning! Consistently good healthy food. Give it a go! :)

Had an awesome breakie here with my boet. I had the breakfast wrap and was stoked to see I could have poached eggs in my wrap. Very cool. I grow tired of scrambled eggs being the only option to place in a wrap. I had a Truth coffee black Americano, no milk...and no sugar as I am sweet enough 😜. As if that wasn't enough I decided to try the peanut butter, banana and toast breakfast. Boy, I am a phat pig! It was awesome and I was starved, so a win win for both parties.

I can't find my loyalty card, bleak!!! I'll find it!!! Watch this space. I eat here a lot ;).

Ordered the Fajita and was not disappointed. The service as fast, and the food was good. The avocado was ripe and fresh, not guacamole, and the meal was served with a wedge of lemon which just brought the flavors together. I had mine with the chicken, and they were not shy, but got a bit carried away with the creamed cottage cheese which was a little overwhelming because it wasn't spread. Other than that, worth going to again.
