I visited Gold for the first time for a family evening and what an experience. Being in hospitality, I could sometimes be unnecessary critical, but was completely blown away.
From the moment you set foot through the doors you are greeted with friendly smiling faces with a genuinely warm welcome. You are taken to your table that was reserved for us. We booked in for the drumming session and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. It was quite impressive how one drum leader can get so many people to play the same beat ad with so much enthusiasm. Sore palms and half an hour later, we returned to our seats where we were explained how the evening works.
Very well informed and friendly staff assisted us the whole evening paying attention to the little detail sometimes forgotten when serving tables. Tasting different dishes from around Africa and the environment you find yourself in, with the dancing and singing staff, truly makes you feel that you are in a different world.
What amazed me the most was that they were able to cater for me individually as I have a prawn allergy. Then you know the food is prepared fresh and not just bulked out. Being able to cater to individual needs when cooking on such large scale is definitely something unique in this industry. The Ghanaian peanut chicken was a definite stand out as well as the Algerian ginger and cashew briouats. The only downside was that you can order as much more as you want from your favorite dish as many times as you want, meaning I ended up completely over indulging and having to loosen my belt driving home. Think I picked up 5 kg's
Can't wait to return.
