An absolutely stunning branch of The Hussar Grill franchise! Their mussels are so fresh and burst with flavour, the steaks are cooked to perfection and the service is on point. Management is completely hands on and aware of every aspect of the restaurant. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to have a scrumptious meal in a great atmosphere!

Also took a friend to dinner because we previously tried the Cape Town branch in Green Point which was amazing. I have to say the Morningside food was excellent and service was great. Even received a complimentary dessert cocktail each. Perhaps it was a quieter night and everyone else was in Cape Town. I thoroughly enjoyed the food and experience as I had in Cape Town.

There's a speciality steak there, think it's the Madagascar Pepper fillet or something like that. It's like liquid, absolutely best fillet in town

Had a wonderful lunch at The Hussar Grill and ordered the filet on the bone, my friend had the kingklip and it was equally flavourful. The Greek salad was fresh and the chocolate fondant cake was fantastic. There was also a homemade ice cream, kind of like a nougat but I forgot to ask what flavour it was - very unusual and delicious. There is a lovely selection of wines and the staff was warm and polite.

We’ve been here twice and the food and service has always been great - made us feel so at home and we will definitely go back! I find the prices very reasonable compared to restaurants in the area or those with similar quality/types of food. I also saw on the menu that they don’t charge corkage, which I think is a great idea and gesture (haven’t tried it yet).
The only room for improvement I can think of is the lighting (for better ambience).

Once again another wonderful meal at this specific outlet. Restaurant was full and the service was still great. Kitchen obviously well organised as you did not wait long for you food to get to the table.

I had the T bone steak and it was wonderful.
Good wine selection as well.

I don't think that you can go wrong by going to any of the Hussar Grills as I have never had a bad meal at any of them.
I think that this restaurant is way better than The Butcher Shop, The Grill House or Wombles for that matter.

The consistency of the Hussar is indeed something to discuss whether it is the hussar in tokai or morningside the service and food is consistent as I told my friend I was with the Hussar is now private school spur so it’s expected having said that I was little disappointed I wanted a medium blue cheese steak and got a very well done steak but I will probably be back

They make great steaks. It was great seeing the meat board and choosing cuts from there. That offered snacks while we wait for our food. I can't fault anything. The staff was friendly and checked up on us often. Keep up the good work

Probably one of the best steak places that I have been to in Sandton. Excellent atmosphere. The only reason why I have not given this place 5 stars is that I ordered my steak medium rare and it was done more like medium. So I would recommend emphasizing how you like your steak done if you choose to dine here.

Okay, just to begin with, I went to the Hussar Grill at Monte Casino, but I couldn't find it on Zomato, so I hope it's the same franchise.

I was there on a date with my girlfriend, but I got there before her, a full hour to be exact. As I sat there waiting for her to arrive, I had a good conversation with one of the waiters. It wasn't even the waiter serving me and I was impressed by how we had so much in common. I liked the fact that they have employees who want to get to know their customers rather than just serve them. The drinks service was good, and I was also using the restaurants WiFi. My girlfriend eventually arrived and we decided to have dessert (Chocolate fondant) because our movie was screening in 45 minutes. Wow wow wow. The presentation, the execution, I couldn't fault it. And the taste was just heavenly.

Also the restaurant layout is classy, and welcoming. It's a fine dining experience that I recommend for all. I'm definitely going back

This is a really good steak restaurant chain. However, the one in Cape Town is quite a lot better. The steak here, although really good, was not the best steak ever (that would be in The Hussar Grill in Rondebosch). The service was really good. I really like the fact that you can bring your own wine and they don't charge corkage.

Went for lunch to Hussar Grill earlier this week. Really had a great time! The Fried Crumbed Camembert starter was delicious and my favourite, as was the Cured Springbok Loin Carpaccio - definitely would try both again. I order the Grilled Lamb Cutlets main, portion size was fair and the lamb tasty. We also enjoyed the Chocolate Vodka Martinis for dessert. Those who had tried the steaks rated the food well! All round good time.

