Key restaurant has a very interesting menu, most items being West African, North African and Mediterranean. My partner and I both started with the Ghanaian beef light soup, which was beautiful, spicey and flavourful. We then had the Beef Palaver Sauce and the goat curry, both of which were delicious, and very different, with wonderful blends of flavours coming through.... More

Excellent background music by a local pianist, interesting very tasty African menu prepared by a lovely African lady Simone who came out to the table to chat, a very nice and appreciated touch. The waiter was extremely friendly and attentive making lunch a pleasant experience. Desserts were excellent. Definetely... More

We visited on a rainy Sunday evening when it was sufficiently miserable outside to have the fire going (in January!). It was a quiet evening so there wasnt much atmosphere. However, the service was very attentive and the owner chef and her husband made every effort to engage with diners, which was a very nice touch. The menu is very... More

We were not disappointed! The food was exceptional - full of flavour! The service was impeccable, and the ambience was beautiful. The panna cotta was so... More

Great ambience setting for a couple's dining experience or a wedding ceremony and reception. The service is attentive but not intrusive. The food and flavour sensations are a must to experience. Simone will cater for a light meal to a real ghana affair of flavours. Have experienced all of this over the past 12 months and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere... More

Deeply flavoursome and generous portions of Lamb Tagine and Beef Kofta for main course were the highlight. A solid wine list and friendly service made up for the Glass House Mountain view lost to the weather. Good value. Will return. More
