This is definitely the braai block to go to. The service we got from LUX was too good. LUX is a very good waiter and makes sure he understands what we want. Ask for him when you go there to get your money’s worth.

I've been a long-time customer of Braai Bloc Faerie Glen and have always received great customer service and above all, authentic African food. I recently approached them to do the catering for a large corporate function for BVi Consulting Engineers and they absolutely proved why they are one of the best in the business. I was concerned because I approached them with the order on short notice, on the day of collection - the order was ready, expertly sealed and packed for me to collect. Thank you Braai Bloc for never letting me down!

The food is nice but I wasn't happy with their service. I bought 3 meals of pap and braai only to be told after waiting for so long that they had no pap but I had already paid for it. I am not so happy with the way how they wasted my time. Will you kindly improve on your services provisions. Afterwards the food was cold, I asked them to warm it up only to find them making me stupid and laughing at me. Especially the other slim lady at the till just needs to go back to school and learn about customer service. To be honest I will not come back to spend my money here again and with the same team which saved me , I will not recommend anyone to come and buy here.
