Khoi Khoi Bar And Vino in North Hertfordshire

If you want a great South African braai experience please do not go here!!! The starters were okay, biltong poor and fatty, sausage almost non existent. Children's food over cooked and poor, lamb chops were okay, baby back ribs completely inedible. No Malva pudding. Felt very sorry for the lone waitress who was very nice. Certainly never had a meal like this in South Africa!!!!!!!

Avoid this Place! I booked a table to watch the SA v Ireland game , five days prior ,only to be threatened with police action after the sound was muted while the South African anthem was playing in a South African restaurant placed in a seat with obstructed by people who don’t even know what was going on. The food is mediocre and overpriced ! If a place doesn’t understand it’s clientele is there any point of wasting your money there ?

Mid September on a Saturday. Very delicious. Went for a set lunch and my Mum had a la carte, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely staff and service. South African weather in Letchworth!

In hindsight, it was no surprise that the place wasn't very busy on a Saturday night. Uncomfortably loud music issued from a speaker in a sack near the ceiling throughout and the chairs were a bad fit for the rough wooden tables. The service was poor and slow - one waitress all eyebrows and the other looking petrified. Cutlery was in extremely short supply, seemingly issued on a need to eat basis. The soft drinks were an intriguing combination of expensive, unpalatable and unavailable. The Limpopo wings starter was really good. The lamb chops lacked their essential supporting act. Other dinners were disappointing too. We were still hungry at the end but unwilling to buy desserts as we didn't want to give them any more of our money. They had already cost us an evening that we will never get back. I had heard such good things of Khoi Khoi; which is why we went. When I look at the pictures of past Khoi Khoi dinners on here, I see that they used to do much better food than was available to us. I really think that it used to be better. Perhaps the Khoi Khoi spirit has been broken. I should just have gone sooner. Don't go now, you've missed the sweet spot.

Visited with my wife for pre theatre meal. I had the ribs which were not the best or worse I’ve had. Service from staff excellent and would be enough to try again with something different in the menu.

Had a pleasant experience at Khoi Khoi. I was expecting more south African dishes rather than a lot of burgers, but the food was nice. Would come back.

Great meal, and well prepared with large meat dishes with very good and helpful service. I look forward to a return visit in the near future.

We ordered chicken burger and beef burgers they were OMG amazing as a delivery order to Baldock came within 10 mins and hot, I’m not a burger eater but ordered one absolutely delicious thank u food was delicious

We were there in Letchworth looking for an early dinner and thought Khoi Khoi looked interesting - it was not very busy but we found the food very different and tasty - would recommend the burger - staff were very friendly and attentive and we plan a return visit when it is busier to get a better sense of the atmosphere.

A family celebration for 6 but we were very disappointed. Limited menu and a number of choices were not available similarly with lager and wine even though they were on drinks list. Service was quite good but food presentation left a lot to be desired. The music, entertainment was very good.

Amazing food. It’s was like a blast from the past being a Saffa. Restaurant is so nicely decorated, feels like SA. Service excellent too can’t wait to come again!

Was my 50th birthday party and I love evry minute of it the food the hospitality everything 5 star ❤️❤️❤️

Very disappointed about the service and the food! Ask for cook well done , give me pink meat inside. The waitresses was very unprofessional and was ignoring us , like come on - they have just us! Putting discount on wrong dish!

The food is just amazing! So flavoursome 😋 the staff really welcoming and service is great! The burgers are the best burger around for miles!!!

We visited Khoi Khoi bar with friends wanting to try something different and to support an independent local business.. We’d booked a table and were seated promptly but the waiter started by reeling off a long list of the things they didn’t have - not the best start! For a South African restaurant, there was a distinct lack of decent South African wines on the drinks menu. There was no cider in stock. It’s a modest menu (great because I find huge menus off putting). The sharers we had to start came quickly and we’re really nice, but it then took over an hour before our mains arrived. By this point the wait staff seemed to avoid us and we had to go to the bar to ask for service. The ‘live music’ started at 9:30. Honestly, the guy singing was tone deaf and the music was depressing. It was amusing initially, but then grated really quickly. We left at 9:50 with no dessert - they didn’t have koeksisters anyway! At over £200 including service, Khoi Khoi just didn’t cut it. We won’t be returning.

