Cons- Variety, Décor
The restaurant is a little gem. Highly Recommended!
My family members each have different conception of value and differing tastes. Some like upscale restaurants, others a chain restaurant, while others want to try something new. Somehow we landed on Safari Grill and everybody was very pleased, enough so to repeat it multiple times.
Basically, Safari Grill is African/Indian Cuisine. Dishes consist of 1) meat/vegetables, 2) sauce (generally a curry type) and 3) carbohydrate (naan, rice, cassava). In my party of 9 we tried many things and everything was excellent.
The portions were quite large, enough so, that we were able to make 2.5 lunches from the leftovers. Service was excellent. There were only 7 or so other occupied tables during our visits. Prices range from $13 to $25 with mains averaging around $17
The restaurant itself is on the smaller side and is decorated with a tacky zebra/safari theme. Much like the sun, don't stare directly at the zebra print, or you will suffer eye damage. Otherwise it is inviting and can multitask as a casual/ sophisticated/ romantic/ business dinner type of place.
If you are not a big fan of curry type of food, there are only a few things on the menu for you to eat. One family member had the chicken melt which was said to be good, but not great. All types of vegetable, goat, lamb curries were excellent along with the chicken skewers and cassava fries.
Be cognizant of the spiciness of dishes, 1 (out of 3) peppers was good enough for me.
There are other cheaper places for curries in the city, but I am happy with this place and will return.
