What to Order
Squid
This appetizer is a standout, praised for its perfect cooking, excellent flavor, and tender texture, often served with house-made hot sauces.
"We started with the squid, and the Chef brought out a selection of house-made hot sauces just for us. This is exactly why we love sitting kitchen-side; those little touches and personalized upgrades make it special."
Amanda

A consistently delicious main, the lamb sirloin is perfectly cooked and well-paired with its accompaniments, making it a highly recommended choice.
"My wife and I had an incredible dining experience at Braai House. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. We started with the squid and scallops, which were beautifully prepared — tender, flavourful, and plated with care."

Bobotie Spring Rolls
These spring rolls are a highly recommended appetizer, noted as a standout dish by multiple diners.
"First time trying this restaurant and it was great! My boyfriend and I sat at the chef's counter and we had a fun time watching the cooks do their work. Our server Joel was super friendly and a great guy! He was very attentive and kept checking in on us to make sure we were doing okay and he made our entire experience very comfortable. The food was really tasty, we got the spring rolls, braai burger and the hermanus sting pizza."