Having spent three weeks on holiday in America, the home of the hamburger, I returned home and chose Khoi Khoi's 'signature' Indlala Burger during the Burger Specials offer. Not only was it better than ANYTHING tasted in California, it was about half the price! Burger...

We came to see the Dualers perform. I'd booked a table for their last performance here in July and was informed, then, that I could only reserve a table if I was eating beforehand. We walked into an almost empty place so was shocked to...

We arrived at 8.10pm for a booking for 8.15pm and had ordered by 8.30pm due to the limited selection of mains available. It was a birthday dinner for a friend who frequents Khoi Khoi regularly. I had flown in from Australia and they had tickets...

Brilliant service from Melissa tonight very professional and very helpful. Also ryan made amazing cocktails. Will definitely be returning

First timers at Khoi Khoi - we had a great evening. Food was amazing and the whole place is warm and inviting. A really special and different offering on the food and drinks menus. Well worth a visit - we will be back!

Been a regular for drinks for a while but decided to have dinner and wow are we glad we did! The food was absolutely stunning, so flavoursome, cannot wait to go back!

New menu with new kitchen staff. I had the burger with their homemade source and it was absolutely spot on. I highly recommend anyone to swing by for a bite and friendly interaction with the staff and locals 👌

I will admit that my expectations were not really high before I came here. I've been to Letchworth town a few times and the wetherspoons is usually where I go to. Based on that experience I didn't really think of Letchworth as somewhere that would...

Been served some small plates by the the best person.......Melissa........she was perfect ....as was the small plates What Wednesdays should be like .,.....🍀🍀👍

My family and I would highly recommend this restaurant. The menu is genuinely different. The service is attentive and the food is very good and offers the opportunity to try something fresh and new in a very nice setting.

A friend of mine and I were actually on the way to a neighbouring restaurant for a meal. We decided to stop here for a drink first. I am so glad we did! We were made to feel welcome from the off. The guy who...

We popped in just to try it out. We really found the whole experience just so nice. Service was excellent and so was the food. A real example of South African hospitality give us more. We will be back.

Four of us ate out on a Saturday night and pre booked as it gets busy.The place itself had a good atmosphere at first and was busy. Service was not brilliant just a little disorganised we had to go to the bar to get our...

We chose Khoi Khoi for our Friday night takeaway today after our children and their partners ordered from them in the week. Their food looked amazing and there was so much of it! It’s great value for money, the order arrived on time and was...

On a Tuesday night and the restaurant was relatively quiet. Service was very slow. My partner had lamb chops and she was very pleased, I had a sirloin steak which was tougher than a Rhino's hide. Very disappointed. The vegetables were cold. Not inclined to...

We visited on a Saturday evening whilst on a weekend away in the area. My husband is South African so we obviously had to make dinner reservations here! The restaurant is dog friendly which is great and the staff were happy to provide a bowl...

Came on a Friday night and was relatively quiet with a lot of staff working . Myself and my partner waited for around 10/15 minutes before someone came to take our order. The girl serving us was doing her best but look as if she...

Not very impressed with the food here unfortunately. Salsa in the burritos very spicy and one of the wraps was very soggy. Not a very tasty flavour either.

We had booked a table for the birthday girl who is South African. There were a few tables but it wasn't busy. We ordered drinks to start off with but sadly we had to ask twice where are our drinks were after being seated for...

We went to Khoi Khoi for lunch on a Saturday. Lovely chilled atmosphere, great food, excellent service and most importantly, really cold beer! Will definitely come back next time we are in Letchworth.

