Most Popular Grill food in Soweto, Johannesburg, Gauteng
Find out what Grill restaurants to try in Soweto. An acronym for South Western Townships, Soweto was dubbed as such in 1963. The area began in the late 19th century as a temporary neighborhood for gold mine workers, then later became a black Johannesburg ghetto with forced apartheid settlement. In 1976, Soweto garnered international headlines with its deadly uprising against Afrikaans-only language education. The Mandela Family Museum and the recently restored Credo Mutwa Village (with its Zulu and Sotho homesteads) are two can't-miss sights.

Visited them , we were seven seated. We ordered three pizzas , 01 burger and 03 steaks from the menus .The three pizzas arrived at the same time , nearly 05 minutes later the steaks and about 05 minutes later the one burger . Everyone was happy with their food . When one goes out for supper the aim is to enjoy all the food at the same time and together.The planning should have been better to ensure all get their food at the same time. I was much disappointed in my pizza , , their was not much crumbed fetta , I ordered extra mushrooms but could hardly find them . With pricing at this establishment being what they are there should be no need to be skimpy.Don't think I will visit them again if the choice depends on me

Tasty breakfast very well prepared, excellent service, good coffee (will ask for extra large cup next time). Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended- but be sure to get there early. It is a smallish venue, and popular. Creamy mushrooms - to die for!

This old dame never disappoints. There is certainly a reason they have been around for so long. Maintaining the charm of a 60s/70s steakhouse. The waiting staff to management radiate old school warm, family hospitality. The food is certainly better than most fancy, trendy steakhouses in JHB. Their ribs are the star of the show. Ribs you will be craving soon after your 1st visit. Even their side dishes are pure comfort. If you feel like a starter before the gigantic rib portion, the prawn cocktail took me on a stroll down memory lane. Simple but delicious. The desserts will ring a few bells too! Will be back again and again. Saul, our waiter, was a gem. Donât know why all restaurants cannot maintain this kind of service and passion amongst staff. Winning formula.
6. Villa E Kasi
Reviewed By TravelOften1968
Situated right near Mandela's House and Tutu's house, a popular place for tours to take their guests. You will most likely be greeted by the owner/operator. Serves traditional African food as a self-serve buffet with drinks ordered and served to table. Dressed down African food, but a good location to watch the Vilakazi street scene.

I've visited Thrive on several occasions before. The music is always blaring. I can live with that because I always sit outside. My latest visit was on a Tuesday morning. It wasn't busy - maybe 6 customers in total. We ordered a quiche and after 10 minutes were told that it wasn't available. After another 10 minutes we were told that the chicken for the chicken baguette was still frozen so it would take another 10 minutes. After another 10 minutes we were told that they didn't have eggs for the Greek salad but they would put Feta on the salad instead. (The salad is listed as already having Feta).They then brought the wrong order to the table. When the food did arrive the baguettes were so hard they couldn't be eaten. I'm too embarrassed to take people there ever again. Hi Laurence, we will investigate what happened immediately and try to deal with any underlying issues that we find. Sorry for your bad experience. Our mission is to provide the best dishes and service on the "street" and we will take all necessary action to rectify. RegardsRoss (Thrive Director)

Tasty food. The range compares with home cooking because you will get your pap gravy spinach which in my language we call "morogo".
