The Happy Uncles

Happy Uncles offers an exciting dining experience that is unique to other concepts. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted with creativity, showcasing a variety of intriguing flavors. While I had high expectations beforehand, and probably would not go again, taste is subjective, making it a must-try for everyone to discover their own favorites.

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.

10/10 everything, never had such an experience before, food was amazing with very unique flavors, service is top-notch and they take time to explain the dishes properly, highly recommend doing the 9-course.

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.

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

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.

Dining here is nothing short of extraordinary — a rare gem in the world of fine dining. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was refined yet welcoming, with every detail carefully curated to create an unforgettable experience. Service was exceptional — attentive, graceful, and deeply knowledgeable. Each course was a masterpiece: beautifully presented, bursting with sophisticated flavors, and crafted from the finest ingredients. The fact that it’s also halal makes the experience even more special, ensuring excellence without compromise. This is more than just a meal — it’s a rare dining experience that lingers in memory long after the last bite. A must-visit for anyone who values true culinary artistry.
