baobab cafe & grill

i’ve been here years ago, but this time it was amazing. awesome food (maluti chicken), awesome nighttime view out on the deck, friendly waiters, blanket (was very appreciated!), and overall a fantastic evening! well done guys 😄

nice establishment with good service and good food. i usually order the lamb curry with rice and am always happy. it’s quite tasty. opt for an outside table for late afternoon lunches if the weather permits.

this place is really nice! great ambiance, great atmosphere, friendly waiters. the menus has a variety of options to choose from. i had your seafood and it was nicely presented and very good!

i came here for sunday brunch with my family .

before even entering the place i really liked how secluded the restaurant is . the food court is always busy and because it’s the festive season it was way busier than usual . so the tranquility was much appreciated .

the outside area is gorgeous and has great lighting . so it made sense that it was full and we had to settle for an indoors table . the place overall is stunning . a lot of effort has clearly been put into creating the atmosphere . from the different types of walls ,ornaments on the sides,dimmed lights and decorated tables i could go on forever . the mini baobab chandeliers are a great link to the name of the restaurant.

the service was really exceptional. our waiter did not disappoint,constantly checking on us without hovering over us . the champagne we wanted wasn’t available and the manager came to help us choose a second option similar to the one we wanted .

i’m the most indecisive patron . i really wanted seafood but a good steak as well . i was really happy to see there were dishes that have a variety for the meat and seafood lovers as well . so i had the sirloin ,prawn and calamari dish . the food was okay but it wasn’t out of this world . my sirloin was pretty dry on the inside and didn’t taste as good as it looked . the presentation of the food was quite messy and not appealing .

i was thoroughly impressed with everything until i had to go to the bathroom . and wow what a disgusting mess . not clean at all ,the toilet seats weren’t stable. i did not expect that at all .

this place is really great in terms of atmosphere and decor . i can excuse the food because maybe other items on the menu are better . but the toilet situation for a such a high end establishment is a complete no .

it’s a great place overall but can improve on so much more .

visited this establishment again, and i'm glad to see the food is still great! the service is even better. i love how affordable it is, which makes it a very attractive option. it remains one of my favourite spots.

i've been to many restaurants and this one has been the worst with regards to the service. the waiters are rude and arrogant. we had to wait a whole hour for the food and the waiter didn't even come to check if we're fine. i never leave the restaurant without tipping but this one i did. i wouldn't go back although the food is nice and the ambience

decided to venture out of jhb today and found myself in menlyn. enjoyed a big, tasty meal at baobab cafe this afternoon. we ordered the sirloin & calamari with spinach and the hake and calamari with chips. restaurant was really bustling and vibey. oswell, our waiter gave us excellent service with a smile. food and drinks where on the ball. if i find myself in menlyn again, would be happy to return.

good food, service was not too bad. the ambience is amazing, it is such a tranquil more especially at night. i would definitely go again to try some of the interesting things they have on their menu.

this place will make you forget that you are still inside menlyn mall, been here about 3 times, and each time was amazing. the atmosphere is great, there is different types of seating to accommodate different groups' needs, from quite and intimate to chilled relaxed outdoors.  the food was great. if you  really love meat, this is  the place to go to. there is quite a wide variety of stuff to choose from. the service was also great, i see myself coming here over and over again for that maluti chicken.

definitely a place i will return to. upper deck great view of pta east. food also above average. initial service need some touch up but after waiter was announced quality of service increased drastically

the food was amazing, drinks were amazing. the service though was the opposite. we asked for a table in the smoking section where we waited almost 45 minutes for our drinks and to be seated at a proper table, eventually the manager made sure we got a table. when it was time to leave, our waiter demanded that we give him a larger tip on top of the generous 1 we had already given him.

lovely restaurant. it really feels organic with the interior design geared towards making you feel like you're eating at the tree top. food is affordable and amazing.

this a really big and busy restaurant. having said that they have really great service so you don’t feel like a number. we were a table of 13, we had fish, prawns, chicken, steak and oxtail dishes. every meal was perfect. cooked well tasted good and best of all, the meals came out together. the prawns were delicious as was the oxtail.

good service, i hope it’s this good during peak, excellent food and a great variety of food. i’m from east london but i’ll be coming back here tomorrow!!

really nice service. the food was delicious. the menu is homely and warm. i love love this place. the view is beautiful too. i definitely recommend 🌸
