    Went there for an evening - you deffo dont wanna go in ya best clothes - chairs are made in Africa…read more- good for the ppl who made em - but not for your best skirt - get caught on a nails. Car park wasnt good for your best shoes either - suggest jeans trainers and tee shirt. Reading the reviews - it seemed a great place to go - but they are dated 2012 - its now 2019. My friend googled their food cleanse things and was horrified to see zero rated. Summer 2019. ive just checked and its not changed. Go enjoy the garden centre - great plants and stuff.

    I first went to Akamba in April this year. I'd found it online a few weeks earlier, whilst looking…read morefor tribute nights locally, and then a friend mentioned she had a voucher for a meal there, so we gave it a go. Let's be honest, eating dinner at a garden centre usually sounds like the sort of things your parents or grandparents (depending on your age!) would do, however, this little slice of African themed heaven is a far cry from what you'd normal expect of such a place! I've not made it to Africa, though have traveled widely in Asia, and the outside felt totally authentic, being similar to bars and restaurants I've eaten in abroad. Even outside, you are sheltered from the rain, and inside, where the buffet is served, it's warm and cosy, with live music of an evening, and the most amazing spread of food. I've been a number of times since that first dinner, having returned in the day with my dog, as it's dog friendly if you're happy to sit outside - they even bring a bowl of water for our four legged friends! I've had lunch there, and the most fabulous afternoon cream tea, and cake, whilst the choice is limited, what they offer is very tasty (and I'm a fan of cake!) I loved it that much the first night, that I've refused to go there for a meal again, as I'm going for my 40th, which happens to fall on a Thursday, and looking forward to sharing the experience with close friends. The service is always friendly. It's not always super fast, as it runs on Kenyan time, so this isn't the place to go in a rush. Indeed, why would you? It's such a delightful experience that it deserves to be cherished. Oh, and the shop is pretty fab too! So yes, dog friendly, fab food, great shop and friendly service!

    It all started so well, but by the time we paid the bill, we were left with a sour taste in our…read moremouths. We arrived for our 6.30 reservation and were promptly shown to our table by one of the friendliest waitresses ever. She plied us with alcohol and helped recommend tasty menu choices, food which arrived very quickly I might add. We had a feast. The food was very good, with standout dishes like the homemade nachos, (the best I've ever had) and a Xim Xim - Brazilian football legend, Pele's favourite meal (apparently). The meatballs were good, the empanadas were good, everything was good. Until we got the bill. Our whole reason for choosing Bodega was because one of our party is a student and a nurse, and Bodega advertise "20% off your bill for students" and "20% off your bill for NHS", so we figured we stood a pretty good chance of getting 20% off our bill. When the bill turned up we were told several stories as to why we can't use the discount: "Sorry student discount is not available Saturday nights" "NHS discount only covers your meal, everyone else has to pay full price" We checked on the website, we looked at the sign outside, nowhere did it mention these restrictions. "It's in our terms and conditions..." So we asked to see these terms and conditions, surprisingly the manager couldn't show us. Shocker. We finally settled on: "OK, well on this occasion I'll allow the discount on all of the food, but the drinks are going to be full price. That's the best I can do". The bill fiasco meant a meagre tip for our fantastic waitress, a real shame because up until that stage, she'd been superb.

    The food is pretty damn good and the staff are lovely as is the decor. Everything is remarkably…read morewell priced, even cocktails. There were some issues with service when I first went here, but they seem to be ironed out now. Can recommend it.
