What a refreshing experience! Personal customer service, good value for money and excellent food. Truly world class, authentic Thai food! Owned and operated by a husband and wife team.
A wonderful break from the hum-drum, predictable food most places have to offer in Uitenhage. An absolute gem. Do yourself a favor and try some... You'll be back for more. I know we will!

Chit Chat Coffee Shop

Reviewed By Mands007 - Port Elizabeth, South Africa

Definitely a diamond in the rough as you don't expect much from the modest exterior of the coffee shop which is situated in a business complex. The owner is hands on and enjoys having a chat with his patrons. The service was great and the food was even better. The prices are so reasonable that it certainly is superb value for money. There are no children's menu items but the staff are very keen to cater for them as they were given crayons and a colouring in book to keep them occupied. We will most definitely be back if ever in the area again.

The Sjiek Shack Coffee

Reviewed By Mands007 - Port Elizabeth, South Africa

This owner managed and run coffee shop is definitely worth a visit. The decor is a mixture of old-fashioned charm with a touch of elegance. The cappuccinos are great and we both really loved our different breakfast options, with the roosterkoek being something worth giving a try. The coffee shop also has a selection of beautifully handcrafted gifts as well as a lovely selection of scarves and jewelry. We have thoroughly enjoyed both occasions we have eaten there and would recommend this quaint little oasis to those wishing to make a stop over in Uitenhage.

Blou Ballon

Reviewed By 440wimv - Uitenhage, South Africa

This new dining concept from Forever Friday opened in Despatch, officially, on 28th April 2017. Although the ambience was a bit bright and stark, the service was courteous and friendly and the food tasty. After a busy opening weekend with a visiting entertainer, the kitchen was a bit low on stock and a number of menu items not available. The Ribs were good. The selection in the Stormers Basket was good, although the contents a bit on the cool side.
