    One of my dad’s favourite restaurants. We thought we would try breakfast. Sat on the balcony overlooking the harbour. Nice choice of breakfasts with a South African twist. Not disappointed and will definitely go back.

    We came to Cornwall for my son's birthday (he's at uni there and has wanted to try this place for ages). What a great place to eat. We booked for Saturday night and could only get a table at 5pm. When we got there most of the tables had reserved signs on them, and by 6pm all the tables were full. A full restaurant is always a good sign I think. Very welcoming staff, and good atmosphere. We ordered drinks which arrived quickly, we had several different cocktails throughout the night, and all were delicious. For starters we had calamari, and bunny chow which were both amazing, and for mains we had espetada which was easily the best dish, ostrich sosatie which was lovely, and bobotie. For dessert we had mud pie, and malva pudding. Both excellent. We had a really good evening, it was very busy but the staff were buzzing around and quick to help whenever needed. Great place, booking beforehand is probably a good idea. It's not that cheap, the prices are higher than the menu photo from 6 months ago (the espetada was £28, the sosatie was £30 and the bobotie was £22), but it's still worth it for a nice evening out. They also sell biltong, droewors and stokkies too, what's not to like!

    Lovely restaurant with pavement seating out front to have a coffee and watch the world go by on the popular walking street. Also has balcony seating out the back with views over the harbour. Interesting African themed interior with comfy seating. Really friendly staff and looked after us well.

    We sat out the back on the balcony and had a nice view of the harbour. I had the chicken and avocado burger for lunch, and a cocktail. There's plenty of activity and sounds around the harbour for atmosphere while you eat and drink. The staff were friendly and chatty.

    If you're looking for authenticity, then look no further. The service is kind and friendly and the vibe... well, I could have been in Cape Town. I nearly forgot where I was, but soon got brought back down to earth when i saw a man through the window, eating a pasty. That poor man might never know the joy of a boereworse or drinking an ice cold Windhoek Lager. We can't all be that lucky, but i am, and so could you! My only complaint is that I couldn't eat everything on the menu. I plan to remedy this by frequent future visits! Many thanks to everyone at Amanzi, my fiancé and I had a great time and will be back soon!

    The food is definitely unique for Cornwall, but was a bit expensive and regrettably wasn't to our taste. That's not to fault the service or atmosphere which were top notch. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

    Absolutely fantastic. Best ribs I've had in ages. Food to remind me home and a fantastic relaxed atmosphere. Staff were very friendly as well. We'll worth the hour and a half drive.

    What a perfect find. We were just walking past on a rainy Tuesday lunchtime and decided to pop in for a quick drink. This turned out to be a cream tea.. yes in an African restaurant but it was so nice, one of the best finds to date and the staff were so pleasant. Well done we will definitely be back next time we are in Falmouth.

    What a lovely warm reception we were given at Amanzi tonight. We were looking forward to trying the restaurant after reading great reviews and we were not disappointed. It was difficult to choose - but we eventually settled on ribs and the ostrich sosatie. We'd recommend both! Our compliments to the chef, because the ostrich, which is a lean meat, wasn't overcooked or dry. The meat chunks were a good size and had been seared well on the braai, with apricot and bacon between. The pork ribs fell off the bone and had a delicious sweet, smokey sauce. Remember it's South African portions, so maybe arrive half starved. And don't forget to book. We're so glad to have found Amanzi and it will definitely be an essential part of our Cornish holidays.

    Great restaurant with a great anglo-south African vibe. It's very comfortable inside, and service was very good even though there was a misunderstanding over what was ordered. Once discovered, it was sorted out right away. Cocktails here are £10-11. But they are well mixed and good value for money. I recommend the Black Rhino. They have veggie options
