The Happy Uncles

The Happy Uncles is an incredibly well-hidden gem in Salt River. The food was outstanding, both in flavour and presentation, with a clear attention to detail. The introductions to each course added a personal and thoughtful touch that made the whole experience feel special. We were there for a work function and everyone left impressed.

Perfectly delivered plates. Taste, presentation, textures. All with a Cape Malay twist. Very well done. Service was good and attentive. Waiters speak a little too soft, make too long presentation of dishes, and one has an accent sometime difficult to follow. Weird location (next to a container yard) that adds to the charm of the restaurant. Overall, very solid fine dining restaurant.

Fine dining, but in a relaxed setting. Opted for the 8 course menu which took 3 hours in total. We were left feeling very well fed. Each dish was delicious, the only downside was the rice served with the short rib (zaatar was too overpowering) and the sparkling grape juice is too sweet. Other than that, everything tasted amazing. Service was top notch. Would highly recommend.

My first time at The Happy uncles restaurant celebrating my partners birthday. The experience was top tier. Our waitress Emily was amazing, she was so on point with the knowledge of the meals and pairing of the teas. Her service was excellent. Over all the staff were great!! And Compliments to the chef

A marvellous dining experience. The waiters were a delight - sharing culinary tales. The food sublime with the most extraordinary flavours and textures. A feast for the eyes too.

Definitely an exciting fine dining experience. The way the Chef subtly adds the most unusual different flavours to complete each amazing dish. Each dish was served with a difrnt type of tea to compliment that meal. Each dish was served top of the Art and very tasty. Wishing this Chef and his team all the best inshAllah. May The business grow from strength to strength Ameen. The service was fantastic. From the warm welcome by Siraj and the very informative waiters explaining wht each dish entailed. What a mind blowing experience.

Truly a beautiful, ambient and romantic fine dining experience! The owner and staff were welcomly interactive and made my husband and I feel like the most important people there. The tea paired with each meal is a work of art and complements each dish. The dishes themselves feature Cape Malay inspired flavours. The Boeber ice cream was a delicious surprise! The Happy Uncles has a seasonal menu that is absolutely delightful, each course befitting of celebrations and romantic dining. I cannot wait to experience the next seasonal menu!! Truly a one-of-a-kind experience!

This establishment truly embodies the experience of fine dining along with a unique twist of South African heritage. I highly recommend the experience. I was extremely delighted especially enjoying the dessert based on Cape Malay palette. Boeber Ice cream is so delicious!!
