Shebeen

Enjoyed the atmosphere, and South African music, they have some authentic, tasty, South African dishes but... they are a bit pricey. The other down side is they only open from 5pm to 10 pm on a Sunday and during the week. For those that don't know 'shebeen' is an unlicensed/illegal bar in the townships of South Africa.

Food was great here and told by my south african wife that authentic too staff were very friendly and the food is amazingly filling please try the bunny chow it's a curry inside a loaf wow that's all I cal say at that but wow. So if in edinburgh and want something different but safe this is the place to come and see and eat recommended

South African restaurant in the heart of Edinburgh, not many around in the UK so was delighted to stumble across this place having not tasted wors in some time, ordered the boerewors straight away and it was pleasantly received! Very quirky little place as well definitely had a little feel of SA going on the staff were great, fully accented and very polite! I witnessed other meals being brought out and the portions were generous to say the least. If you're a saffer its a familiar feel with all your favourites and of you're British go and get a taste of real African food. A totally unbiased 5 stars from me. Amazing, thank you, very lekker, and please come to Newcastle. 🇿🇦👍😁🐃🦏🦒🍖🍗🥩🌭🍻🍽️🇿🇦

I have one piece of advice if you intend to eat at Shebeen: don't eat a lot beforehand. Be ravenous when you get here. The food is so amazing that you will want to eat everything. The portion sizes may make this difficult, no matter how empty your stomach. The South African atmosphere and friendly staff are the "pepper on the steak" here. Always my top choice for a special meal.

A top notch steak restaurant that has a nice, laid back feel to it. The service was exquisite, and presided over by excellent waiting staff Never imagined I'd enjoy a sauce named 'Monkey Glands' but the waitress really sold it. The food, whilst pricey, comes in enormous proportions and is well worth it. I am usually not a fan of rump steak but the standard here was excellent, and only makes me want to try their rib eye and sirloin all the more.
