Newscafe Braamfontein

I got the shock of my life lastnight after spending R200 on their oxtail and rice meal. Guys it was literally the worst meal i have ever tasted, the rice was under cooked and dry, the oxtail was just watery and had a basic lame taste, to top it off they just added 2 small pieces of the oxtail which was mostly fat. No sides whatsoever. The worst part is we ordered 3 of these meals, its the worst thing ive ever tasted .

We had a fantastic time at this News Cafe. The platter was simply exquisite. A perfect date night spot for great bevs and delicious food. Definitely coming back.

Wow...I'm not sure I'll eat at this News Cafe again. Or let me rather say...I'll stay away from the food specials. I ordered one of the specials that they have advertised; Pasta la Vista - Boerie Pasta. The portion was way below what I expected; very small to say the least. But then again, maybe the portion was related to the price. I could literally see the bottom of my dish. It was very dry, the penne was so hard, some parts were even crispy & a bit charred. I ended up requesting a side cheese sauce, which I added to the pasta dish and the additional Tabasco sauce was meal's lifesaver.

The service is extremely slow. We have been waiting for over an hour for a simple order of two burgers and one sandwich. There are only about 14 customers here, which is probably due to the very slow service. It was quite busy not very long ago.

I love the location, its always good to work from here, their menu is not bad and their prices are good. Great service from the staff, clean environment.

Great vibe! Amazing and attentive waiters..they always deliver if you're looking for a fun night out. Great food!

I'm disappointed, I waited very patiently for an hour for my food to come, when I eventually enquire about my order, the waiter says he forgot to place my order, after 1 beer, 1 hour waiting, I had to leave hungry, mind you, I had nothing to eat all day, hope this is not common lack of service with patrons.

They could really invest more in their plates most of the plates have chips, unless it's just my misfortune Their bathrooms also. I mean ordinarily who wants to sit, but some toilet seats may really do the good. Three stars mostly because the staff is great, friendly and most of them highly efficient and the food is good. During the day it's a perfect place to do some work over lunch or drinks.

A VERY nice place to be just to relax and have with friends ans ohhhhj the music is always lit thanks to the dj

I wish there was a zero star rating to be honest the food that was ordered and delivered was completely diffrent. The quality of the food was a disgrace to be honest. Bland undercooked underseasoned. The meat was so tough and of such low grade you could almost not cut thru it with a steak knife. Its like chewing a peace of rubber. When we called them to ask them to fix the incorrectly supplied food we simply got told they could not replace it as the delivery company could not do this. Which was a lie as i phoned the delivery company and they stated they would deliver for a fee. Asked to talk to the manager and got told you are talking to the manager which i will never believe because no manager would ever talk theire customer down, talk over a customer, state that its not theire fault the delivery company wont deliver.
