    Busy place, hosting a lot of events. Downfall is that waiters are always busy. They disappear for long periods of time, and we literally had to call another person, just to ask for ice. They also don’t have a variety of drinks or a drinks menu. The food was great though. If you’re not looking for a braai don’t go there. It’s mostly meat dishes. They do have salads but like your braai salads (potato and chakalaka)

    I've previously ordered braai for lunch (takeaway), and that's an easy, reasonably priced way to enjoy braai meat, but my best experience with this establishment has got to be the intimate birthday dinner I recently planned. I was initially concerned when we were told not to play our own music, but on the night, I understand why it wouldn't have worked. We were in the VIP room. It was so beautifully set up by Elahleni's own decor team, and with the door closed, we could faintly hear the chatter and buzz from the other patrons. The food is good and the staff is helpful.

    Wings were raw not nicely done, but red meat was very nice as always. Keep the place clean especially where we buy meat.

  • 4/5 Sikelela M. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is good but sometimes the people taking your order dont have a care in the world about the specific things you want them to do to your meat

    This restaurant is pathetic. The service is absolutely pathetic. Non existent. They also never have any wine ect. The food is nice so I returned just to be shocked out of my shoes. This is really the worst you can get

  • 4/5 Akhumzi K. 1 year ago on Google
    Meat is proper, fresh too, atmosphere is best, parking not so much but I guess there is nothing you can do there. Overall, I can come there anyday it's worth the drive 😉. Love that you got beers too lol but ya prices there are steep can one bring their own beer? Very nice and clean establishment I also love that one can call in to order. Kudos hey

    The service was horrible,it was a birthday party yesterday.not happy at all

  • 3/5 Faith H. 1 year ago on Google
    It was very quiet, no music only TV. It's not bad if you don't like noise. The food was averaged as they serve one bean salad however it's tasty (braai meat). They provide lamb which was impressive as most braai places do not provide it. The cocktail menu is limited and they didn't have straws 🥤...

    Top A+ Service, I have been there twice and I must say they are tops , the atmosphere, the service and food, you will not go wrong for visiting and spending time there. I wil definitely come again and do business.. Keep doing what you do best. The meat is fresh but I think try and have various sauces for the meat.

  • 3/5 Musundwa M. 4 years ago on Google
    So much potential that is not being fully utilized. The food is good and the place is beautiful but no vibe at all, advertising is really needed to get the place buzzing. But definitely a place to try if ever you in East London

👍👍 Great tasting burgers. Fast very fast service. Would have loved a basket on the vehicle window instead of a box but that's just me. They say you haven't experienced East London if you haven't tried a Windmill Burger and chips and now I now why. Will be back! Awesome experience

👍👍 Great burgers at reasonable price. Service a bit slow as all waiters are either talking with each other at the entrance or playing on their cellphones. Nice view from the deck.
