    I enjoyed my meal here.. I had a very cold beer. They accept card. The outlet is classy and well organised.. The staffs love their job so much and are readily available to serve.. The toilet is clean and neat. The environment is very safe so you need not worry about theft. You can take kids there. There are varieties of alcohol to choose from.. Food is very very delicious.

    Great vibe, though staff could have been friendlier and quicker to serve. For me, something totally new (more used to wilderness and isolated farm life.)

    So we arrive at 16:00 for the convinience of parking and comfortability. After we have sat at until 22:00 We arrive at tne parking lot just to be closed off at the parking and need to look for the owners of the vehicles up and down the entire time. Extremely disappointed at the fact that this was suppose to be a exclusive experience for me and it was a horrible experience. Because they have favorite preferences at a franchise. The only thing that was enjoyable is the top seller platter!

    Loved it. We didn't stay long though.

  • 4/5 Sinethemba M. 8 months ago on Google
    The food was nice. But the service was not that great we were attended to late after we were given a table we had to ask for the menu. Our drinks and food also came late as well as the refill for our drinks since our waiter wasn't checking up on us. Atmosphere was good and nice ecstatic.

    Dj's were killing it💃,food was top notch, waiters were good . The place has good vibes honestly everything was just perfect . If you really up for good vibes and drinks. News cafe is the place🥂

  • 2/5 Modikwe M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food tastes okay but the portions are too little for the price charged. The waiter kept removing our ashtray without replacing it. This restaurant is at a nice location and looks beautiful with a good ambiance but they really need to drastically adjust their menu

    I like News Cafe for its cocktails, but this time, I was a bit disappointed. The 1st cocktails were on point. Haike, the 2nd and 3rd were light. It was like we were served Moctails. And waiting time for drinks was bit long. The food and music were great, though .

  • 3/5 Lucia N. 9 months ago on Google
    Aesthetically pleasing place, however I don't recommend it for a brunch/lunch date with a friend, based on the service level they are just used to serving alcoholic drinks then deserting their patrons for long periods. Waitress got my order wrong, was quite cold even though we sat inside and one of the waitresses attending to the tables on the smoking area kept leaving the door open which brought it quite a nippy breeze.

  • 3/5 Noluthando K. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered an eggs benedict and if you know, the poached eggs are suppose to be runny, however I got well done eggs which is strange unless stated that you prefer well done poached eggs. I sent my plate back and when it came back the eggs were correctly poached however a bit watery as if the chef didn't pat dry them a bit. I did however enjoy my breakfast even though the plate lacked a bit. I'm open to coming back trying out other breakfast dishes. Service was good, nothing to complain about.👍🏽

    Place is great. Amazing cocktails and atmosphere. But their wings way way too dry. Took them home for the dogs. Seafood wasn't that bad. A great chef will add to the ambiance.

  • 5/5 Rhyno Van N. 1 year ago on Google

  • 1/5 Kelebogile M. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible experience upon arrival. Had one stuck up dark skinned zulu security who refused to let me in because of my outfit. Mind you I'm old enough and there's other women in mini skirts, but he chose to come for my pants which he deemed to be "too revealing". Luckily there was a a gentleman at the entrance who was kind enough to lend me his jacket and made a deal with the security guy that I would cover up. Few hours later he bumps into me on my way to the toilet without the jacket because it was too hot inside, he ordered me to either leave the club or go wear thar jacket What's the deal with your establishment and what women wear???

    The place is a vibe although I waited for a very long time for a waiter to get my order.. Otherwise the place plays good music..
