Loved loved loved this place! We went with my 2 year old nephew and he wasn't in the greatest of moods so it didn't start off too great when we arrived, but as soon as he went back there to the play area his mood completely changed and he was so happy - which made us all happy too. That was the number 1 reason why I loved my experience here. Secondly the food was absolutely perfect. I can't think of anything that wasn't good. Definitely the best place for kids - and for adults too as you can enjoy the best of both worlds. I highly recommend Bambanani. ��
The concept, the choice of color, the food. Everything was impeccable. Really enjoyed having a real alternative where kids can play freely and parents can enjoy and relax ! I strongly recommend it :)
Great place to go if you’re a large family with with kids. The food does take a while to prepare but it’s all worth the wait!!!
Bamabani has truly improved in the last year. The food now matches their fantastic childcare staff. This is the go to spot if you and your partner/friends enjoys eating together. Nothing makes a mom happier than having her hot coffee and breakfast hot. The Jozi scramble hits the spot!
Lovely place to take baby and the little ones. The food is great and they have excellent child minders. If you sit outside you have an excellent view to see your little one play at all time. The play area is top notch and is clean regularly. They got awesome baby chair and they don't mind if you ask for warm water to warm up baby food or ifyou baby decides to empty out the suger all over the table. Definitely will be go there again.
Awesome kid friendly restaurant, good service and good food! Desserts were delicious. We spent 2,5 hours there for dinner, the kids were fully occupied and happy!
Great venue for kids, child minders are superb. Could enjoy our breakfast while the little ones were being entertained. Food not brilliant but above average. Will definitely be back.
So happy to have found this place. Kid friendly restaurants are few and far between in Jozi. They have a great play area and a lovely menu, such variety. We shared the Vietnamese spring rolls to start, absolutely phenomenal. So tasty. And then the Chimchurri steak and Morroccan lamb for mains. Really great. Will be sure to return time and time again.
Great atmosphere, the most amazing place to take tour children as they have child minders that watch them constantly. They not only have an amazing outdoor set up, which includes an insane jungle gym and play area, but they also have an indoor games room for those rainy days.
This place is awesome for breakfast. There is a large playground with child minders and it has good food. My meal was spicy mince on toast and it was very tasty, but service was not the fastest. I enjoy the food and parents can have a calm breakfast while children play.
Have been coming here for years - bit they seem to be under new management as a few things have changed.
All definitely for the better.
It wasn't ever bad before, the food has always been rather good, but the service was always lacking.
Today, it has been a great experience.
The food ( I had poached eggs, asparagus and bacon) was delicious, service was better and of course, the main reason is parents frequent the place is due to the wonderful playground and kids activities that are available.
There is decent WiFi so you can even get a little work done while your kids happily play in the background.
All in all, a great place for parents to come and bring the kids
There aren't meant kid friendly restaurants in Johannesburg. This one is also baby friendly. What a nice surprise. Such a fun play area for the Kids and lots of toys to play with. When busy it's rather cramped though. Extensive menu available
What a lovely gem, with such a special play area for children! Truly a wonderful place for children to safely explore, and the child minders are excellent.
Food has improved a great deal since my first visit - the chips are especially excellent.
Child minders are really good with the kids so parents can actually have a break.
Beer selection needs to be improved as it was very limited perhaps just on that day stock was low.
Overall service and food was good.
Lovely place for a family outing. The humble street view is very deceptive. Once you enter the establishment, you find a whole new world inside.
My child loved ALL the amenities on offer. We spent a good three hours there. The service and food were good. I also think that we may have had the best seats in the house :) The kiddies' burger and chips portion was a little smaller than expected but delicious.
It was an afternoon well spent. We'll definitely be back!
The perfect place for parents to enjoy themselves with their kids and friends whilst the kids are playing in a safe and fun environment. I won't recommend Bamanani unless you want to enjoy a meal out with your or friends' kiddos. It is very much family orientated. The menu caters for a variety of dietary needs and drink options are extensive from coffees, juices to wines and beer. Unfortunately what I wanted to order was not available and communicated to me slightly late but other than that, I had a pleasant time with friends and their toddler.
Place is great and child friendly. Service and food was good. Unfortunately,there was no water on the day we went. Otherwise, it's a great restaurant.
1st Time we went there. What a nice place. We ordered chicken livers, nachos and a pizza. All delicious. Great wine selection. Best part is the play area for kids and great staff to entertain the kids. We will return soon.
Fantastic place, great atmosphere. There aren't many child friendly restaurants with child minders in Joburg. My daughter had the most fun, I was able to play with her and also spend time with my sister and gran while she was taken care of. There will be many more visits.
Bambanani is a family-friendly paradise! The lively, colorful ambiance is perfect for kids and adults alike. Their menu caters to all tastes, with delicious options from burgers to healthy salads. The staff's warmth and attentiveness make dining here a joy. Parents can relax while kids play in the safe play area. It's a place where family time and good food combine seamlessly, making every visit a delightful experience. Bambanani truly lives up to its name - bringing families together with great food and fun.
I loved the aesthetic of this place, I took some really great pictures, we were a big group and they accommodated us. We were comfortable and free with no restrictions, the manager is doing a great job honestly, she even came to bid farewell as we were leaving. The pizza is top tier! And everything is super affordable
Not the best food I have tasted, I enjoyed nothing and was not impressed with our (waiter),
Child minders are good, and environment is most friendly and welcoming for the kids, security is good too.
