Braai - New York

It was a nice place to go with my family. I don't know that it's really authentic South African cuisine. The food was great though. The service was slow, but the servers were nice and recommended wines to go along with your meal of choice.

We decided to try something new while Visiting my daughter . We are glad we did . A very relaxing time. Food was excellent . Staff was attentive Definitely will eat here again

This place deserves rave reviews. Five star service, food, drinks and ambience.

I visited this place with my South African girlfriend on our trip to NYC. She was thrilled to finally eat a restaurant that reminded her of back home . Wow, this place was a disappointed and she was furious and embarrassed at the same time. I kept quiet because I knew there wasn 't much that I could say. We were told that Koeksisters was unavailable for the night as was Boerewors. That 's like going to McDonald 's and them being out of burgers and fries. The food that we did have was decent, at best. The Ostrich Sliders were the bright stars while everything else fell flat. The Slap Chips were perhaps the most amazing and I don 't mean that in the traditional sense; basically it was French Fries...actually it was. If you Google Slap Chips, you will notice them to be thick and meaty and drenched in vinegar. The service was OK. Not exactly warm and friendly but maybe more aloof. The pricing was what you 'd expect in the Theatre District. Oh well. We thought we learned our lesson with South African cuisine and decided to double down and try Madiba in Brooklyn. Heavens me, it was worse believe it or not! They too didn 't have Koeksisters....what are the odds of that? I could see the smoke coming out of my girlfriend 's ears when I bit into pumpkin fritters which were half cooked and half raw. What ensued was a debate as to which restaurant was better or worse. In this duel for last place, we voted Braai as the better place. Sorry Braai, I really did want this to work out well....

Great for pre-show dining. Menu has unique offerings. There was an extensive list of daily specials which I ordered from. My grilled calamari over arugula was excellent. The other guests enjoyed their meals. It would be nice if they had more vegetarian offerings.
