Went there for New Years Eve. Great ambience and entertainment but 3/7 people from our table had bad food poisoning at the venue which really spoilt our evening.

As always a good variety was on hand. Went there for a staff year end party. And for what is was worth it was well received. The only downside was that because we had a lunch booking and had some formalities to attend to while there. By 3.30 most of the food was finished and was not replaced. Around 4 they started clearing for the 19:00 dinner reservations. So not criticizing and they did help where they could. Suggesting just that you do inform your guests of his arrangement.

Probably the best buffet I've ever been to. I came here on new year's eve and it was amazing. They had a lovely marimba group playing when we arrived and later on in the night they had such a cool band. I loved how they played such a variety of music. The food was sooo amazing!!!! They had such a variety 9f food there I might have gotten full from being overwhelmed lol. The food was really good. We got mini champagnes just before 12 to celebrate the new year. Our waitress wasn't the best she kept bringing the wrong drinks orders and when our bill came it had drinks which we didnt consume. She rectified it though. I will definitely come back here very soon

The fresh selection of food was readily available... We indulged in every single course... The traditional Sunday lunch was succulent... The Chefs Special variety of curries literally left us licking our fingers...

After we took in the views, devoured some delicious wines... We prepared ourselves for the dessert valley... Which did not leave us wanting...

Now it's time to head home for the much needed Sunday Afternoon naps... Eugene Swart 💯👍🏻🍴

There is a nice variety of food available at the buffet dinner. It was my first time trying game meat and I'm definitely a fan after it was grilled so well. I was impressed with the starter section that included little nibbles such as droe wors, biltong, peanuts and spicy corn. The service was very good and welcoming, and we got to enjoy some great local music while we ate.

I was really impressed by this restaurant. If we ever have international guests visiting, we will take them there.

Ambiance: Relaxed with some African infusions. When the marimba band starts to play quite relaxed African music, the mood is set properly!

Service: Service is very difficult to review, because it depends on the person who assists you. I was very impressed with the floor manager who also welcome everyone as they walk in and sing out loud when it is your birthday. Our waiter was so well trained and did everything perfectly well.

Food: This is a buffet restaurant. Apart from many salads, desserts, and mains, I think one thing that makes them different is the variety of game meat that they offer and cook for you to your liking. Sometimes they do get a bit confused with the food, though...

Recommendation: One thing I missed at this restaurant was a fire. Even just outside.

The food was to on top off each other so it was hard to dish up as people just can't do things in a line 😫 the food was okay 👌 the sweet treats was not nice at all . The music was the best part of the night 🌙.

Love Chief's Boma Restaurants, all meals were well prepared and hot, the dessert selection is rather disappointing as the had a very limited selection. But the meals were delicious and the variety was pleasing 😋 The live band was great, most of the guests were Celebrating, so obviously a hot spot for celebrations, but the tables are spread well over the restaurant and privacy is attainable.

It was my first time here, but I liked it except for the waiting time for your meat to be prepared. They need to improve, like being allowed to place an order in advance. This place has got various kinds of meat like Kudu, Impala, Springbok, etc. and it's prepared while you wait. Overall, the food is very fresh and succulent.

The evening buffet was awesome. There’s a huge selection from appetisers to desserts. You can also choose your meat to be cooked in front of you, although there is a queue of people lined up. The restaurant has an African theme and we were entertained by a live band. Service was also good and our waitress was attentive. Ample secure parking available. The only negatives would be some of the meats were too fatty, desserts didn’t taste 100% fresh and the restaurant was humid (fans weren’t on). But other than that, great experience.

I must say, the difference between eating in a random fast food place and this establishment is the experience and the level service I received from California was exceptional, a wholesome meal served with a joyous heart and smile was an experience worth sharing... I will definitely return for the atmosphere, the food and the great service.

A great restaurant in Johannesburg 's suburb, the grilled meat is to die for, you can eat springbok and buffalo and the buffet is excellent too. There was also a group playing music so the ambiance was incredible. We loved this one.

This place is perfect for a group of friends or family dinner settings or if you have international friends visiting that you want to give the South African experience then this is your place to go. I have been there a few times and I highly recommend their stews, especially the LAMB stew but my husband loves the beef stew near the salads. Overall all their dishes are amazing and if you prefer fresh cut meats that will be braai'd for you that also is a winner. I highly recommend visiting this place if you like buffets.
