    Greeted by friendly and mindful staff when I arrived. Great customer service and experienced no delays. The steampunk/vintage decor also gives this lively and upbeat restaurant a unique feel to it. The food was tasty and the beverages even more so - highly recommend the cocktails and milkshakes!

    Whenever we go to this Tiger’s Milk, the service is excellent. Sundays are nice and quiet if you are looking to grab lunch without the crowds. They are not cheap but, the food never disappoints. Quite a few options for vegetarians too. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is their coffee. The flat white was equivalent to a VERY weak latte or a cup of warm milk - definitely not for coffee connoisseurs like my husband and I.

    Good vibe, suitable for lunch and dinner! Restaurant is clean and well maintained! You can see that the owner l/manager is present and invest. Service is above average. Parking is available and price more on the expensive side but you pay for what you get! Decor is modern and funky.

    Great music and atmosphere, so it's great to come and have drinks & catch ups with friends. However the food is nothing to rave about, it's nice but not amazing and small-ish portions, especially for the price you pay. The bartenders were also un-friendly and took their time pouring just a tequila shot & beer even though the place was really quiet. Drinks and food are really expensive, so wouldn't make a habit of coming here.

    Had awesome experience here. Went on a Monday night for Bingo night and Burger special. 2 burgers and sides for around R140 I believe (around that price). Great selwc6of sides and different Burgers. Also a wide variety of beers, craft beers, and great selection of beers on tap. The restaurant has a very cozy and social atmosphere with different seating options for every group. Burgers are delicious, well cooked, great meat and amazing chips it must be said. Overall an amazing spot for beers and burgers or even wildfire pizza. Would recommend Tigers milk above other similar restaurants any day.

    I had a Coma burger and chips. 300g of delicious meat patty, plus bacon and Emmenthal cheese. Gosh, it was perfect. Add to that, on-tap Tigers Milk Lite, and the world was starting to make sense. My wife had some chicken Mexican dish and said it was really good. Not too big, but enough to fill you. Happy wife, happy life. Waitress was great, and so was the manager, Charlie. We went during a quiet period but I can imagine the place pumping when it’s busy. I saw a massive pizza oven, wood fired - definitely want to go back to give that a whirl. We had an issue with some takeaway food, but the manager was super quick to make it right. Really decent and upstanding. I can recommend this spot.

    I was deeply dissatisfied on Sunday evening. We ordered poppers, pizza , livers and wings. The pizza and livers was tasty but the rest was quite a let down. Firstly to pay R90 for three poppers is in my experience expensive. The poppers are supposed to be crunchy & crispy not soggy like “vetkoek”. The lady who helped us instructed me that the poppers comes without any sauce after I already read the dirty menu which said it included a ranch dipping. We waited 50 minutes for the poppers. After our dissatisfaction they were sent back to the kitchen and was removed from our bill. The second round of the poppers was better but still not what it should be. Then came the livers and wings. The livers were amazing except for the cracked plate. The wings were completely burned and what was supposed to be southern fried was tasting like charcoal. The pizza was good, can’t complain. I don’t know if it was dirty oil left over from the weekend or what but the fried items were not up to standard. I had to run to the bathroom within minutes of eating the wings. I am very disappointed since I always loved going to Tigers Milk in Durbanville.

    Service was slow which was suprising as the restaurant wasn’t very busy. Pizza was fresh and top notch. Overall an average experience

  • 2/5 Kyla P. 10 months ago on Google
    I was highly disappointed in the food my friend and I received, our food was cold and lacked flavor, we decided against complaining only to hear that the table next to us felt the same and received an additional ‘apology meal’ due to the issue of them not receiving and adequate meal in the first place, something we were thinking we should have informed them of ourselves too then. This is not the first time I’ve been disappointed by this tigers milk and their inconsistent service and tasting of meals. Our waitress that evening though was very sweet and accommodating.

    We went through for father's day, our reserved table was a high table which was not suitable for Dad's knee's we were accommodated with another table. All dads were given a free beer and bottle opener which was nice. RIGHT now, the reason for the 2 Star rating, I ordered Vegan nachos which came with chicken, the owner did apologise and remade the dish and removed it from the bill. My sister-law next to me ordered the tacos with a hard shell, I had half of 1 but the taco shell was stale, when the owner asked me how the meal was I told her about the taco shell and she said that she knows about it but it comes from head office like that, as an owner I would expect a call to be made not to serve stale food. If you are not happy with what you are serving then don't serve it, the reputational damage is more harmful to serve sub-standard food than say we are out of stock. I would say if you do visit, to be safe you stick to ordering a Burger and Beer.

