At the end of the meal the owner and operator, Nomonde Siyaka, gave a fascinating talk about the history of the place. It was originally a very small house in whch her family lived in extremely crowded conditions.
The food was excellent - it is rated #1 in Cape Town on TripAdvisor - clearly for both the food and the experience.
There were marimba players in the front of the restaurant entertaining us and at the end they were quite loud and everyone joined in dancing.
