I bought a voucher on Hyperli and paid R380 for a three course meal at Karibu Restuarant in V and A Waterfront and what an experience. Absolutely loved it. You get to choose from a variety of starter, main and dessert and it is well worth the money. The ambiance in the restuarant is great. The restuarant is stylish upper class but still affordable for the average person who want to feel special. The food was perfect and so delicious. Portions are big and you would not walk out hungry. You can make reservations but they do take walk ins. Will definitely return Thank you so much for a memorable evening. Great waiter and excelent staff.

On my Birthday the 16th of August I randomly looked for a different restaurant to celebrate with friends. 6 of us done the 3 course menu and 3 people ordered normally. When ordering starters, a friend asked is the calamari fresh, to which the waiter said no its I&J frozen calamari, and it's average. It took a long time for him to come back to the table most of the time. When we asked about the mains he said the portions are very small for the ribs and venison, when the meals arrived we noticed that the ribs were actually a decent portion. When asking about the deserts we were told the ice cream is country fresh and we had to wait for someone to go and buy it. There were many complaints and we never enjoyed the experience especially the service, I was so embarrassed because the waiter almost didn't like the restaurant who didn't speak anything positive into the menu, and by me inviting everyone to this place I did not know where to hide myself. I'm not sure if it's just the set 3 course menu that is of that quality, but honestly the value and service really did not meet the price or location. The restaurant looks the part and was excited to visit until it unraveled. I visit restaurants very often and I assure you I'm not being over critical, if it were just me or 1 other person my review would have been a good one, but the fact that we all had a bad experience speaks volumes. Last night all those people were at Jake's tokai, and not 1 complaint, yes more expensive but the service and quality matched the price. After reviewing their Google page as above, they asked me to email and they would contact me, I have yet to hear from them despite a followup email, it's clear the response was to show they respond to reviews.

Excellent food and service. Grace our waitress/hostess for the evening was nothing but friendly and very professional. Enjoyed the meal and would recommend the Springbok shank - OMG my mouth watering just thinking of the flavour, compliments to the chef and team on preparing a lovely meal and once again Grace for welcoming us so warmly.

The past weekend I went to Karibu restaurant in Cape Town, to have dinner with my girlfriend. We wanted to try out some dishes that we had never tried before. We were served by Joshua Paulsen, who was very friendly, energetic and professional. He was of great help in recommending some of the best dishes on the menu to us, his recommendations were spot on! The three course meal was mouth-watering. We were particularly impressed by how passionate the young waiter was about his job. 100% satisfied with the service that we got from him. We left the restaurant in smiles and looking forward to coming back again. If you are planning on visiting Karibu Cape Town some day, please ask for Joshua. You will be blown away.