For an up market steak house, the rump is below average. The cut of rump was a split piece of tough meat. Previous visits were really good which is disappointing.

Updates comment.
Went back to Hassar Morningside and I can only update my review to amazing. Complete turn around from our previous visit. Well done guys.

Had the most tender and delicious lamb shank I've ever had in my whole life at this restaurant! Our waiter ,Joe, had such in depth and insightful knowledge of the different wines available and was really pleasant. Your variety of steaks was also great. I was celebrating my fiance's birthday and your staff was really accommodating, efficient and very welcoming. Everybody at the table had great reviews from their particular steaks and ribs. And the free bottle of wine after the dinner was a great surprise. I will definitely make Hussar Grill a family steakhouse staple.

Great food, all meat came perfectly cooked and as ordered. Slight improvements on the service could be made as one starter came slightly different than that was ordered and a sauce incorrect on the main, but the amazing chocolate fondant made up for any inconvenience. Overall would definitely visit again 👍

12.04.2017 For the first time I used the Zomato booking option and I honestly wish more restaurants would do it. So easy and you can modify etc. So my colleagues and I went for dinner here as we wanted something near the office. I'm a meatlover so you don't need to ask me twice to go to a steakhouse. Our waiter showed us all the different cuts of meat available and the rib eye wasn't available as it wasnt fully aged as yet.

We were warmly greeted by the staff on arrival. Loved the olives and potato chips on the table to snack on.

I didnt order starters but tasted the boerewors our guests had and it was really nice cooked in a sauce. The Bitterballen I found nice, crunchy on the outside but a bit too mushy on the inside the texture was too smooth. I think a warning label also needs to come with the mustard... damn it packs a punch if you not careful.

I've had fillet on the bone before and loved it so this was my option with Pepper sauce and Onion rings. The rest all ordered various items. On arrival I took one cut of the steak and it was red inside. Yes I'm one of those that orders fillet well done so I had to send it back. When management came to see what the problem was it turned out my colleague on the other end also sent her steak back for being overcooked. So basically they gave us one another's steak. They were so apologetic about the mix up they even offered to replace my sauce and onion rings (extremely crunchy) which I was happily still nibbling on. In the end they insisted and brought a fresh batch. The way in which they all handled this will definitely bring me back here. I do however feel the 300g fillet was slightly small compared to one I've had elsewhere. But on my steaks return it was really amazing.

The team decided they wanted dessert. I thought I'd be adventurous and try the Hussar Grill Ice cream. Honestly I am going to be blatanty honest. What were you thinking? The combination of items sounds great. Ice cream, honeycomb, brittle, peanuts, marshmallows and chocolate. The nuts are so bitter that it kills the entire taste of the dessert and overpowers it. The marshmallow becomes slimy and I couldn't taste any honeycomb.

Another colleague had the chocolate fondant and was disappointed that there was no gooey chocolate oozing out.

Regardless they are still getting a high score for amazing service... a great steak ( round 2 ) and delicious wine options. The judges are still pending a decision on dessert 😉

Tonight was our 10 year anniversary. We LOVE The Hussar Grill's in Cape Town, with Moullie Point being the favorite. Never been to one in Jozi. But...imagine my sheer delight to find one just in time for such a celebration. I booked on Friday..knowing how popular all the Cape one's are. We didn't need to book. I did say it was a 10 year anniversary. I was a little deflated when they didn't make a bit of a fuss..but that is ok. We had the Bitterballen, as always. A little under done inside and too crispy outside..cool the oil a little. Had to ask for more mustard options, as am used to the smorgasbord of mustards you get in the Cape. I had the rump with pepper sauce and veg and chips, which did not dissapoint. My wife had the filled on the bone...ordered medium, but it came rare. After some more cooking, she was still not delighted...but she did admit that is was just something new she would not order again. We finished off with the truffles- OMG, the highlight of the meal. It was a great evening, but we did feel like we were at the mall version of the real thing. Perhaps we will try Pretoria next. Still a lovely celebration.

