Reviews of Kwa Mai Mai Traditional Market

T. O. (.

A variety of food stalls available and vendors, buy and braai as well as alcohol. The service was quick and friendly, with multiple staff on ground ready to assist but the is nothing special. The place offers enough free space on the inside before having to use the shady space outside. The atmosphere is intoxicating though because its people having a good time with their bellies being fed at the same time. It's not the cleanest place upon entering as it is part located under a bridge in Johannesburg. It may come shocking to those who aren't expecting it but there is also the church of Shembe located directly next door to this braai and buy.

The food was not too bad. The meat was nice as well as the chillies. The alcohol is expensive though, and I'm Pedi so I'm not a fan of phuthu

E. G.

Very welcoming and food prepared nicely.......people serving food go an extra mile to meet the customers needs on food. To be more specific, Mr Mpungose Ndumiso, when you have time ask for his table, you wont regret

What a place to be in the city the people there it'd an experience 9f a township life in the city I loved it the meat so fresh and nice 😀 😎 😄 👌🏽

r. h.

Good place only problem it's always full

K. M.

The place is busy for sure. Went there Saturday after work late in the afternoon with colleagues, just to see the famous place and treat the birthday girl who loves meat. There's unity there, it's great to see Africans gathered in one with a great purpose of selling food. This is for the meatlovers.

n. m.

The food is amazing, there's a vibe, I rated it 4 stars because the place is clustered, and it's not easy to move around

Z. C.

I love this place it's a great place to get all ur traditional attires and meds

M. C. T.

I have always heard people talking about this place. When I arrived it was so full outside with most individuals drinking alcohol and playing music. Most people were outside. For the food I'd give it Two stars because our food was served on wooden platters that had pieces of the wood falling off the sides, the food tasted okay, and the hygiene in the area I'd allocate 1 star. I was just glad I got to experience going to kwa Mai Mai.

M. S.

First time there. Thoroughly enjoyed the food. Fairly safe area with car guards (if driving). Staff there to assist. Food was what I expected and more. A must visit when in the area

J. M.

Nathi’s stall is the place to go for high quality and well made Xhosa beadwork accessories.

Day we'll spent, truly! One of Joburg's oldest markets, the Kwa Mai Mai market is also known as Ezinyangeni, or 'the place of healers' and has for decades been one of the city's most established muthi (traditional medicine) markets. Located just a few blocks from the Maboneng Precinct, the market's reputation as a down-to-earth spot to grab traditional South African street food has grown steadily in recent years and positively exploded in 2020.😋🏆

L. M.

Z. M.

Great meat and fun to be around

l. m.

Definitely overrated but the food is great. It is always packed and loud. Finding parking and a table is a mission so always be prepared to struggle with that.

A. G.

The atmosphere is different it brings the 1990s experience we as Zulus we proud of our culture/ tradion, the food, the language it just feels so awsum to be there💃🤸‍♀️💃❤️💯

M. R.

You need to be open minded to eat here, the place was packed, parking was a nightmare. However I would recommend it to people who want to experience the taste of johannesburg, be ready to socialize cause wow its happening here.

M. G.

Nice vibe. Good to go there once in awhile

K. M.

The best place for entertainment and good restaurants.. Nice place to have fun with friends

K. T.

The vibe there is unmatched. The food is great. No security, but its safe. The 4 star is for being overcrowded and not being able to move around. You sometimes get there and not find a spot

L. M.

Best place to eat. Chill. And good music

P. B.

The place is chilled m, diverse and safe. However it gets too crowded and limited parking space.

K. P. M.

For the 1st time in years to feel so safe around Johannesburg. I even managed to park a car and stood under the bridge whilst admiring Izinsizwa.💃💃💃. I'll go there again should my hubby feels like having unfiltered food😜

I. M.

It's OK, went there for skop. The outside is kinda dirty but inside it's OK. I guess the place is not for everyone like every other place

P. M.

They serve really good food at affordable prices and there's always a nice vibe. There's parking available inside. They sell really good traditional attires as well but mostly Zulu traditional attires.

M. g. M.

A wonderful emporium of all things traditionally African. From muti to leopard skin, bead work, you name it. Leave your valuables at home, have your wits about you and preferably travel with a friend or two for safety.

M. S.

Lovely place to hang out with friends for a braai.

N. N.

The place is a vibe. It is alway full. The meat is affordable. You bring your own drinks and you just buy food and chill

Went there to hire some traditional zulu attire, there are many shops to choose from but got these from MaMswane's shop. Very lovely lady, felt like a mother.. Bridal goes for R1000, bridesmaids for R400

D. N.

Rather head there as a crew, surrounding area not safe. Reasonable and variety of food to choose from. Perfect Sunday vibes🤞😎

S. M.

We enjoyed, from class we stayed till late

S. S.

It get very packed, no covid protocols observed. It's safe to park outside as there are guards present. Toilets are locked randomly and cost R2 to use. It can get very hot and you come out smelling like smoke😅

M. L.

Its genuine, what makes it more unique is how patrons serve their clients and it has not changed since it satrted operating many many years ago. It is a place for all to hangout have drinks and braai meat and have some traditional beer with mo hassle.

N. T. M. (.
