Yes, it is touristy and pricy, but worth the time and money! Before the trip ended I wanted to taste authentic food from Africa, because everyone from home asked, “What does the ‘African’ food taste like?” At the Africa Café you are served from a set menu, which is an African Feast and encouraged to eat as much as you want, meaning you can have as many seconds as you wish! You waitress is dressed in traditional Xhosa attire and leads you through a hand washing ceremony. Next you are brought dishes from 15 or so African countries, which your waitress will explain what they are and where they come from. Our food was very good, interesting and unlike anything we have ever ate before. The food ranged from Springbok Curry to Malawi Mbatata Cheese and Simm Simm Balls (sweet potatoes and cheese rolled in sesame seeds). Desert, coffee and tea is also served, which was divine. For desert we had some type of pineapple bite (if anyone knows what I am talking about, please email and tell me more about them…I want to find the recipe) which were so sweet! The restaurant has many rooms that all have a different theme from an African Country. We had dinner in the Egyptian room, which was fun, because that is my next desired country! Along with dinner, there is entertainment. Our favorite part of the evening is when the waitresses sang, danced and played the drums for us in our ‘eating room’. The music they made and the way they danced was beautiful. If nothing else, this made the entire evening worth whiled. The menu changes every three months or so and can be viewed on their website. A meal for one person was R150 or $25, not including drinks.