We first encountered Hussar Grill in stellenbosch and were very excited to hear this steakhouse had made its way to Joburg! It is a traditional steakhouse with a warm cozy atmosphere and the huge drawcard for me is that they don't ever charge you for corkage! So take along your favourite bottle of wine :) a platter of biltong, sweet potato chips and olives is served as you look through their extensive menu. Service was fantastic, we were well attended to from the minute we walked in. We started off with a mussel pot and for mains hubby had steak and I had a springbok steak which was well cooked and full of flavour! Definitely recommended!

Visited Hussar Grill for a client dinner and was not disappointed. There were nibbles for the table, including biltong, olives and I think onion rings... better than a buttered bread roll anyday! To start I had the large black mushrooms with spinach and feta, which were delicious, but the real star of the show was the 300g Fillet Moutarde cooked to perfection and the sauce delicious. Best steak I've had all year! I tried the Hussar Grill Ice Cream Dessert which was nice but I had a bit of food envy over the other desserts including my favourite - Creme Brulee. Hussar Grill is a bit pricey but the food is worth it.

Intimate restaurant, with a bit of New York steakhouse influence.
We were merrily greeted by the managers, and our waiter, Happy. Service was very very good.
Their wine selection is excellent, a bit of variety for every pallet.
Their springbok carpaccio is to die for, beautifully smoked, and just enough rocket and Parmesan cheese. I had the mussel pot, it was average, nothing special. My husband and a friend has the blue cheese sirloin. It was cooked to their preference, and tastes yum!

If I was a betting man, I would have slipped in a pun about steaks being high. This is a grillhouse after all.
But I am neither male nor betting, so I will just say something along the lines of: This is the best steak I have had in years. Seriously... go for the Fillet Béarnaise. Do. It. Now.

So Jozitown has its first Hussargrill and we couldn't be happier.
Have been to this little gem in Cape Town before and is firstly an establishment that fits in with the local history having been a stronghold in Rondebosch for many many years and then branching out with branches all over Western Cape and even a few in Africa.
The feel is very smokeroom meets old-school Grillhouse and perfect for a mafia meeting or as I'm told is quite the meeting spot for diplomats and politicians etc so pretty much the same kind of thing- nice down-lighting, dark walls , maroons and bottles and paraphernalia that suit the mood. Bit of a New York booth restaurant vibe.
There is a bar that is quite cosy of you want to catch an after-work drink or if you're waiting for a table and of course the meat display case which has some of the meat bounty on display so you can see what's in store for you.

The manager Graham was very welcoming and showed us to table- even offered brief history of place and we had a chat later in evening when it quietened down.

The service was good, the waitrons introduce themselves and know the menu and service was mostly perfect bar a few niggles.

Wine list nice and extensive - many options to suit different palates and for the thrifty to the bigger wallets. We opted for the Vergelegen Cab Merlot; was exceptional.

So being a Grillhouse it specializes in meat, but there are a few vegetarian options and some pretty good seafood options- Graham mentioned he is from Cape Town and has passed on his seafood knowledge to the Joburg lads and said their calamari and linefish dishes are great.
The meat covers the full spectrum from various cuts of steak to on-the-bone steaks to ribs and the 'gourmet' meat section where you'll find the old-school classics like the carpetbagger and Château briande, game meats as well as the lamb dishes and the heartier stuff like lamb shanks etc.

A nice touch is they offer a bowl of biltong and olives to start- something new for me.

We started with the Bitterballen which were lovely almost croquette type balls filled with mat and other ingredients and are deep-fried and served with a strong mustard. Absolutely delicious. We also had the snails with butter, garlic and Parmesan - the snails were small but very tender and feel the dish doesn't need the Parmesan it was grilled too long and didn't add much flavour.

