    Absolutely love going to 126 Cape Kitchen at Hyatt - it it is one of our most fave Restuarants to visit . It was our first time experiencing the Iftar Buffet and was not sure what to expect , however as always the chefs outdo themselves . We welcomed the complimentary water and savouries - pies & samoosas were fluffy and yummy .The falooda milkshake was so creamy ( something we don’t usually drink ) but was well worth having and could not get enough of it . The foods as usual flavourful and a variety to choose from . We did find the meat from the carvery to be a bit tough but flavour was still there . Our fave was the def the butter chicken. Desserts were also a lovely variety , not to many , just enough and bite sizes so you didn’t feel to much of a greed :) … The iftar menu is well worth it , value for money , and as always the service and ambience at the restaurant was plus plus . We didn’t get to be seated at our usual table we prefer , but still enjoyed where we were seated . Thank you to the staff and chefs for a lovely Iftar evening . We will def give that a try again .

    We opted rather to eat on the terrace. The staff at the hotel were very accommodating and although a very busy day with the minstrels, it was amazing how the staff kept up the busy pressure and assisted us wuth everything. They even charged my cell phone. Really a great experience. Thank you all but in particular to Sarlton. He was a real gem.

    Not all authentic Cape malay dishes. No bobotie, samoosas could be more spicy. Daltjies were too oily. Artappel porring was good. Should include denningvleis and khima kerrie. There are books on authentic Cape Malay dishes. Will still return for a meal. A local visitor
