The Harv Table by Leko Madlala

Wow. Truly amazing food. Staff is so friendly and attentive. Came during my lunch break and I’m so happy with my experience here. Keep it up guys. Brian our waiter informed us that it’s his 3rd day at the job and he did so well.

My friend flew in for 48hrs and we stumbled on the restaurant and tried it out. What a great surprise. Living out of SA she wanted a taste of home and this was perfect. Music was good, not too loud, food was incredible. I ordered Mogodu for takeaway and she ate Lamb-stew. I had a Barone cake while waiting for my food. I loved the presentation, finishes and food flavour. What was meant to be 30min coffee date with takeaways ended up being 3hrs with champagne, cake and food for home. Our waiter Jabulani- what a gem!!! I firmly believe he’s service is what topped our experience. What amazing service, food recommendations & drink knowledge.

I went to The Harv Table for brunch. I had read a lot of good reviews about it, so I was super excited. It’s inside a shopping centre and I was easy to spot, we ordered the magwinya and atchaar for starters and had Mogodu and lamb curry for mains. The starters were nice, I enjoyed the magwinya’s, so soft and just enough sugar. I loved them. Now the mains, the mains smelt good, especially the lamb I curry and I thought it was going to be delicious but it wasn’t, it okay . The Mogodu was literally julienned into such small pieces, it was hard to enjoy. We felt both dishes lacked flavour and needed a little punch. The mark up on their wines was insane and the I felt the cocktails are way too expensive. The service was pretty quick when we arrived, menus and complimentary magwinya’s came fairly quickly but the service sort of went downhill after being served our mains- our waiter didn’t really check on us for like an hour after that, until we asked for the bill. We would’ve liked to have dessert but we were put off a little bit. The owner was nice and I thought the place has potential, so I’d go back to try their other dishes

So we had a team lunch, and the food was good and service was great, but they were missing stuff from the menu! Get this, they even charged us extra for things they didn't even have, and that we didnt order! The owner needs to hear about this. #Overcharge #CustomerService #Feedback #Issues

Absolutely horrible service. The place was super quiet as it was during the week at lunch time, but the service was horrible. The waiters and waitresses just stand outside and do nothing. After having trotters, you’d expect water to wash one’s hands but no, I had to wash my hands in the toilet. We asked for takeaway of the food we eat, even that was an issue. The lady took the trotters away, leaving the starch and vegetables. She never brought them back, we had to ask someone else to bring takeaway boxes for the starch and vegetables, and he did but we could not find where the lady took the trotters to until we asked the waiter multiple times It was my second time here, and I wouldn’t recommend it. There’s cheaper places with better service than this.