Not what we expected. Went for a couple drinks then decided to leave for another venue. Not bad price wise

The lunch food was incredible at Khoi Khoi along with great customer service. Thank you! A variety of food to choose from and also veggie and vegan options!

Khoi Khoi bar and Vino brings a welcoming, bespoke atmosphere that gives a relaxing and vibrant feeling similar to what you would get when away on vacation. I enjoyed the food, which was served without a long wait. The staff are also very warm and...

I booked a table for 8 on a Tuesday, a surprise birthday dinner for my wife and I can’t say enough good things about Khoi Khoi. I initially had reservations about this place after reading some of the negative reviews but we are glad we...

Hands down the worst restaurant experience we have ever had. First night of the new menu: chaotic service despite there only being 5 tables dining; took 1 hour to receive our food (and only after complaining); the aubergine burger (£14.50) consisted of a chibatta bun...

The ambience here is perfect! Very cosy with lots of interesting artwork on the walls. I'm sure it would also make a perfect romantic spot if visiting with a partner! Some of the options on the menu weren't available due to problems getting things from...

Our children gave us vouchers for last Xmas for a meal at this restaurant, so we thought we would give it a try. The food was very good as was the ambiance. Could have done with more/better South African wine only rater than say rioja...

A group of 20 of us went for a ‘hen do’. Staff were polite enough although had no knowledge about the food on the menu when we asked & we’re very slow, bringing the meals out one at a time. When food arrived it was...

Been here a few times, food and service have always been amazing. I would highly recommend the steaks, perfectly cooked and great value for money.

We arrived and were impressed with the surroundings. Our order and drinks were taken and drinks came promptly. Starters then arrived 45 mins later. By 10.30, after no communication from staff, there was still no sign of our mains. 3 bottles of wine later and...

Service more like “what service” and that is putting it nicely. Better going over the restaurant opposite who give great service and the food is great. (Turquoise blue Kitchen”

Burgers were great but the pap was under cooked and the chakalaka was served cold? The chicken was very dry and the chips just didn’t taste right… There were lots of items on the menu not available like milktart and koeksusters which was disappointing. I...

I'm torn here because the food was really good, and so it should have been for the price, however the service was terrible. The staff don't seem to have allocated tables and so you are constantly interrupted by different staff asking if you're ready to...

We booked for a family lunch yesterday. Arrived at 12 30 pm. Ordered our food and waited 60 minutes before it arrived. Many items advertised online weren't available including bunnychow, vetkoek, melba pudding,red grapetizer. The waiter then accidentally poured 2 glasses of ice water over...

Booked a table online and received confirmation. Arrived to a totally empty restaurant. As we were being taken to our table we mentioned how quiet it was and the member of staff mumbled that the kitchen was closed and it was drinks only. I queried...

Had food delivered which turned up 10 minutes after ordering which was a bit alarming. Became evident why when the food arrived as chips were cold. The Mac & cheese is literally plain pasta with some cheddar melted into it. The pulled pork you can’t...

Food was delivered earlier than stated which was great. Food was nice and hot. The standard of food was fantastic as always. Absolutely love this place for take out and eat in. Highly recommend.

Firstly the restaurant looks great inside, great tables and seats. Now the food, such a shame as honestly was just average. We Ordered the swordfish, two very small triangles of very dry fish on a bed of yellow rice. A tiny amount of mango coriander...

There is a hanful of restaurants open right now with outside seating. Khoi khoi has followed covid measures with track and track plus social distancing. Good food and lovely staff.

Order arrived just before time, probably the best burger I have ever had! I will definitely have to visit the restaurant. Would happily recommend and visit again.

We ordered via UberEats and the food was delivered fast and arrived hot. The quality of the food was great, tasted really nice and decided to increase my tip. Lovely treat for a lockdown birthday!

