My wife and I ate at Tribes during a recent stay in Johannesburg! We shared pap and chakalaka sauce to start, my wife had chicken skewer and I had ostrich steak, all the meals were absolutely cracking. The chakalaka sauce was fiery and was the perfect accompaniment to the pap. My wives chicken was succulent and cooked perfectly, I had never eaten ostrich before but Tribes won me over with my dish. The plate sizes were large and washed down with a couple of glasses of Sauvignon Blance. The price was very reasonable and our server was very attentive, polite and professional. If you are in this area I would highly recommend a visit to Tribes.

We stayed overnight at Metcourt and got the tip to visit Emperors Palace. We got hooked on Tribes because they had a good supply of game meat. I chose a game platter with 4 different pieces of meat for 390 rand. Very good. Good service and good beer.

A group of 5 of us were staying near the airport for one night prior to being picked up for our safari so we ventured to Emperors Palace for dinner. We all really enjoyed our meal here! Upon walking into the casino it felt just like Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, complete with the cloud-painted ceilings. Everything we had was tasty - amongst the group we had a Game Platter (Ostrich, Kudu, Impala, Warthog), wagyu, boerewors, calamari, oxtail, ribs as well as cocktails and wine. Service was also five stars. Very attentive without being overwhelming. Highly recommend sitting inside for the atmosphere.

My father and husband ordered the peri-peri chicken and they were served rotten chicken. When the manager and chef came to the table the chef admitted she was aware the chicken was rotten. We will not return to Tribes again.

My wife and I visited Tribes tonight for the 7th time, always good food there and is a cozy place. This time we had a waiter who basically refused to leave the table when we paid for food and drinks, it was at 1183 Zar and we didn't feel that this particular waiter was particularly nice. We left only 37 Zar as a tip. The waiter counts the money where we are sitting and tells us that "Here in South Africa you leave at least 10% as a tip", (we come from Sweden) the waiter wanted more tip and the whole situation became very threatening and unpleasant. Finally he took the money and left without a single word. An incredibly rude waiter who has now made us never visit Tribes again. We have traveled around South Africa since 2016, visited probably 150 different restaurants and have never been exposed to rude people, the sad thing now is that this particular waiter/person has created a reservation against everything and everyone we will talk to in the future, in South Africa

We’ve visited this restaurant twice in two weeks for our honeymoon and both experiences were phenomenal. The waiting staff went above and beyond for us, and the food is honestly the best we’ve all had. After the Game Platter, my husband described the evening as one of the best in his life! Truly the best restaurant, the best food, and the best overall time. Everything is reasonably priced and the service we received was of the highest standard. Chef’s kiss!

Tribes has a lovely African feel. The menu offer true South African meat, beef, mutton but some game dishes as well. Prepared to look nice, and taste well. My steak was a little more done than what I ordered, but beside that, no complaints. Had a vegetarian colleague with me. Choices on that part of the venue is very limited.

Maybe a bit touristy and in the mall adjacent to the casinos, but got what I thought must be an African adventure into food in very “rural” surroundings - you felt you were in an African village. Tried the mixed meat dish - Warthog, Ostrich, Kudu and Impala - served as samples. Wasn’t sure what I would get but loved them all. Friendly service, good beers and not expensive by Europe standards. Went back a second time and wasn’t disappointed. To recommend.

As an Italian it was alienating to find myself in this underground place that seems an offshoot of Gardaland. I had very low expectations regarding the restaurants given the extremely tacky context. I must say, however, that this steak house has completely convinced me. I found the meat excellent and also the service. Great prices. So in the end I was completely satisfied with the dinner although contemplating a fake David under a fake sky in a fake square is a surreal experience. At least the meat was real, I hope

Starter - Avocado Ritz disappointment - taste like water downed prawns. Managers excuse is that the cook forgot to add fish spice on it (really??) Mains - calamari was cold..... however honey mustard steak was a winner.....

I really enjoyed my aged sirloin at the Tribes African Grill & Steakhouse. Service was good, efficient, and polite. The wine list was a comprehensive survey of South African wines (I had a complex Syrah). Aging of the steak was spot-on, and it cooked perfectly to medium-rare doneness. Decor was atmospheric. My colleague had the skewered meat selection - I will too the next time I come. Finally, it was easy to get to this restaurant from the airport on the free shuttle to the casino.

We arrived at the hotel late after delayed flight and rushed to the emporium to get dinner. At 9.45pm not much was open but Tribes were very welcoming. Avo and prawn starter was disappointing but rib eye was perfect. Please DO NOT order wine by glass. Wine list is good but expensive but the house red by the glass was undrinkable. Good service with friendly staff.

A carnivores delight. Great service and a huge selection of meats and different cuts. My ribeye was cooked exactly as I liked it. And the accompanying sides, veffies were perfect too. A good wine selection as well made a nice evening indeed.

Walking into the restaurant on a Monday night, I wasn’t expecting much. We ordered the wagyu filet, ostrich and seafood platter. All were absolutely amazing! Best meal so far in South Africa! I didn’t care for the music but the food made up for the ambiance.
