Waiter was lovely and food was delicious with a worth it price. Will be returning!
I wanted to try something that I hadn't eaten before, so I went with African food. I did not know what to expect when I went in. There was a really nice vibe in the restaurant. The host was really polite and was smiling all the time. I had the Nyala special and Kuku Na Nazi.
Kuku Na Nazi was a chicken dish, full of spices, that came with couscous. I was blown away in the first bite that I had. The chicken and the curry had amazing flavors. The chicken was cooked beautifully. There was an exceptional mix of spices which gave the chicken an amazing flavor.
Nyala special was a beef stew that was served a mix of vegetables and Injera. Injera was sort of bread that came with it and I had never had anything like it. It had a different texture from everything I've ever had. It completely soaked the curry and the flavors from the beef and when you eat it you get all the juices and the curry with the bread in your mouth. It was just amazing. I thought the beef was a bit too heavy for me. There was a lot of oil and the beef itself was chewier than I would have liked.
Overall it was a great experience to try the new cuisine. I would definitely recommend you to go and give it a try. They accept Zomato gold, so you will get a complimentary dish depending on what you order, so that's always good. But I should warn you that the portions are huge so order accordingly.. :P
Nyala deserves to be packed out every night; but it is really good to be able to just rock up with some wine and have a great meal. If there are three, or more, people I would recommend the mixed entrees/dips, the meat combo and the vegetarian combo. If you only have two then go for the mixed entrees/dips and the two meat/two veg platter. It gives you a great combination of flavours. We eat here often and have never been disappointed. The atmosphere is great, the waiters terrific, the food always good and the prices very reasonable. If they have the music on Saturday it is well worth the extra $2 as well. If you ring them and give them a heads up you can have gluten free Injera as well. What I really like is the food is spiced for taste, rather than heat, but they do have dishes that can blow away your tastebuds if you want to. The waiter will be happy to guide you.
