Fodor's Review:

Don't come expecting a quiet romantic dinner, as the huge space lends itself to a loud and sometimes frenetic scene. Game meat such as warthog, impala, and crocodile vies for space around an enormous open fire with tamer fare such as pork and mutton. Great hunks of meat are brought around to your table on Masai spears and carved directly onto your plate until you (literally) surrender by lowering the flag on your table. Vegetarians won't feel left out, with an excellent vegetarian à la carte menu featuring uniquely African dishes such as aviyal (a spicy mixed vegetable dish cooked in coconut milk).
