We went on a Wednesday night so it was pretty quiet. We got the vegan platter which was lovely but one of the dishes was cold.

Amazing food, great vibe, wait staff was busy as but ensured every table was well looked after. It was refreshing to enjoy the live music 🤗 all so authentic and without any fluff. I would definitely recommend a visit. Also, don’t miss the fried banana dessert :)

We got the banquet which was not that great! There were not as many dishes as we expected, and the dessert was just plain ice cream. You should change the offer to include more and only African dishes. You should let the diners pick from a range of dishes, or increase the number of food that you offer. The next time (oh yes, we're coming back. The food was delicious!), we'll order individual items off the menu. Couldn't get the authentic experience we were hoping to. Hope this review is not public but only goes to the restaurant/owners.

Large space nicely decorated. Friendly and attentive service. Extensive range of dishes for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Entrees and mains all colourful, generous and delicious. The signature battered cauliflower dish lived up to the hype. Highly recommended.

It was a wonderful evening at Nyala. We loved the ambiance and food. The service was also amazing. Fortunately it was combined with a wonderful art exhibition by the talented Zion Yaynu @artistic_noiz and live music by Amadou Suso. Beautiful evening.

We had one of the banquets on offer for 5 people and there was plenty, no one went hungry. The service was pleasant but it was a bit noisy, but then it was a Friday night. I would definitely recommend.
