Welcome to GOLD Restaurant where dining is a celebration of food, flavours, family and friends, accompanied by live entertainment. Come and celebrate with us.

While honouring African culinary traditions we combine these with modern flavours and techniques to serve up a sophisticated African feast that we change seasonally.

African food is traditionally shared and enjoyed with family and friends. Similarly, our 14-dish tasting menu is served in generous individual and shared portions. Each dish is brought to your table with country of origin, cooking techniques and spicing explained. All our Halaal-certified meat, poultry and fish dishes come with vegetarian or vegan substitutes. Please inform us of your dietary preferences when booking so that we can adjust accordingly.

Family is central to African culture and children are welcome. There is no dress code and were open 7 days a week. We welcome walk-ins when capacity allows but we cannot guarantee availability, so we urge you to pre-book.

    My expectation were pretty high I am afraid.. The starters were good but my waiter was not too clear when explaining the dishes. The rest came all together so could not really understand what I was eating.

    Our experience at the restaurant was phenomenal. The food was scrumptious and spectacular. The live entertainment was like we were in a dream. Absolutely astonishing! We loved the face painting! The waiters are very welcoming and kind! Definitely would come again!

    Excellent night out and good value for money however we were seated upstairs in an already packed venue and had no sight of the stage where the show was

    What an absolutely beautiful place, warm and inviting. Staff were fantastic and the entertainment was so much more than expected. Definitely a place to visit.

    Amazing experience; not to be missed. Staff and entertainment were second to non. Food was great. Small portions of 14 dishes but if you like something they bring you more (and if you have room to do so, good on ya-we were stuffed).

    Wait staff had an attitude from the start. Brought us the wrong drinks and refused to take them from the table when informed multiple times. Would get annoyed that we had to ask them to repeat themselves when talking to us during the loud performances. Performances were nice and I enjoyed the Xhosa lesson. The food was good, but not great. It would have been better to have a written menu so we knew what we were eating, since it was so difficult to hear the wait staff. Abongile (not sure if I spelled that right, apologies) in particular was sour faced all night and unpleasant.