One thing that irked me was the waitress offered the specials and said the game that evening was ostrich and something else and the rib-eye, I had heard that the rib-eye was excellent so we ordered that and the lamb shank- only to come back and say the rib-eye was sold out.

So we opted for the lamb shank on mash with rich gravy and the rump with various sides.
The rump and shank arrived but the sides took a while to get to table so we carried on and they eventually came - waitress apologized profusely but was irritating.
The lamb shank was a nice size and melt in your mouth. Mash was lovely and the sauce good and hearty.
The rump was very tender and cooked well but could've had a bit more seasoning- they offer basting etc but we don't do the saucy stuff.
We had sides of onion rings and mash and the mixed veg, which were nice but mainly peppers so wasn't as mixed as one would hope.

We kept a bit to take home and we decided to share a dessert and settled on the old classic Creme Brûlée with proper vanilla ice cream- nice crack to the burnt sugar and the ice cream was great and the Creme was good but not as smooth as it could be. But overall still demolished it.

We had a lovely time and will go back to get the elusive rib-eye or some of the ribs which looked amazing.

Top night.

What an enjoyable Tuesday evening spent at this little steakhouse with over fifty years experience in all things beef! 

On this first visit, I stuck to a glass of merlot and started with their Hussar beef biltong which was quoted on the menu as being "damn spectacular biltong since 1964" - average. Very average biltong in a rather small portion that tasted cold enough to have been de-frosted recently. 
However, for my main, I selected one of their House Specialties, the Hussar Carpetbagger: fillet mignon medium rare stuffed with a combination of smoked oysters, cheddar cheese and topped with a brandy and wholegrain mustard which was DELICIOUS! Actually, a meal that I would return for again and again. 
My dessert selection was creme brûlée. The caramelised topping was just too thick for me to break through it and took some effort and fighting with the dish, so if they could get that right the rest (the custard) of it was delicious.  

*Recommendation: The main dish and service received by Graham's team was enough to get them a four out of five. However, the biltong starter and creme brûlée let the side down. Still, a great evening and I would return!

I absolutely loved The Hussar Grill, we had the fillet on the bone which was absolutely flavorful and delicious -- succulent and juicy. Rupert and Rothschild Wine, calamari was wonderful! The chili has quite a zing -- not for the faint hearted. And the chocolate vodka was so smooth and a perfect end for our meal. Graham the owner came over to make sure everything was perfect and the staff was excellent. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the price was very reasonable for the excellent quality of food. Definitely highly recommend and I hope to visit again before I return overseas.

I had made a booking but it looked like they couldn't find it. Anyway, they weren't busy when we arrived and we were seated relatively quickly. Service was good. We received complimentary vegetable chips and olives. They didn't have two of the Reds we wanted, but no biggie, option three was available. Our server promptly removed a dirty wine glass when pointed out to her. We skipped starters, and ordered the ribs and rump, each with baby potatoes, and a mushroom sauce for my steak. The ribs were delicious, I'm told but my steak was mediocre - a bit grainy, no discernible flavour and on the cusp of being well done (I ordered it medium). The mushroom sauce was tasty though. The highlight of the meal was the chocolate vodka martini - not too rich but definitely a decadent end to the meal. When we left, the place was packed.

Having always heard good things the Girlfriend and I decided to give the Morningside Grillhouse a go. Traditional steak houses have always felt a little formal to me. Places where collared shirts and sports jackets are the standard and you really need to be able to separate your pinotage from your Pinot noirs lest you be ostracized by the staff and pelted with potatoes.

The Hussar retains the leather and wood feel of an upmarket eatery but is pleasantly relaxed , sharing the terrace of Morningside shopping center with a number of other great restaurants. You can alternatively be seated inside for a more intimate meal.

Seating is comfortable and elegant, the service, friendly and attentive. A pluses on both accounts.

