The ambience was very nice — a really pretty restaurant to start with, and the staff were attentive and friendly. My chicken loaded fries were lovely, with just the right amount of sauce and plenty of chicken pieces, which I really enjoyed. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. We were told the tap water was discolored, so we had to purchase bottled water instead. At $5 for a small 250ml bottle, this felt unreasonable, especially since we needed more than one bottle just to fill our glasses. The Penne Pasta also wasn’t up to standard. It would have been much better if the sauce had more of a creamy, cheesy flavor.It also looked very bland and unappetising. Also, i ordered the Samosa appetiser however after a while of waiting, the staff told me that they only had 4 and not 5 which was strange! I was offered the veg option and was given an extra piece which was nice,however it wasn't what I wanted. The Samosa were nice in flavour and hot. Overall, it was a nice evening, but with a few improvements, the experience could be much better. To the Owner: you have a beautiful place, a lot of thought has gone into creating this gorgeous restaurant. Please take your customers views on board especially the small issues which can be addressed to make this a wonderful experience. We shall definitely be back to enjoy a meal.

It was a lovely new experience! The ambience is relaxing, decor is very classy, the staff were friendly and efficient. The food was excellent- I had the vegetarian summer special: Lentil and carrot soup Thai green curry And a complimentary glass of rosé wine😊 I highly recommend it and will be back for sure!

The Bajan platter didn’t have distinctive Bajan flavor but it ate well. The passion fruit margarita was FANTASTIC.

I would have shared a review on Sawubona a few months ago when I received disappointing service including almost bare chicken tacos. However, the owner reached out and gave me complimentary tacos which were really good and I give them a 10/10, as they were the very first time I had them. When I wrote my initial review I was really disappointed because I am gluten free and I thought I found a good spot. However, I am happy that they tried to rectify the issue and that is commendable. I am happy to say that I received the tacos I should have gotten that one time and they were absolutely DELICIOUS. I will definitely be back.

Horrible customer service- Very disappointing experience, especially as this was our first visit. We ordered beverages and sides (cheesecake and fries) but were not informed about service charges and were never asked dine-in or takeaway. We assumed it worked like a normal restaurant and sat inside, were having our drinks and cake, and waited for the fries. When the fries arrived, we were rudely told we could not eat inside and that our party was over. We had no issue paying the charge it was simply never explained. We are now eating outside on the benches provided in the compound. We would have happily paid the charges if we were told before and in a polite manner, it seemed like the ladies wanted to chase us out of the restaurant; when it was one hour prior to closing time.
