This restaurant had another place in Morrison street which was much bigger and they did Halaal food. Now they have closed and moved further up and they no longer do halaal meat. Shame the concept was really good but wont be going there anymore. This is just my view as they dont do Halaal meat.

They had run out of rose wine which was surprising. The food was fine but nothing special. The atmosphere was nowhere near as good as in their previous venues and the lighting is largely bare light bulbs, not relaxing for a restaurant!

lovely meal. We’re steak lovers & while the quality was quite good (I’ve been spoilt by actual Braai’s in South Africa so I think I was expecting that), the quantity was seriously good! Great value for money & still very tasty. We would definitely be back.

Everything was absolutely perfect from the quaint surroundings, very attentive service staff and, of course, the food including taste and portions. My husband and I actually shared a mixed plate and it was quite ample !

This restaurant was recommended to us with great reviews. There were 4 of us. I had a fillet steak, which was good enough but didn't think much of the sides, overcooked wedges and mushrooms and tasteless onion rings. My husband ordered a ribye, my friend a sirloin and her husband a t-bone steak, however all their steaks were tough and they only ate a quarter at most. We complained and didn't have to pay for 3 out of 4 steaks. Overall we were all really disappointed with the food however we could not fault the service or the staff as they were very attentive and they took our complaint on board and quickly offered money off the 3 steaks. If only the food had matched the wonderful staff who offered great service.

This is a great restaurant. We had the starter, Fanagalo. Which was really a bucketful of delicious meat. Sausages, chicken wings, melting ribs, meatballs, all barbecued to perfection. Unfortunately, we were too filled up to even think of doing a main course (but I will definitely be back to try the potjie and the pap and vlies) we did share a spectacular amarula malva pudding (it was like a sticky toffee pudding)

We frequent Shebeen quite regularly for a couple who live in the USA. My husband and I both work for an airline and Shebeen is one of our most favourite restaurants on our layovers. The food is consistently good, I love the steaks, the flavour and the presentation is fantastic. You will never leave feeling anything but full and often with a treat for the next day. I've recommended the restaurant to passengers on the plane as they often ask if we know places to go and I am fully confident they will enjoy it as much as we do. The servers are always fun and pleasant, we have never had a bad night there, my only complaint, is that they sometimes are full and as we have to make reservations at the last minute I completely understand that they cant always fit us in!

We had to wait one hour and 20 minutes for a Burger and two ribryes. The ribeyes were cooked medium rare and medium but the meat was so tough that you couldn't cut it with a knife..

Food was excellent. Iv had the peppermint crisp dessert every time iv been to shebeen but was disappointed with it this time because I think that they have changed it slightly. We were left waiting a while for the empty plates and glasses to be cleared from our table. Apart from those issues everything was excellent.

Service was excellent, meat prepared to perfection. Atmosphere lively but relaxed. The malva pudding dessert was wonderful, but not sure why ice cream/cream is not served to compliment such a rich, sweet dessert. To their credit, they added this foc on request. An enjoyable evening, this may well become a regular venue - excellent value for money.
