Bambanani Melville

It was cold outside but noisy inside so we went to a seat outside( love this gas heater and blankets). We ordered coffee but got hot chocolate. However, the waiter who served us was friendly so we didn't mind. The bathroom...well...looked nice from outside but was really messy inside. It smelled and there was no toilet paper. The caregivers were standing around with tired expressions. But the food was fresh, affordable priced and tasted good. The restaurant has strict rules so you don't have to worry about your child going outside.

My first time visiting the restaurant, the food was good and fresh. The children enjoyed it with so much to do for all age groups of children, excellent setup for the children, everything a child can dream of. Well done to the owner of the restaurant.

A wonderful hidden gem for parents to bring their kids. Kudo’s to the child minders, they were excellent!! Our waiter went missing half the time, and only became visible when it was time to pay. Luckily the manager made up for his shortcomings. The food was good. We had Pizza, ribs and burgers. But most importantly our kids did not want to leave. Thank you Bambanani 👏🏾

What an amazing place! Our one-year-old absolutely loved visiting and exploring all the different toys and activities. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

You have to love kids to come to this restaurant lol - I went on a Thursday midday lunch and the restaurant literally empty Sma peaceful but felt like a kids restaurant, this place was curated like a kids food and play safe place. So I can't imagine on a weekend with all parents and their kids there! So definitely highly recommended for parents and all round good food classics!

What an amazing experience! This family-friendly spot truly exceeded expectations. There’s something for every child — from a cozy reading corner to a fun sensory section and a spacious play area. The child minders were incredibly attentive and caring, which gave us peace of mind while we relaxed. The environment is clean, safe, and thoughtfully designed for both fun and learning. Perfect for a family outing — we’ll definitely be back!

We had a lovely dinner. Food was great. Staff are friendly and provide great service. From the security guard, waiters to the child minders. Nobuhle and Gladys were awesome. Gladys took great care of our son, we are very grateful. The kids play areas are also great. We will definitely be back!

We came through for their kid's programme now that my son is on holiday (toddler crafts) but it just didn't happen. This has happened before so maybe I should have known better. This time, I asked a few of the staff members about it (twice) but they said they needed to get instructions from the manager, and either they were unwilling to ask her or she wasn't up to doing it. If its advertised and patrons come through for it, it really should go ahead. Otherwise, my son had a good time, but we certainly won't come through for an advertised activity at Bambanani again.