Roast beef dinner with extra gravy, side dish of fried pickles and sour cherry gelato for pudding.... it was soo good and the gravy was very tasty too. Highly recommend.

First time here tonight, spent covid19 xmas do with friends... didn't disappoint. Staff, cleanliness, food, the space, they adhere to the pandemic protocoals 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Will be back for sure... really good instagramable cocktails😁 special thanks to Sophie, Gary and Molly for looking after us tonight🧡♥️

Excellent service, excellent food, really enjoyed the evening. Very friendly and welcoming staff. I can't fault them, definitely worth a visit if ever you are in Hertfordshire.

I've been here a few times for drinks. Plenty of choice. I came here for lunch this time with my partner. The portions are very generous and great value as you can see in the pictures. Food is top quality.

Had a takeaway home delivered 2 weeks ago. Option to order via just eat or direct from them(via website or phone) ,great to have choice of options. Ordering online was easy,PayPal,fast delivery. Food is good value and tasty too. They offer 20% discount to nhs...

We didnt need face mask for entry on this day but staff were wearing theres. Everyone enjoyed there food from starters to main courses,halloumi fingers, chicken wings, mac and cheese with oxtail, Taco Mains where, double bacon cheese burger, Chicken burger, rump steak, ostrich steak....

Excellent service and food. I’d have loved some more meat free options. I know it’s braai but it is possible to find alternatives, just a few! I was also disappointed to see a polystyrene take away tray, again in this day and age I’d love...

Wanted to try this place out for a while but hadn’t got around to it. We reserved a table as it was the last day of “eat out to help out”. It want very busy when we got there but that quickly changed. We were...

We visited here on Bank Holiday Monday for the last day of Eat Out to Help Out. We were really impressed with the food, lovely starters and main, great value for money. Fantastic service and the staff are very helpful and friendly. This was our...

Having attended a few weeks ago with my son. The experience was outstanding. Food & service impeccable. Impressed, rather excitedly I subsequently booked a surprise table/evening for my Lady wife in order for her to experience that which i had partaken thereof previously. Sadly it...

Visited for lunch. Food is very nice and high quality. We had the crispy. Squid and bbq chicken wings. We then had the chicken and the halloumi rice bowls. Large selection of drinks to choose from. I think this place will do well as its...

Delicious food, something a bit different and amazing quality. New favourite for us! Tasty beyond words

Visited this bar for lunch today. The food was delicious! As we were pushed for time I prebooked the table and pre ordered the food. Brilliant service! This is deffo my ‘go to’ place from now on.

Booked for 4 during the #eatouttohelpout initiative and was not disappointed. Food great, servers very police and atmosphere good. Shared 4 starters between 4 then got the platter, tacos and burger for our mains. Washed down with wine and beers and the bill was incredibly...

We went for lunch the other day, we arrived at 12 when the restaurant had just opened. There was a member of staff sweeping up outside so we had to wait to be seated. I understand it had just gone 12 but surely this should...

It aggrieves to write this because I want this place to succeed as there is nowhere in the town like it It’s a lovely looking place with a decent vibe. Starters absolutely bang on but the mains arrived and were for the most part, cold....

Finally got a chance to come and visit this South African themed venue. To start the venue was quiet albeit it was early in the day. The service staff are extremely friendly and attentive. Given the current state of affairs the venue is spacious with...

Different? We took our little one for lunch just to get out, don’t get me wrong, the place looks fab! The staff superb.... but having to go to the shop to get your own ketchup isn’t really on is it? Little one for food, ask...

Absolutely loved the roast here, never had gravy like it! Lovely atmosphere and our server Sophie was really welcoming and friendly. Definitely will come here again

Delicious food, great service, very comfortable central location. Super tasty Roast of the day! Very much recommended!

The photo shows the food that I plated up from starters, sharers and mains, just the way I like eating. The food looked stunning and tasted great. The Moroccan goat in particular was sublime, the jollof rice and the lamb kofte were superb also. In...

