    As always it is a pleasure to dine at this Restuarant . We were welcomed like VIP’s - guessing the waiters/barmen and staff have become use to seeing us frequent the Restuarant - this instills confidence that the hotel notices and takes care of their guests . I cannot fault anything with this Restuarant , though again we did feel that the roast at the carvery was a bit dry - perhaps the chef should think of carving slices before hand as he was often not at the station at the time we wanted to have some meat . But that is just my opinion on that . Falooda again was top notch . Foods and desserts are always flavourful and more than enough options to choose from. Thank you Hyatt and 126 Cape Kitchen for an always lovely experience at your establishment . We absolutely always enjoy our time there and is always value for money and time well spent .

    This is our second/third time at 126 Cape Kitchen & Cafe. Our previous visits were rather disappointing. But I can honestly say that this time around (third time lucky) we were pleasantly surprised. The food was top-notch and beautifully presented. We were spoilt for choice. There was also a wide range of desserts. Our waitress was very helpful without being intrusive. Compliments to the staff and the kitchen.

    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 .
