General Comments
Fantastic! This is the only way I can describe our experience. The Jabula manager explained the dishes and how it is prepared which is helpful if you want to order authentic South African dishes.



We ordered the Durban Curry, Bobotie, Kudu (Game) and a chicken pot. The curry was beef mince curry and not as we know it. It was slightly sweet and different but very tasty. The Bobotie is a casserole dish. This was the first time I tasted it and will definitely have it again. The Kudu was served with Boerewors which reminds me of Cumberland sausage but nicer. The chicken pot was served in a three-legged black pot. The combination of flavours was good and although it was a bit too much to finish, I enjoyed it thoroughly.



I can only describe my evening out at Jabula as fantastic. The whole atmosphere make you think you are in Africa and I will definitely recommend it.