I really wish I could tell you about how amazing their steaks are as so many reviews on here have attested to, but alas my stomach wasn't playing cricket. Feeling for a lighter meal I opted for the Chicken Parmesan. Pan-fried chicken clothed in a Parmesan crust and served on mash with a mustard sauce. A plus plus. The girlfriend had the grilled kingklip and a CSI team wouldn't have been able to recover the remnants of her fish once she was done with that plate. Some praise need not be expressed with wasteful words.

I like the Hussar Grill. I like that it's the perfect choice for a sophisticated wine and dine, but works just as well and is just as welcoming to patrons in hoodies and tatty Puma sneakers. I fully intend to correct my poultry blasphemy by sacrificing a cow (500g sirloin, medium to well, Béarnaise on top) to the Gods of the grill on my next pilgrimage.

Probably the best fillet steak I've ever eaten! The meat was grilled medium to rare which in my opinion is perfection. The steak itself was tender and very lean which packed plenty of flavour. It is somewhat an upmarket restaurant so do expect to pay more than usual but it's totally worth it for the quality of the food. The fillet steak goes best with a warm creamy mushroom sauce and a side bowl of mashed potatoes.

This is a truly phenomenal steak restaurant - comparing it to Turn & Tender this wins in terms of ambiance and variety of steak options.

It was a Saturday evening and the search for a dessert bar/restaurant was on. To our disappointment, most places were closed. After much searching on Zomato, my sister came across the dessert menu of The Hussar Grill and it looked amazing.

When we arrived at the restaurant, there weren't any tables available as it was in the middle of the Saturday dinner rush. The friendly hostess at the front assured us that a table would become available in the next 15 minutes so we decided to take a walk around the mall and come back.

Upon returning to the restaurant, we were immediately seated and served. We ordered three desserts - chocolate ganache pie, Hussar Grill ice cream cake and malva pudding. All three desserts were incredibly delicious as were the cappuccinos we also ordered.

Even though I've only had dessert and coffee at this restaurant, The Hussar Grill is worthy of a 4 rating just for it's impressive dessert menu, great service and lovely ambience.

We had a late lunch on Saturday so we were not very hungry in the evening but I was craving dessert. The desserts section on Zomato was quite limited so I decided to look at other restaurants. I had previously seen friends pics of desserts at The Hussar Grill so I suggested to my husband that we go there. They were fully booked but the friendly lady offered us a place at the bar to wait at. We told her we would walk around the mall. When we came back she had a table waiting for us. The ambiance and decor was stunning and posh. I ordered the malva pudding, my husband has The Hussar Grill icre-cream cake and my sister had the chocolate ganache pie. We were not disappointed with any of the desserts, they were spectacular.  Our waiter was attentive and service was excellent. I cannot wait to go try out the main course when I go back.

Any situation where you're munching on a steak while the Beatles play in the background is alright by me. Bonus points to The Hussar Grill because the steak was delicious. The only wine by the glass on offer is Nederberg, sadly, but it serves me right for not committing to an entire bottle. And if I'm being picky, the camembert starter was a tad lacking in flavor. It needed more salt in the breading and much more cranberry sauce. The boyfriend had ribs - he said they were prepared more like pork belly than a traditional rack of ribs, which was disappointing. Regrettably, I had to pass on their inviting dessert menu. Next time. I'd say the steaks at the Grillhouse are marginally better, but if the Hussar Grill dessert menu lives up to expectations, overall, they're the better choice.

It’s not very easy to find a place that does desserts, pastries and coffees only. It’s exceptionally hard to find one late on a Saturday afternoon. After much browsing on Zomato and with not much success we came across the dessert menu of The Hussar Grill. The restaurant was fully booked when we arrived, but the hostess told us if we are willing to wait 15 minutes they should have a table available for us. The restaurant décor looks like a cross between a pub and a normal restaurant. The hostess and management are extremely friendly and helpful and the staff are fantastic.