Visited here for a quick bite for lunch with friends. The decor is shows a personal touch, hand made tables,seating is comfy, friendly staff,good selection of drinks. I ordered a goat tacos, this was exceptional,meat melted in mouth with good salsa ,homemade chips and slaw...

I was lucky enough to have an early taste of the forthcoming lunchtime menu. The Chicken Club bagel, with avocado and bacon which was extremely tasty and good value for money. Well done Khoi Khoi!

Staff are really friendly and all possible safety measures are in place. The food is always amazing with some great variations to try. I would highly recommend a visit!!! Will always be top of my list in the area as I want to work through...

Had lunch out on the terrace area today; food was amazing as always, would definitely recommend. Quality and cooking of ingredients is exceptional and not like anything else you can get locally!

Lockdown takeaway. We had calamari, Garlic prawns, hummus and goat tacos. All really tasty and the best takeout I’ve had in a while. Really hope to visit soon

For obvious reasons, we only got a takeaway but the food was super tasty, good sized portions and the customer service was excellent. Definitely coming back here!

We have just eaten a lovely takeaway meal, (as we are in lockdown still) we ordered with ease a couple of days ago and asked for delivery at 4pm, which arrived bang on time, and still very hot. The meal was delicious, good flavours. We...

We've dined here on three occasions and each time the food has been superb. I particularly enjoyed the Sunday roast (with steak....which worked brilliantly). My wife had a terrific sea bass dish here, and the small plates they do have all been excellent. The squid,...

Great bar with live music, screened sport, numerous selection of ale/larger/wine/spirits and has an all round pleasant atmosphere. This place deserves all its success. Long live the Khoi Khoi

I feel like Khoi Khoi has finally found it's vibe! Bar and Braai....amazing! Incredible food, full of depth and flavours! The staff are amazing and friendly! Tiffany is super helpful and so friendly and welcoming! I feel like I will be here every weekend from...

Have to say the food was amazing... Alot of the time I go to places and end up underwhelmed by the food but this was not the case. With friends we all shared and had the hallumi fries, yakotori chicken and squid for starters and...

Dined several times as part of a group and loved the food. We had different dishes and they were all fantastic. Plentiful with mouth watering flavours. Would definitely recommend this place and the staff provide a first class service !!👏🏽

This bar has recently hired a new chef and he's AMAZING. We shared the ribeye for two and it was possibly the best steak I've ever had (and trust me, I eat a LOT of steak). Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, utterly delicious. Trying to work...

If you’re a vegan or have certain diet requirements then this place has you covered. If you’re a carnivore that’s loves meat they’ve also got you covered there too. Didn’t spot any chicken on the menu though but I went a few weeks back. As...

me and my mum went for some lunch. they have a lot of choices on the menu with a separate sandwich menu. there was also a choice of tapas we could share as we were not very hungry. the menu does not credit how flavoursome...

We had seen the new menu on social media and thought we’d give it a go as it looked great! The food was fantastic and I would 100% go back. Honestly can’t fault it at all. Also some great beers and ciders as well. The...

1st time visiting this venue and had an absolute blast. Had some food before the show started which was amazing and the comedians were hilarious. Brilliant night overall

Delicious food, not run of the mill but inventive and very interesting. The staff are friendly and helpful. Looking forward to attending the upcoming events. We'll be back!

Ate here today for lunch and WOW! Between us we had Korean beef rib, halloumi fries, calamari, short rib beef tacos, frickles and yakitori chicken skewers. Everything was cooked to absolute perfection and the presentation of the food was beautiful. The place is newly opened...

OMG, finally! After years and years of searching and ordering mac and cheese at so many establishments. This place FINALLY delivers perfect mac and cheese. Not gooey microwaved crap. Actual full flavoured, perfectly cooked textured mac n cheese! So anyway, that's my first point! I...
