• The drinks and cocktails are also quite good
• The ambiance of the place is quirky and enjoyable along with being comfortable
• The service is good and the servers are friendly

• As Shaka Zulu London (Camden Town)s is one of the exclusive ones for fine dining
• The drinks and food is ought to be expensive
• The service is pretty good with the staff being quite warm
• The ambience was just amazing and made the whole experience all the more lovely

• The food was awful and as was the service
• Though the staff was abundant for the amount of customers present
• The food was pretty expensive for it's worth which really put us off but the only good thing was the good quality wine that we had there
• All in all it was a waste of money and would not want to visit again
• The service was quick and organised and the food came out hot (a huge improvement from last year's Christmas dinner
• ) My only complaint was that they didn't have sauces on the table and I love cranberry sauce
• The only uncomfortable thing about the evening was that as soon as everyone had finished they rushed us upstairs to free up the table for the next booking
• Overall nice atmosphere and tasty food considering they were catering for lots of Christmas parties
• The seabream was grilled crispy on the outside soft and delicious on the inside
• The yellow tail was also cooked well and the mash was a good accompaniment with the texture of the fish
• The thing I didnt like was the prices
• Despite the fact I even for 2 for 1 on my meal with my taste card
• We had opted for the sunday lunch thinking it would be unusual but it was just a roast so we switched to the a la carte menu

• My friend was having a birthday and we were given a complimentary bottle of champagne
• The chicken from the regular menu is halal only
• The interior of Shaka Zulu London (Camden Town) is exquisite and certainly worth a trip
• Slightly over priced but that is a reflection of their interior and atmosphere
• You also need to pay extra for items that are considered "
• Like vegetables with your main meal
• Before you enter the menu is right outside for people to see because shaka zulu is quite pricey
• It's quite dark and very decorated with animals like elephants
• Its a underground restaurant but it was very dark lightening which I hated because the waitresses couldn't see me calling her when I need her for something
• 12 and they have me only 6 oysters and my friend order beef jerky and it was a small portion
• It's wasn't strong and there was barley any juice or alcohol inside it I felt ripped off
• The waitresses wasn't doing their job with clearing the tables
• I hate dirty tables and mine kept on piling with food and I had to tell them every time to clear it for me
• The entrainment they had that night was a man who is a amazing singer
• I did not like how I was served or treated because I look young they think they can take advantage of the service because in the end I still had to pay for a bill which cost more than £
• The ambiance in the place is spectacular
• Taking you straight into the heart of Africa with its wooden carvings and stone tribal fixtures
• Springbok and ostrich we were blown away by the flavour
• Springbok was my favourite with crocodile coming in a close second
• The staff were attentive friendly but not smothering which is exactly the kind of service needed in a restaurant
• My advice though get some extra sides with your steak as it literally come s with a hand full of crisps which doesn't fill you up
• The cocktails were light on alcohol but all in all very lovely
• One of the best places I have ever been to
• A lot of African statues and a very massive space with some intimate group seating below

• The rice was also very tasty and went well with the sauce and meat
• The meal overall was very filling and tasty and everyone was happy with what they ordered
• A man's dinning table with all you can think menu
• The drinks are pricey but worth it for once in a while
• The perfect way to have new and old cocktails with great friendly staff and great surroundings
• The truth is I was not as impressed as I thought I'd be
• The most frustrating part of it is that I can't quite pinpoint the reason because
• All the food was a first try for me
• The dishes were well presented (you could tell that effort had gone into preparing them)
• Taste and texture were satisfying and had an ever so slight pinch of mystery
• It felt like I was having a normal meal in a normal restaurant
• Maybe Shaka Zulu is just that a normal restaurant
• The ambience was a beautiful setting
• Even gave me a sense of nostalgia (I was born in Africa)
• So much so that there are escalators inside
• The food is good nothing amazing but lots of variety on the menu and it was good to try something different
• The layout and decor of the restaurant is really unique so it's worth a try for the experience