We were just there for dessert, and will definitely be returning to try the starters and mains. For dessert we had the Chocolate Ganache Pie, which is a delicious dark chocolate ganache in a biscuit crust served with a chocolate sauce and ice cream; we also had the Malva puuding, which was my favourite, it was drenched in the sticky sauce and served with a dollop of vanilla ice cream; and finally the Hussar Grill Ice Cream Cake, which is the vanilla ice cream with peanut brittle, honey comb, and nuts, and is absolutely delicious

A good steak house, after successful outlets in Cape Town they are trying their hand in Gauteng. The decor is good old fashioned steak house. I guess if you are in the area it is convenient. The service is good. I could not complain about the menu or food served but there is a lot of competition around for this type food

Hussar Grill offers everything you would want from a steak restaurant and then some! Traditional yet unique dishes and they get the fundamentals right - ie: a delicious steak!! Gorgeous setting and atmosphere so definitely get that bottle of red wine! We had the Fillet Moustarde and the Blue Cheese Sirloin, both perfectly cooked and great flavours👌 Creme Brûlée was good and the Choc Ganache was decadent and rich! Will definitely be back!

We had a good dinner here with a very friendly waiter. The food is a bit expensive but you'd expect it due to the location. I have been to better grill houses, but this was decent. The baked cheese cake here was to die for!

Really enjoyed how the place looks - slightly rustic, as a steakhouse should.
I had the cranberry juice which they got right and their onion rings are glorious so order those on the side. Main dish was the blue cheese sirloin which tasted satisfactory and was well cooked (as were the veggies on the side)
So all in all the meal was good - and everyone else at the table seemed satisfied.

The service was pretty sub-standard though.
The only reason we didn't have dessert is that she didn't offer - or ask if anyone if they wanted drinks - or come back to clear the table.

The service was a bit slow. The tablet based order capturing seems to be a bit inefficient. The food was amazing though. I had a Châteaubriand which was beautifully presented and cooked and had a taste of the wild hog ribs which are a definite must. The service could use a little work but overall it was a great dining experience.

We met friends at Hussar Grill for a Friday evening dinner last week... very friendly service, but it was felt by some to be a bit lacking.  Definitely a meat restaurant, not much else on offer...  My steak and peppercorn sauce was really delicious.. the ribs were reported to be super delicious.
An enjoyable evening was had by all, and I would happily return..

I have been waiting for a few years for Hussar Grill to come to JHB now! Was so excited to try it out last night. I had the fillet bearnaise and it was as good as I remembered it from their Rondebosch restaurant! Forgot to take a photo because I was so hungry, the food did take long to come through. Dessert was the chocolate fondant. Yuuuum :)

My girlfriend and I read the reviews but were not put off by the negative comments about the poor service. I can happily report that not only was the food INCREDIBLE, the service was also FANTASTIC! From the moment we walked in till the time we left, never once did we feel that we were neglected. We were checked in on frequently without it being annoying.
Then the food....both our meals were excellently prepared, delicious and delivered quickly. The vibe and decor is also great, its simply an awesome restaurant!
I can honestly say that our expectations were exceeded and would recommend this restaurant to anyone! We will return!

Having much excitement to try out this little spot we were let down by our expectations. From the outset food was GREAT (a little cold but good). Service on the other hand, was a real let down! We waited 1hour 15 for our food to arrive with absolutely no care from management that it took so long. Management have a displeasing arrogance that will keep me sticking to other, and far better, steakhouses who value their customers.

The Hussar Grill opened recently at the en vogue Morningside Shopping centre, around and the corner from us so we were obviously looking for fresh dining options.

The restaurant is already popular as most tables were already taken up in the prime dinner seating. Staff are attentive and helpful. The menu is reasonably extensive supported by a comprehensive wine list (not badly priced at all).

We had skipped starters and went straight for mains. The three pax including myself ordered the spare ribs, the sirloin on the bone and the Chateaubriand. I had elected the ribs which I would suggest one stay away from in future. They were Luke warn and dry. Given that the "grill house" look and feel I suggest they contemplate more exotic options on ribs, like American smoked or slow roasted.

