Biesmiellah Restaurant

Biesmiellah in BoKaap is worth visiting as it lies in a cultural centre of Cape Town. You have to explore a bit to find it, but if you’re looking for traditional food at a good price, they may have hit the correct formula. The place is pretty big inside and arranged mainly for group seating and, one must admit, a bit on the sterile side. The food is good, traditional Cape Malay and served in generous portions. Service was a bit on the anonymous side, but it was pretty late already when we visited, so perhaps the end of a long and tiring shift. The bathrooms were neat and clean and easily available.

Great hidden gem! Amazing food and flavours. Ive already recommend to locals and will be returning myself. Authentic cape Malay flavours amd dishes. Staff could be more knowledgeable of the menu.

first place I tried in my first trip in cape town and last place I'll go in ever go back to,, the coloured till lady is not friendly, being tired is an excuse, she wasn't friendly ordered a steak gatsby but their gatsby wasn't good, it was dry and not inviting. marshmallow sponge sweet was good, if you people are tired and don't want employment close down the shop and stay at home. whats the point of having a food store that's not inviting, and terrible customer service. if i wanted to be served food by a angry person with attitude i could've stayed home and starved myself!!! definitely not tourist friendly and I wouldn't recommend!!

Meh, not exactly blown away with this joint: the Bobotie and Bredie were unexpectedly sweet and the daltjie(vada) was bit dry. Everything we ordered was bland

Authentic Cape-Malay cuisine, very friendly and helpful staff. No frills decor, it more about people and community, so don’t come too late!

Incredibly flavorful cape malay restaurant, I really enjoyed their Tomato Bredie which was so deliciously spiced and sweet with chunks of lamb that fell off the bone. The waitor and owner were both so kind and helpful. The views of table mountain were plentiful! Great neighborhood spot!

Can’t rate this place high enough! The auntie was so lovely and the food was amazing (make sure to get the chai and the mutton curry with roti). It’s very much a local place, no frills at all, but that’s how you know it’s all about the food. I went twice and would go a third time!

Biesmiellah is a wonderful restaurant with the best Malay food I have tasted. The kids enjoyed the meals and we had a wonderful view of table mountain from our table. The owner "uncle Abdullah" personally came out and welcomed us and it felt great being in famous Bo-Kaap with it's colourful houses and rich history 🙌🥰
