Gold Restaurant

An exceptional experience. From the drum show, to the food, the different presentations and arts display, everything here is a rich display of the diverse African culture and it’s a perfect experience not just for tourists but for locals who want to experience arts & dining all at the same time. They have a full house but somehow they still try to cater for everyone with a good service. Awesome experience! Will definitely be back.

A very crazy and fun experience in which you delve deep into African culture.. The atmosphere is loud, wonderful, and full of life, and you will have the opportunity to participate in beating the drums and tasting foods from African cuisine. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is great An experience I highly recommend.👍🏻

Gold is a must-visit for every foreign tourist in South Africa, offering a delectable feast of 12 authentic African dishes. The beauty lies in the fact that you don't have to choose; everything is brought to your table. Drawing from my hotel industry experience, the service surpassed expectations—treating us like royalty with impeccable attention. Despite the spice level (it wasn’t really hot at all), they took care to cater to my wife's non-spicy preferences. Although we missed the early drumming, it's highly recommended for a fun experience. African entertainment throughout the meal ensures memorable moments—don't forget your camera. Opt for face painting if you want to leave looking African! Exceptional value is evident, attracting both locals and celebratory gatherings. The perfectly portioned food allows for reorders; we noticed a neighboring table returning to the starters, featuring delicious snoek pate, roosterkoek (roasted bread), and a delicate seared ostrich salad. While we left early, there might even be dancing towards the evening's end. Remarkably, they generously share recipes online. A night at Gold is truly unforgettable

Yes, it is touristy, but there are good and bad kinds of touristy. This is a good one. I had low expectations for food, but all the food was actually quite good and quality. It is food from all of Africa and it's unlimited (you can ask for more of anything). They didn't give me the food menu but I had steak salad, bread and minced chicken dip, chicken wings, Antelope curry, hake and shrimp curry, couscous, another salad, ice cream. The menu constantly changes. Wine list was quite extensive. Small groups of performers come by throughout your meal. Servers were kind. They even had us join them on stage for a bit of dancing which was fun. For 455R, I think it's very reasonable. It's free to reserve online and it may be a good idea, but I did see walk ins as well. Overall, great experience and I recommend it

Overall, it was a decent experience for me, but not something I'd repeat. Excellent service with kindness from the waitresses. Half of the food was good, the other half was alright. It's a lot of food as you can imagine from the # of courses being served. The whole decor, wardrobe, performance, and entertainment engaging the audience are quite interesting. However, it feels more theatric than authentic. If you are someone who's a traveler not a tourist who's actually keen on local cultures and history, you'll feel that this place is meant for tourists. If I may say, my experience at Waterfront was a lot of authentic, where I interacted with the Indigenous performers and donated money directly. Mojo is also a place to be when you are looking for something more contemporary.

Incredible experience, the food was amazing and the people were so full of joy. Loved getting to experience the African table Safari! I went solo and had so many of the staff welcome me & talk to me. Truly a unique experience, don’t leave Cape Town without it! (They also made it gluten and dairy free for me)

We went for a corporate dinner and had a very nice experience. We start with drinks and a drumming session. Followed by a set menu with items from around Africa. Each item is cooked to perfection and has a Vegan alternative for the meat/seafood based ones. They serve small portions and if you like a certain item can ask for more. Overall atmosphere is excellent.

Wow. This night was unforgetabel. Even tho it was very touristy it 100% felt so local. We loved the food and the service. Got to try so many diverse dishes which was incredible. Loved the music and how the guests where involved with the drums. The atmosphere got very special at the end while everyone was dancing and singing together on stage. Highly recommended.
