Delicious food, bad customer service - Edit
The food was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes were large. We ordered the kababs as a starter and the Carnivore and Platter Braai as the main courses. It was very affordable as well. I'm giving 3 stars due to the customer service!
Read moreThe waitress that we had was very unprofessional and made us feel very uncomfortable. I understand tipping culture varies from country to country and there are cultural differences, however things felt very sketch and uncomfortable - The waitress kept aggressively ushing us to give a cash tip instead of using our card, asked us to tip on Cashapp, to get cash at a nearby store or ATM (it was night time and dark outside), and even gave our money to another staff member who walked somewhere nearby and got cash when we asked her not to.
This was just my experience with this particular waitress on this particular day (in January 2025). The food was handsdown amazing though.

Amazing experience - Edit
Thanks to this place we were able to expenrience South African dishes in vegan. The meat looked and tasted sooo real, we had to make sure twice that this place was completely vegan. The benches weren’t really comfortable and I wouldn’t recommend the cookies but the meat dishes were amazing! 😊

Amazing fake meats - Edit
We had the ribs and hot drumsticks, both were really tasty. I think the ribs were the closest I've had to pork since being vegan. Look forward to going back!

Unexpected gem - Edit
Absolutely beautiful dinner, with carrot cake for dessert. We also grabbed some cookies to take away. Dragged my BF here and we were pleasantly impressed. Don't be fooled by the interior or the size of the restaurant, the food and staff were amazing.

Vegan gem - Edit
A visit here is a must of you're into vegan mock meat. Homemade meats that do not disappoint, even surprised my omnivore relative. Very filling food, so go here on an empty stomach if you're planning to eat a three course meal.

Excellent homemade vegan grill (braii) - Edit
This place makes it’s own vegan meats such as chopsticks, ribs and much more. It is very good and the owners are super friendly and vegan since 7 years! A place to be supported. The fries are delicious too. Will come back.

Delivers on premise - Edit
Enjoyed our meal but the menu was slightly one dimensional (but I suppose that’s the premise). Good portion sizes.

Delicious and filling - Edit
I had the prego roll, which was delicious, as were the home cooked chips and salad. Highly recommend if you are in Cape Town. They also provided samosas free of charge, which were very nice.

A must go! - Edit
Well there isn't much to add from previous reviews. Food was delicious, additional samosas were served and the staff was as friendly as on can be. Just bring a little time when going, as they were a little low on staff when I went.

Great Meat Alts - Edit
Tiny spot but big on flavor and portion sizes. Had an amazing conversation with the owner about how they started. Too full to have dessert, so we will try that next time. Had samosas, wings, burger and calamari.

Best Restaurant in Cape Town - Edit
What did I love best? Everything. Absolutely everything. I came here two weekends in a row with friends. We all had something different each time and everything was delicious. I actually can't say enough good things about this place. Please, please visit here if you're in Cape Town, vegan or not. You won't regret it.

Best vegan ‘meats’ in South Africa - Edit
I love the quality of the products - made mostly from mushroom & chickpea flour. Fantastic texture, incredibly flavoured - each product has their own flavour and taste.

Really good meat alternatives! - Edit
Went here for lunch and had the ribs with fries and salad. They do their own meat alternative from chickpeas and mushrooms, making it gluten free.
Read moreI also had vegan mayo with my fries. Everything was excellent and the owner was super friendly and had a chat with us.
Would recommend to anyone looking for a good "meaty" experience 🌱

Substantive and Tasty - Edit
Great food made with chickpeas and mushrooms. Firm consistency and very tasty. The owner was very kind and said they will be expanding to Johannesburg in the next couple of months. The food was not salty as a previous reviewer had said. Maybe they changed their recipe?

Tasty but very salty - Edit
Had the steak and the kebabs for dinner. The food was pretty good but salty. The texture of the fake meat was decent. They also comped us an order of samosas while we were waiting for our food. We had only been waiting for 5-10 minutes at that point, so it was a pleasant surprise. Fake meat is their thing and it’s all they have on the menu. If you’re not a fan then there’s nothing much here for you.

Great little restaurant - diamond in the rough - Edit
Romeo and Vera have their own butcher shop also and sell these products locally. The food was delicious and I went back 3 days the week I was in Cape Town. I tried the ‘steak’ burger, the drumsticks, the pizza and the chef’s ‘lamb’ specialty. They were all yummy and good portions. Presentation was nice tooThe staff was very friendly.

You NEED to eat here ! - Edit
Initially when we came we were a bit unsure what to expect. But we were absolutely amazed by the amazing food. What made it even better is that the vegan “meat” is HOMEMADE by the owners. They have a brand of vegan “meats” which they are selling. We had a wonderful conversation with one of the owners and he told us their story.

Pros: Amazing food , 100% Home made , Kind owners
