Reviews For Wandies Place

If you looking for a little bit of history in a beautiful intimate place you found it. By far one of the most historical places I've ever visited. Couldn't believe the world renowned people who have been here. There's currency notes of places I didn't even know exist. The host Wandi is the sweetest old man who tells the most beautiful stories. The food was authenticallly South African. Highly recommend for tourist and locals. Icing on the cake is being able to write your name on the wall amongst the many who have came and gone.

Phenomenal. You haven’t visitied Soweto if you haven’t visited Wandies. Authentic beyond a shred out doubt, the owner still mans the stoves in kitchen after decades at the helm, delivering delicious South African fare, smorgasbord style. A great place for a hearty homestyle meal, traditional home brewed beer, and yarn with the warmly friendly crew who bend over backwards to show you a great time.

You can't go to Joburg and miss this authentic experience in the heart of Soweto. Had such a great day here and great food Don't leave without writing your name or a message on the walls or the ceiling!
