Lovely venue, well situated and perfect for little children. The menu doesn't have much variety but the meal we had was enjoyable. The service was friendly and helpful, although they had to go a few times back to the kitchen to answer questions of the menu, but all around good service. Worth a try if you have kids especially.

What a hidden gem. I went there for the first time today with my kids and I’ve decided to go back for my daughter’s 2nd birthday lunch. I had to drag my kids out of there screaming. The food was yummy for adults, the kids have their own delicious menu and they get to interact with other kids in the spacious playground - there’s painting, tree houses, slides, jumping castle, you name it. I found the variety of the menu good. The restaurant has a rustic outdoor aesthetic. Hate to say it but it’s 100x better than joy jozi for me and the service was great. The owner welcomes you and makes you feel at home. I’ve found a new go-to place for my kids and I❤️ will post more pics after the birthday lunch.

Finally had the opportunity to sit and order from the menu. What a treat!
Exceptional Mozambique Half Chicken for me and the rest of the family loved their food even more… can’t wait to come back for more soon!

I was invited to a children's birthday party. We were welcomed by one of the owners, Voyk, with a big smile, and I almost felt like I was welcomed into somebody's home. The photos do absolutely no justice to the volume of food served in the platters. The fruit platter was crisp and cold with only the tastiest fruits. The ribs were succulent, and the meat just fell off the bone. The basting was not too sweet, and the volume was spot on. The chicken strips were perfectly fried and still juicy inside, I often find chicken breast dry, but these were amazing. The pregos were well balanced with fresh buns and a generous piece of chicken. The children were constantly entertained with lots to do. The kiddies' play area is clean and well maintained. The slip and slide was one of the highlights for our kids. There was a magic show that the kids loved. There's also painting, for R100 the children can choose a canvas to paint and take home. Overall, it was an amazing day, enjoyed by all, and I can't wait to go back.

Decided to finally try out this restaurant after seeing it numerous times. On arrival we were greeted by the friendly staff who even accommodated us to a seating area in the shade with a view of the kids. Service is a bit slow but attentive. Food was delicious especially the grilled fish. Order the frozen alcohol slushies which didn't taste much of alcohol and this was quickly rectified. Will definitely go back again. Call in advance as there was a water slide for the kids.

So it happened that we were suddenly alone on Xmas day and we decided to visit AJ's for lunch. What a spread! Between Vojk who served with personal flair and Candice who brought out the desserts and Nelson who diligently managed the table rotations, we experienced one of the best lunches whilst the lil'un was enjoying the slippy-slide and sunshine. The venue is on the repurposed bowling ground which gives the kiddies some space to exercise their kicks (under the watchful eyes of the child minder) and you can enjoy the hospitality while the excellent food is being served by Angelique and the others. I'm now a regular.
Edit November 2023:
We visited today for a quick lunch and I noticed that there is a lot of construction and stuff going on. It isn't completed yet but I can't wait to see the final result and I will remain one of their regular customers.

Lovely afternoon spent here. I also have to agree that the personal greeting and engagement with the owner adds a special touch.
The food was delicious, they had a big group that they were busy with so the food came rather late but it was worth the wait. The waiters are good and the facilities are 100% great for kids with lots to do for them.

Just want to share that I hadnt been here in years until this past Sunday. My son had his 2nd birthday party here and is now 7. The changes are incredible. It was already an awesome venue back then! We ordered the blue cheese burger and seafood snack platter. The prawn, calamari and everything really was amazing! I was pleased to hear the owner is the same sweet guy I met years ago as well. Wow the food is good, I don't often rave about seafood or even order it because it's never good so far from the ocean😂 but wow! We sat on the deck over looking the field and our awesome waiter brought my son an airplane to throw around. He was great, unfortunately can't remember his name though. My partner and I were very full because we couldn't stop eating the food. Thank you so much!
