Wow! Stumbled across this place as we were trying to find somewhere to eat on a Saturday night without having made a booking, they accommodated us and quickly found us a table, I had never eaten South African food before the waitress was very helpful and went through the most popular dishes I went for a Chicken kebab ( I can’t remember it’s South African name!) and it was amazing! The food arrived quickly and was very good value for money, well done would definitely go back.

Really enjoyed coming to Chakalaka for lunch. It wasn't very busy on a Friday so managed to get a table for 2 very easily. We ordered the biltong mac & cheese, jaffle, lamb bunny chow and chicken sosatie, all of which were absolutely delicious! I have no idea if it's authentic and I didn't know what to expect but the food was great and I would definitely come back to try other things on the menu.Our server was also friendly and very helpful when we had questions about the menu, and the restaurant are good with allergies as my friend had a seafood and nut allergy, but they don't include nuts in their dishes and I don't think there's any seafood dishes either.

We had the “monkey gland” flavoured wings for a starter, consisted of 4 wings which cost £6, I don’t think this was worth £6 honestly. They were nice, 2.5 stars out of 5 but nothing spectacular. They’re literally bbq wings & they could’ve been called exactly that instead of monkey gland flavoured wings lolI had the Lamb curry for £13 + £2 extra for the lamb, it came with yellow rice that had raisins. The lamb, even though it’s literally sitting in a sauce, was so dry… but the meat was soft. The rice was undercooked and lacked flavour in all honesty. (we got this taken off the bill completely)The kebab (pork and lamb) was def nice, I think the hot sauce was unnecessary though as the meat was flavoursome.The service was slow, there was three separate tables that we arrived before, and they received their food before we did so we def had to wait quite abit. The drinks came quickly, which was good. The server with the curly hair was nice and attentive, he (-the bar man ofc) made my cocktail abit more sweeter when requested so I do appreciate that.We got the curry taken off the hill, I didn’t realise it was 50% off so when my friend had complained about my mushy rice, we were told she’d comp by 50%… but it was alreasy 50% off the entire menu, so my friend complained about that, so our bill went from £37 to £29.50Wouldn’t come back again, also wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend

I loved the pap & worse (bangers & mash")I wish the tomato chutney that came with it was chilli. I ordered a side of fresh chillies & got mild jalapeño. Service was fantastic! All the staff was wonderful."

The two of us rocked up here early Saturday and it was heaving, we made a booking for the next available slot (an hour later) so definitely worth booking ahead. After reading various other comments previously we both went for the Sosatie (kebabs) I had chicken and my fella had meat, out of the two the meat was nicer. The chicken was drowned in what they call ‘monkey gland sauce’ too overpowering. The fries were nice but so heavily covered in piri piri seasoning I could feel my body withering under the onslaught of salt. We ordered 2 Staropramen also which were dark in colour and tasted weird, the house lager was much better, and the Shiraz (£20) was lovely. The staff are fab and the atmosphere is vibrant and warm and is what would probably make me return tbh
