Lovely place, lots of promise. Photos on website promised fantastic creative food and for the price we also expected it. Although the quality of the food was good, it was very ordinary, I cook better at home during the week. The steak tasted great but it was just a smallish slab of meat on a plate (with a few boiled potatoes) Nothing special about it at all, same for all other courses. Real disappointment so totally not worth the price.

My recent dining experience at Blanko was nothing short of a culinary delight. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was captivated by its modern and vibrant ambiance, which set the stage for an unforgettable evening.

Super great food and great selection of wines. In addition, the great service from the friendly staff is also always welcomed.

The atmosphere at Blanko is also worth mentioning. The stylish decor and chic surroundings create an inviting space that is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a romantic dinner for two or a celebratory gathering with friends.

Overall, my experience at Blanko was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of delicious food, impeccable service, and stylish ambiance make it a must-visit destination for anyone looking to indulge in a memorable dining experience.

I had lunch at this establishment yesterday I had oysters for starters and I was flabbergasted by the mignonette sauce they served me, it literally had two tiny pieces of shallots!! I was looking forward to having a lovely lunch before my flight to Johannesburg and to say I was disappointed would be a total understatement.

I ate here on New Year's Eve with family. It's a really nice and chill vibe. The DJ did her thing, and I danced all night. The food was ok, not great. The drinks were weak. I'm from the States, and I could easily see this same spot in Atlanta, Houston, and DC.

Another establishment that needs a 6 star function! Lloyd. Our waiter. What an absolute legend. Every person in this establishment is excellent and looks fit for a runway.

All the flattery aside. The chef is a show stopper himself. Food is well presented, proper portions and incredibly tasty. It’s not cheap but it’s great value for money all things considered. The surrounding area is nice for a meander too. Exquisite venue and surrounds. Must book. Will be back.

Excellent fine dining experience in a nice country-Style house restaurant. Great selection of regional wines, excellent food and attentive service.

Would certainly recommend this place

They serve amazing barbecue wings. They have late night specials on certain foods.

We had a great birthday dinner celebration. It had all the potential to deliver the best ever. I think certain dishes are to die for (must try steak Florentine) but unfortunately the winter set menu that I tried wasn’t so great. Example, it’s beautiful artichoke season and it’s a shame that they used tinned artichoke as a starter dish. Their carpaccio is cured ham or similar. To be fair I think it’s tough to run a profitable restaurant at the moment and their service was impeccable. I just wish their menu isn’t a hit and miss.

Celebrated an anniversary with a dinner here recently and was left feeling very pleased with our experience. The staff were welcoming and friendly throughout the evening and the slow evening meant we had no noise in the library area where we were seated.

The food is well priced and is made fresh. We ordered the calamari starter and the carbonara + lasagne for mains. All the food was amazing but we felt the carbonara could’ve been a little bit tastier.

We were treated to a surprise cake for dessert!

Overall we had a great time and would recommended this place to anyone else looking for an upmarket yet affordable meal out!

It's an okay place. Not as glamorous as it possibly used to be. Expensive drinks, great music in an intimate spot

Waiters is okay music is great but i have an issue with Djs they constantly changed music often like cutting off and it’s so boring to be honest
I prefer Don family than other Djs they need to up their game

Play it and its so boring
Please please we love and support you give is good music too
Looks good on the outside, the staff are helpful. Did not like the bathrooms. The food is nice.

Used to like the place it was great until recently the beer prices are too much you have to continously ask for your change from the waiters /barman and they now include many charges which is daylight robberry service fee,tip i didnt know that someone was forced to pay those until recently but i still like the vibe tho

Nice music and good prices for the shots and shisha
Small intimate plac to be. Loved the food was awesome
Great vibe and great music. Downsides is there is no sufficient ventilation. Couldn't stay long as the place was boiling hot. Please do something about the ventilation. One of the bouncers at the was very rude for no reason. Please hire bouncers with customer care. He was harassing even women who just wanted some air outside as the place was boiling hot and wouldn't let them back in without a fight or argument.
Best service, great vibe and always have fun there.good prices on food and beverages

If you looking for a good vibe and Great African cuisine Uluju can offer that... I did enjoy my time here 👌🏾
The food was great as well as the waiter who served us. The only thing making them miss a star is the sound system. The music is too loud for people to hear each other.
I enjoy it there..... everytime I visit its just new experience
Great place to chill at during weekends. 🔥🥺🤞💯💃😌

Overall a very good experience, quick fast service, food was great, must say some of the best dumplings I had in a long time. #restuarantweekvibes. Menu didn't say that the main was spicy. That's only reason for 4 stars.

This new Asian restaurant in Cape Town is exactly what you’re looking for. The decor and ambiance is so unique. As soon as you walk in, you’re transported into a different world. The service and food is outstanding! The staff is friendly and attentive and I love their happy hour cocktail special. I’ll definitely be back 😊
It's classy, yet fun and vibrant. They have amazing food and drinks, and the service is one of the best.
