i have some great experiences and then some not so great experiences, but overall i always go back. the springbok carpaccio rolls are to die for and nobody makes honey mustard sauce like that!

always eat great food and we make a point to try new meals every time- which never disappoints! the service is great, always and we love the whole atmosphere of the restaurant! the pan fried fillet is definitely a must-try and their meals are its money's worth. will go again soon.

we chose boabab for a birthday celebration and had a table reserved for 17 people. the only drawback that i had with this is that there was only one waiter for the whole table which made it difficult for us and for the waiter.

other than that we had an amazing dinner and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. there is a wide variety of choices on the menu and everything looked delicious.

the tempura prawn starter was a winner!! definitely a recommendation for foodies..... maybe on the pricey side but the food is of a high quality and is more than worth it.

if you are in need of a view, good food and a spot to enjoy your sundowners, the baobab is a sure place to be. easily accessible from the n1 via atterbury road, and situated in the eastern wing of menlyn shopping mall. they are open from 10:00-ish until late and have an extensive menu. priced a bit to the higher end, you get lovely meals that are beautifully prepared. their cocktail range is enough to make anyone smile. take note that the smokingsection has the view, bit their non-smoking section offers inside seating in booths and elegantly set tables. this is a piece of contemporary africa mixed with western cuisine. love it. go! now!

still is one of my favourite go-to restaurants in pretoria. 
the plates are big & full of food. 
the atmosphere is great, especially out the back on the patio, overlooking the east of pretoria.

they have really good crumbed mushrooms.

they have a biltong steak on the menu, which is incredible & comes with a mushroom sauce. i always ask them to change it to a garlic sauce & add some avo on the side. it makes for a mighty meal. substitute your chips or veggies for a salad. 

it's a must try if you want value for your money.

first time review for baobab. this time around i only went for a quick cocktail and awesome sunset! service was up to scratch today...had some issues in the past, but more pros than cons.

dishes i will recommend : mussel pot (rich in flavour...if you like garlic 😀), fillet (med rare of course), oxtail potjie, bone marrow ribeye (finger licking good) and a few more.

go and try them out. good view and ambience!

went with friends for supper. first the hostess took us to a wrong table. had to get up 5 mins later to get moved to another table.
food was not as good as before (had a chicken, avo, pineapple salad - still searching for the avo).
won’t be going back soon...

i would by no means calls this place great, but in the same breath it also wasn't terrible. service needs serious attention. we experienced extremely long waiting periods for food and drink. the wrong steak was brought to my partner, it was also extremely over cooked. i had the prawn, haolumi and avo salad. for r110 i find it disgusting that you only get 3 small prawns- very stingy. additionally the prawns had not been properly deveined, which is gross considering that you are then eating their poop.

the food was good but the service was non-existent. the waiters were no where to be seen. the food and drinks took long to come. requests made days prior were not adhered to. unfriendly staff.

boabab is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in pretoria. the service is excellent, from reception to the waiter, and the food is always spot on.

on the chefs recommendation tonight i had the dry aged ribeye steak with a biltong and mushroom sauce, with creamy spinach on the side. easily the best meal i've had this year in any restaurant.

well done boabab, always a pleasure.
keep up the good work.

what is not to like about this restaurant. we dine here about twice a month and they never disappoint!!!
the staff is always friendly, helpful and will do pretty much everything to make sure their costumers are satisfied and well looked after.

i absolutely love ❤️ their chicken 🐥dishes (dikgogo), but everything on the menu is delicious (and very well portioned). the restuarant is a little bit more expensive than your average joe place but worth every cent.

a must try on the dessert menu is the creme brûlée!!!! they just know how!!! yummy 😋

lunch today was amazing!! served by sandra, she made us feel home and well looked after. we sat in the smoking upstairs, being non smokers we enjoyed the view. i had very nice burger and my girlfriend a stunning salad! i must say a go to place.... service can be scratched up a little faster, but the friendly waiters and atmosphere takes you to a chilled no worries zone!! very cool place and we will be back soon!!

i went to the wonderboom baobab a long time ago so i pretty excited to come here. i decided to order their oxtail with mash and pumpkin. the pumpkin and mash were just absolutely amazing, i couldn't get enough of them. the oxtail on the other hand was just okay. thr drink i ordered was a strawberry supernova and it was amazing and it was in such a large glass. i was totally pleased. after my meal i ordered malva pudding with custard and cream. the cream was a bit sour but our waitress was very helpfull and she quickly got us a new side of cream.

good view, small craft beer selection and smaller local beer selection. the mexican food requires much more work, the wraps have no substance and taste like a large fried salad in cardboard. the quesadillas are dry and require a butter coating. overall not a great experience, the service is a bit tired, but seem enthusiastic. ps. do not try the mixed berry and mint gin cocktail unless you really like bitter drinks.
