    Really loved the service as Alex, our server, was very accommodating with a sense of humor. Food was delicious regardless of what we ate ordered. Beef Boboti was delicious! We will be back for more!

    One of the BEST restaurants in Atlanta. The lamb chops, grilled & seasoned to perfection are a MUST!! The boerewores, prawns, & chicken livers are AWESOME!! Very nice, chic clientele. Great wines.

    Get the sosaties, biltong, and the calamari to start with. Try the boerewors for something different or get the bobotie to play it safe. This is one of Atlanta's best kept secrets!

    Try at least 5 items on the small plates on your first visit. The food is prepared perfectly and the taste is unbelievable awesome. A must try.

    Unique entrees. The smoking section overshadows the great ambiance. Get rid of that and this would be a A+ establishment.

    Calamari, Boerewores Sandwiches, Escargot are fantastic appetizers. Safari & Greek salad are a good choice, and my favorite main course dish is Filet “Au Poivre”. Also try Lava Cake for dessert! Read more

    Atlanta's first South African restaurant and bar is located in Buckhead. South Africa today is a multiracial society and a melting pot of immigrants. The menu at 10 Degrees South reflects this. Read more

    Brilliant South African fare with a portuguese influence. The owners and staff always make their guest feel as if they were in their own home. The bar is lively and they almost always have a guitarist

    Best place to watch your favorite teams battle it out for the World Cup in South Africa! Atlanta's only South African restaurant has amazing tapas, a beautiful patio, and a great selection of wines!

    There’s a basic quality to this cuisine that rings throughout its many varied dishes -- even flourishes such as giant prawns in a spicy tomato sauce with rice seem elementary. Read more
