Ordered from them twice via uber eats. Braai platter was delicious. The chicken rooti gastby was a generous portion and so tasty. The chicken burger was also delicious. Their onion rings are crunchy.

The Alhambra Restaurant in the centre of Cape Town is a culinary gem! From the moment you walk in, you are surrounded by a warm and inviting atmosphere. However, it is their exceptional steaks and ribs that truly steal the show. The steaks are cooked to perfection, with a nicely charred outside and a tender, juicy centre that melts in the tongue. Their skilled grilling and seasoning skills deliver an unparalleled flavour experience. And let's not forget about the ribs, which were just delicious! They're so delicate that they virtually fall off the bone with each bite, thanks to a delicious BBQ sauce. Whether you're a die-hard carnivore or not, Alhambra's steak and ribs will definitely convert you. Forgot to mention Strawberry Shake and Orange juice were awesome.

The well presented awesome dishes, drinks and delectable deserts set the tone for a relaxed evening. The staff went out of their way to please all attendees. A beautiful evening was had by all. This venue is highly recommended, all guests expressed that a revisit to the restaurant is on the cards. WELL DONE FAEZ AND TEAM!

Absolutely beautiful place for any event. We were extremely satisfied with food & service. I would recommend Alhambra any day to anyone,do not waste your time searching elsewhere. We had a buffet and everything from ribs, paella down to vegetables and salads and especially desserts were magical. Definitely using them again in future
