Why Travelers Love Restaurant Savanna
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
A bit pricey but very tasty food from South African chef with vegetarian options also available. The portion sizes are not that big, but you can't stop eating Chakalaka nonetheless. 😋 Type: [v] [Eat In] [ ] [Takeaway] [ ] [Delivery] Ambience: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Presentation: 4/5 Value for Money: 3/5 Total Score: 4.4/5 On a small residential side street the outdoors eating is nice. The giant elephant head over the door makes it easy to find. The Halloumi cheese sticks as an appetizer were the highlight of the meal for me. The food was ok otherwise. I got a bison burger which was good but the bacon was quite overcooked on it. A bit pricey for what you get but still glad to have gone and checked it out. I think it is the only South African restaurant in Munich. Unique restaurant serving South African dishes. Also great craft cocktails and after dinner liqueurs and desserts. The Namibian steak is some of the best steak I've ever had.

Loved this place! First time to try South African food and I really enjoyed it! But a bit on the pricy side, which is to be expected for all the exotic food they offer. The food was delicious! However, the reason for one less star is that the portion size is not very big. For me it was the perfect size, but I am not a huge eater. I had the Bobotie, which was a delicious mix of sweet and savory. We also tried the zebra and crocodile meat which tasted unexpectedly very good. But the best one was the Namibian beef filet! As a dessert we had the traditional alcohol shot, it is similiar to baleys. I had the one with a mix of cassis, which was very tasty! I would still recommend this place! The service was superb and the staff was extremely friendly. They explained the whole menu to you, so as a first timer you don't have to be scared of all the names that are unfamilliar. They also have a small lexicon in the beginning.
