👍👍 We took several students from the United States and had an outstanding time at Lelapa.

👍👍 Vert flavourful sauce (I had the doro wot). Slightly spicy sauce with a chicken leg and an egg. The bread was a little too much compared to the amount of sauce but the flavours were great and the owner was nice and welcoming. Would come again here!

Bebe Rose Restaurant
African restaurant
😠 Unfortunately this listing does not represent or reflect what the BeBe Rose is today. The pictures are from a bygone business. It appears to have morphed into some kind of baron scape drab nightclub. There is a sparse kitchen and some wooden tables and benches. Skip at all costs.

😠 Yesterday in the afternoon we bought food for take away there. I cannot recommend it. It is very expensive (e.g. a small portion of pap for 50 rand or plain white rice for 60 rand). Furthermore they put some additional dish on the bill for 130 which we neither ordered nor received. We noticed that w...
