What OpenTable Diner doesn't like about Braai:
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. View all feedback. What Wilford Boyer likes about Braai:
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. View all feedback.

My last meal in NYC was such a disappointment mostly because of the terrible service.

This place deserves rave reviews. five star service, eat, drink and ambiente.

Braai restaurant offers a mix of authentic and questionable South African cuisine, with great food options but some inconsistencies in quality. The service is slow but servers are friendly and knowledgeable about wine pairings. Despite disappointing experiences with overcooked seafood and lack of traditional desserts, the restaurant shines in pre-theatre dining and offers unique daily specials. While customer service issues and reservation mishaps have left some patrons feeling let down, others appreciate the diverse menu choices and generous bottomless drink specials. Overall, Braai is worth a visit for those looking for a South African culinary experience in a casual and laid-back atmosphere.
