Nice place to relax, have a dance listen to music has live DJs. The meat is nice however takes a while to order as 1 person assisting and we waited over an hour for our meat to be served. Lots of young people here.

It's not just a car wash, you can also dine for some braai and chill with your drinks while listening to good music

This is a day-and-night kind of place where you can get a well-served shisa nyama, hooka pipe with 2 prices(190 and 250), and your 6-pack (a little bit more pricey than your kasi/shop price) with a great atmosphere. The service from the bar can be tedious when it is a busy night but overall the service is just average due to limited staff(but then again I came during a pick season). Good place to go chill and enjoy the music.