    We had to see someone close to this restaurant & then we decided to stop for a cool drink. We ended up ordering meals. And all 3x meals was very tasty & fresh, good size portions & we had a good time chatting. The waitres was very friendly & she looked after us nicely. They have a Extensive Menu with a Great selection of delicious food , drinks & cocktails. Highly recommended & we will visit again.

    Had the Burger special, buy one get one free and it was pretty good.The Strawberry Daiquiri ordered to go with the meal was also well made.

  • 4/5 Celeste-Mellet G. 9 months ago on Google
    The restaurant is beautiful, food was good, backround music extremely loud. Not a big variety of food for children and nothing for them to do. I would rather not take my 5 year old as it is is my opinion a "grown up place" has a bar vibe (hence the loud music) I can imagine the younger crowd with $ enjoy it there. The food ingredients where tops, I like fresh, crisp ingredients, I tried the party parcels & The big fat Greek flat bread, was fantastic!

  • 2/5 Ian L. 1 year ago on Google
    Considering that it was the final today the management clearly didn't organise extra waiters to cope with the capacity filled restaurant. Our waitress was worked off her feet. Bottled beers were warm and took up to an hour to get from the bar. At 6pm various draughts beers ran out...poor planning over a World Cup Final long weekend. Manager seemed out of her depth and delivered food to our table on chipped crockery. Food and atmosphere good just going to leave a little thirsty.

    Food was expensive for what I got but great vibe.

  • 2/5 Manus O. 3 years ago on Google
    Not satisfied steak was ordered well done and received under cooked although indicated well done with sticker. Expected better. Waiter was very apologetic but as received from kitchen. After taken back and returned it was a lot better

  • 5/5 Jean Le R. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place, friendly waitress. Loved the ice-cold (non-alcoholic) beers too. Will be back soon.

  • 5/5 Daniël H. 4 years ago on Google
    Tonight was really awsome. We called in advance to book a place (recommend to do it over weekends), then have a perfectly cooked steak and nice drinks for happy hour (before 7pm). The staff was also friendly and helpful. Golden oldies music were playing in the background bringing back memories. Definitely a place to visit more than once.

  • 5/5 Richard P. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place, friendly service, ice cold beer (Heineken non-alcoholic is so great), tasty burgers, sweetest cheesecake, best coffee! Highly recommended

  • 2/5 Anita R. 3 years ago on Google
    I believe 3 things are important when dining out... Ambiance, Great Food & Excellent Service. Unfortunately on my bday dinner outing to Tigers Milk Durbanville on 1 Dec 2020, the ambiance was great, but the food so Average for the Hype as per menu & overpriced, service tolerable to say the least. Two 🌟 for a place so inviting and eye pleasing decor, dissapointing really :(

  • 5/5 Hugo C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great spot for a beer and a burger. New menu is promissing. Had the bask-in beer and cheese burger. Definitely worth trying.

  • 1/5 Jolandi H. 3 years ago on Google
    I have returned 4 times after receiving terrible service. I wanted to give Tigers Milk Durbanville an opportunity to prove me wrong however, each time it just got worse. Firstly, I always order the same cocktail and not once has it tasted the same. As far as I am aware, there is a recipe that should be followed and it is meant to taste the same. Secondly, just as above, the same holds for the food. Attached you will see an image of the burgers being served. Flavourless and not well prepared at all. Thirdly, the staff is extremely unprofessional and rarely return to the table for a follow-up. Every time I went there, I had to get up and order myself another drink at the bar. Fourthly, I have been going here at various times and days of the weeks to see if the service might be better but as mentioned above, it just gets worse each time. Final remark. I went to the bar last night and it was very quiet. I asked the waiters to please change the sports channel in which my request was ignored. I asked a second time and was told a person at the bar requested a different channel. I decided to wait for the match to finish-up and then asked after the match if they could change the channel. The manager came to me and told me that there was a large group coming in to watch a match which was about to start. To my surprise, I found that the manager lied to me. The game was only to start in an hour’s time, that it was his team playing and that there were no booking coming in. Usually when you have a problem, you speak to a manager. Here, you do not have that option. Strongly would advise against coming to this Tigers Milk.

    Really slow service on a Friday and my cocktail was half a cosmopolitan - perhaps saving on booze costs. Pizza's were great.
