    Godfrey was a fantastic host/waiter. He served us exceptionally and catered to all our needs including a sweet unexpected surprise for the birthday we were celebrating. An overall 10/10 experience. We will be SO back

    Hi Mbali, Thank you for such a wonderful review! I will definitely pass the message on to Godfrey! We look forward to hosting you again soon!

    It's not often you find restaurants in Joburg that balance ambience and quality food - so hats off to the Obscura team! The staff were very attentive and knew the menu well. The cocktails are pricey but absolutely worth it. There were four of us so we ordered all of the Tapas plates barring 2. Key highlight was the Broccoli (I mean everything was tasty, we had just never tasted Broccoli that good before!). The vibe was awesome - good music but not too loud and a mature crowd. I'll definitely be coming back again ☺️
