$47 per person for all you can eat. With so much variety how can you say no?
The place was packed out, however I did spy a few free tables for two. We arrived at the counter area and told them we wanted a table for two. The owner (I assumed) nodded and told us to sit by the bar and get a drink while we waited for 10 minutes for our table. Why? Is this meant to be some kind of trick to make us buy a drink at the bar before eating? This aside, we didn't buy drinks and we just waited before a Waitress came over and took us to our table. She was very polite and I was impressed immediately by the level of service she provided. Many of the sides available we were unfamiliar with however she happily pointed us in the direction of the more different sides to choose from. We got the Cassava (As my friend Daniel put it aptly, "It's potato scallop in a chip form"), Tomato Salad (A combination of chopped tomato, onion, olive, cheese) and Yellow Rice (Quite fragrant, borderline sweet in taste). These are not designed as entrees! They are to compliment the meats, so pair them up with the meats and you'll find it a very enjoyable experience.
We ordered a jug of Sangria to go with our meal that was to come and I found it to be better than average. No sooner did I start sipping on my beverage we quickly gathered how the process for getting food on our plates worked;
The waiters walk around with large bayonets that have the meat skewered through them. They come to your table and ask if you would like whatever the meat is they are offering on them. If you agree, they then carve it off slightly, and using tongs provided to you, you take it off as they continue to carve. If no, they simply continue on. This process is not as frequent or as intrusive as you may think and instead found it rather relaxed. I should note also you'll see these things on your table also;
At first glance they look like salt and pepper shakers, then once you notice there is no hole to pour out anything you may think they are decoration. They're not! They are there to let the waiters know when you want food to keep coming, or when you want a break from eating. We didn't realise this until we were finished as nobody explained this to us prior! Oh well, you know now anyway.
I would recommend you try as many of the different types of meat available as possible; they were all very tender and they all seemed to have their own unique marinade to them which really made it memorable. The only ones I did not enjoy were the lamb ribs and the pork ribs. I found those lacklustre however everthing else was very enjoyable and you could really tell it was done using a proper BBQ method of Charcoal and Wood. I enjoyed most the Flank Steak, Pork neck, Scotch Fillet, Pineapple (BBQ'd!) and Prawns.
I would give dessert a miss here and go elsewhere.
So, some of the things on the menu are a bit hit and miss, other than that it is very good for what it is and I think this place is really geared towards larger groups for a rowdy dinner night out before going out to a bar or club.
In total it came to around $168 for two of us, including drinks. Not bad.
I'd give it a 7/10. Worth a try.
