Sakhumzi Restaurant

Finally made it!!! It's always been packed the times I have been to Vilakazi Street and I'd end up at another restaurant, but today I had the Sakhumzi experience. The food is delicious 😋, well prepared I honestly can't complain. The service is a bit slow though, could be due to the busyness of the restaurant. I'll definitely pop in again.

I guess it's the price of fame. It was packed, tables were put together and seating haphazard. service was slow cause the staff was rushed. We left after the table we were given felt like a back room in the kitchen.

Look no further for traditional food and local dishes; our wonderful guide took us there; you can't go wrong with a mix of tasty food and an all-you-can-eat buffet. The seating area outside is very nice and a remarkable place to enjoy a break during the hottest and humid hours of the noon at Soweto. Eventually, you'll get some artist performance the street across not associated with the restaurant but performing for the restaurant clients, your choice to tip or not I would make an effort to come back there if I ever come back to Joburg

Beautiful view and the place is a good establishment. The famous Vilakazi street. I did enjoy being in the area The thing waiter was good, just a bit slow, because we came in as a group, but it seemed like they were not expecting a group of people. Otherwise the food was great and the team enjoyed the food. The drinks are reasonable, and their food variety is great. The restroom needs to be at least more easily accessible from the outside. I guess it's a bit too inside if you need to go to the restroom. The vibe is great, great staff. Great service for eKasi establishment.

Great experience of local South African food. Great customer experience. Good prices and a good selection of protein dishes. I recommend this place.

My guests were not impressed with the cleanliness of the place. Especially after the waiter tried to clean the table using his bare hand and then realized that it was mission impossible. Only for him to go and get a wet cloth. THANKFULLY, the food made up for what lacks. Very delicious and amazing food offering (especially the platters)! 👌🏾 5 🌟 for the food, but not the place. Everything was super tasty except the chakalaka (it is tasteless and just hot). The meat is tender, well basted and well done. The chips are heavenly. They also have the best dumpling I have ever eaten in any restaurant! What I did not like was the non-smoking area being dark and closed up like a basement. We ended up sitting in a smoking area just for the vibe and Sakhumzi atmosphere.

🇿🇦 The steak is amazing! (Finished so fast I didn’t get to take a pic lol. The drinks were also very tasty. Its a vibe and a must when visiting Soweto. Lots of live street organic entertainment! I loved it cant wait to go back!

The waiters and staff were very warm, responsive and delivered service with smiles on their faces. The food and drinks were served hot and ice cold. The music was awesome with Amapiano playing and people enjoying their meals with smiles on their faces. I will definitely visit again!
