Carnivore Restaurant

This restaurant offers an experience - that of eating many of the game animals in South Africa - carved from swords at your table. Grilled over an open fire, the various meats we tried presented us with a taste sensation. The soup we started with was so delicious I finished two bowls (my grandson didn't like his). Most of the meat was done perfectly except for one - the kudu was dry. Such a shame since this is one of the best game meats in South Africa. However, the crocodile was perfectly done - just cooked but not overdone. That takes skill. Overall, we enjoyed the experience.

What a wonderful experience! If you’re a meat lover and keen on trying something new, going here will definitely be worth it. Unlike most buffets, here you get to enjoy the luxury of the food being brought to you. Definitely had a great time trying out giraffe and zebra 😂.

Food: the selection of meat varies daily but I was told that generic meat like beef and pork are available everyday. You can see the available meet in the board The food was good but some of the meat were overcooked. It was buffet styled but will be served at the table. Service: the place was not full when we went there but the staff took a while to locate our table, otherwise everything was good. Atmosphere: not bad but can be noisy depends where you sit

One of the best restaurants to feed your meat craving, especially if you want to explore different meat from the traditional ones. Best one in my opinion was the warthog and surprisingly the crocodile... Something I never thought I'd say. The atmosphere is amazing and the service is just as great, definitely worth putting on your list of places to explore in Gauteng.

The gardens outside create a charming atmosphere. There is ample parking but be warned, it gets rather busy so you may struggle to find a spot to park your car. Onto the food. We were served a starter of pumpkin soup which was very good, followed by a variety of meat including chicken, crocodile, springbok, pork, beef and blesbok. Limited salads were also available at each table. Unfortunately the pork was underdone while the springbok was tough and overcooked. The puddings were underwhelming- cheesecake portion is about the size of three match boxes. The malva pudding is dry and not as sweet as it should be. The non alcoholic drinks were good and they have a limited variety of cocktails on offer as well as most regular sodas. Toilets - I understand that we went during the lunch hour rush but it was apparent that the toilets were not being cleaned regularly. Each of the cubicles in the mens loos were filthy.

An amazing experience that is difficult to replicate anywhere else. For the price, you receive a large amount of unique meat and starters. Definitely a must if you love meat.

Share disappointment. Went for dinner yesterday. Must mention 18:15 arrival and a Monday. So was near empty. The dismissive behaviour of staff was extreme. So no lack of staff. Just ignored. Besides taken to a table and then offered some cocktail upsale . I said no thanks I would prefer some wine . Waited for someone to take my drink order . 10 minutes later someone decided to actually deal with. That was to be my experience throughout the night . Ignored, dismissed and completely a lack of any service and even the so called rotation of meats, seemed to ignored me. After 20 min finally got my drink a bottle of wine . I had asked for some ice / ice bucket with . Ignored, had to ask 2 x and on last time had to find a staff member. The starter ( soup)while nice ( only 1 of 2 ) was near cold . The following after ... ribs , chicken skewers and pork sausages. Were so over cooked they were practically inedible. The chicken skewer and no lie was like rubber and one could of used as a squash ball or bouncy ball. The meatballs were somewhat ok but undercooked. ( i cant comment on pap and sauce as I did not want ) The eland and rice curry was inedible, rice had been left out so was hard . ( dry ) . The ribs , sausage were cold and well over cooked . The samoosa the 1st one was OK but on next serving clearly had been left under a heat lamp or warming draw . Soggy luke warm and chewy. The lazy Suzanne was somewhat impressed, but on closer inspection was not. Very little sauce. The salads bland and besides the sweetcorn and pineapple salad, were a disappointment . What made it worse was that I spent most of my meal chasing flys off.. Seriously you have a major fly issue . I will and agree and as per news there is a issue. BUT. There were no visible controls for . A electric uv light box or citronella candles. I repeatedly asked for a candle and told you have . Took 30 min for. The main course ( the highlight? ) Besides repeatedly being ignored and at times 15 minutes between and having to ask for . Was utterly unacceptable. Well overcooked, to the point of leather. Besides the 1st offer of impala, which was quite nice. The rest was inedible..yes I could not eat . My plate became and had no space on ( full ), due to the meat being inedible. I had to ask for a new plate. Not once throughout the night was my wine topped up or asked . Only once did my waiter come pass and asked if was OK. Pudding..mmm had to wait 20 min after Finnished main for service to even ask for . Was edable. ( cheese cake ) Not fresh or not stored correctly... base was sopping wet. Too thin. Served in a square, so stand to be corrected...made in a bamarie , cut into squares and stored in a fridge for days. Very very disappointing. I would have given a 1 star as belive that was it. But as I was eating alone , maybe the experience might have been tolerable if had company.. so given a 2 star. I would like to mention, I live in the estate behind/ next to (avianto) . Have been and enjoyed your gin bar , a number of times . This carnivore restaurant was , a huge disappointment and sorry to say would never go / recommend . I actually would would tell people not to . Last ...I will if can figure out , will attach my bill , proving my attence and as a guinuine patron and not a fake review