The fillet on the bone was perfectly grilled to order, clearly using the perfect cut of meat. The Chateaubriand, according to our guest, was right up there standards wise.

Some lessons as it is a new restaurant:

- the waiter hadn't been trained to clear the fourth setting as there were only three pax
- manager had checked the table and didn't correct
- clearing empty glasses timeously and offering fresh drinks

That being said he was very helpful and friendly, we assumed that the lack of adequate training is the problem.

Overall conclusion is that the Hussar Grill is a great option and their pricing relative to similar establishments makes it a winner if they can be consistent with service and food.

This is by far one of the best steak restaurants I have been to. The food is amazing. The ambiance is superb and the service is excellent. 

On the three occasions I have visited I have tried the scrumptious Mussel pot and the chicken livers for starters. The livers were creamy and just a bit pink (perfectly cooked) and the mussel pot was fresh and tasted like the sea, with a hint of garlic and parsley.

I've had the "CarpetBagger" on two occasions and both were excellent. It is a Sirloin stuffed with cheddar cheese and oysters. It is amazing. The steaks were perfectly cooked and the cheese in the center wonderfully melted. 

I've also had the Sirloin on the bone and this was most delicious. A heavenly smoky flavour coupled with the natural flavour of the meat sent my taste buds into overdrive. 
I had the mash potato as an accompaniment and this was good too - just the right amount of salt and garlic and of course, no lumps!

Dessert - They have a very good selection of hot and cold deserts. I had the Creme Brulee - which was a bit disappointing - I have had better ones, but none the less it was creamy and well cooked. What it lacked in flavour, was made up for in texture.

The wine selection is extensive and well thought through 

Overall a place I would visit again and again. Well worth the visit.

Very nice quality for value for lunch menu. You get a starter or dessert + main at a competitive price. After ordering your food, you get an apperitive until food arrives, which is something you usually do not get for lunch menu. Personnel charming and effective.

Great and fast service without feeling rushed. Tuesday date night special is the best value for money. I had the steak, which was perfectly cooked and delicious! 100% recommended!

The only place that’ll make you say “Huzza” after eating their food! Their date night special is going to give you bang for your buck. You get to choose two of the three options between starters, mains and dessert. Their portions are generous and if you want to make it a little extra romantic I recommend sharing starters and dessert between the two of you. Their portions are generous and they’ll still bring you olives and chips (worth a visit all on their own). Service is phenomenal and the food matches. Highly recommended. I suggest booking in advance.

If you enjoy a good steak, excellent service this is the place. Extensive selection of good red and white wines Conveniently located near a number of boutique hotels , guest houses and B&B in the area. Never disappoints. Prices have increased in the last 6 weeks, bit do offer some great specials for a couples dinner during the week which is excellent value.

Lovely place for a date night or a business dinner or lunch. Service was good with top quality food. Prices are a bit on the high side but I suppose you get what you pay for.

They had a very affordable lunch special which got us through the doors. 130rand for appetizer and main. They were also very kind. The peppercorn sauce didn’t taste good and they took it off the bill and gave us dessert to make up for it. They went above and beyond to take care of us and we really appreciated the customer service. Thank you guys! The ambiance is also very nice.

The meat was really tasty and also the potatoes. The waitress was really helpful when asking about how meals are prepared and if they had flour or not. The only cons is that was too dark to see the food.

The Hussar Grill really delivers top quality steak, and if you enjoy extra strong flavours, the blue cheese sauce is deliciously potent. There are plenty of other enticing options, and a great ambience. I will always have good memories of this spot!!

We visited the Hussers Grill in Morningside and was not disappointed. The service was excellent and my pepper fillet was very soft and tasty. The cappacino was good and the free chocolate liqueur was to die for. The only reason I gave Hussars four stars, was that the special - the Brazilian steak-was a bit tough.

I had the T-bone, it wasn't the best steak I've had, certainly not their best. I would give an overall average rating for the food. The service was great and the wine selection is good.
