Highly recommend both the lamb and the vegetable curry! The elegant presentation of the food is an excellent representation of the flavor experience that awaits. From perfectly prepared vegetables to tantalizing curries this is a must stop! Not only is there an impressive selection of options (keeping both meat-eaters and vegans happy) but your senses will also be in for a treat as you sit in a room filled with the most beautiful artworks!

I wish this place was in Durban. I have never had such a good plate of food (sorry Ma). Every part of my dish was amazing and that is why i just had to come back to have that experience again.

Friendly staff who did not mind to change our room for us to a different one. The electric blanket was a bonus as it was very cold. The restaurant served good heartedly Karoo meals. Stay was good value for money. Always love our visits to Nieu Bethesda.

Well kept café and restaurant. Seating both outside and inside. Enjoyed a cup of coffee, salad of the day and veg samoosas. All good and enjoyable.
