 | | | Welcome to Marimba Restaurant |
|
Come to Marimba to experience dining at its most chic. Here you will savour sumptuous cuisine with the gentle pulse of seductive live music to complement and not overpower your dining experience.
See Africa
Marimba’s award winning décor celebrates the African Origin and Global Energy of the Marimba.. Invented in Africa thousands of years ago, the traditional wooden African xylophone – the Marimba- is today found on all seven continents in traditional and modern forms Vibraphones, xylophones and more. Marimba shapes and images are reflected in stone, wood and steel furnishings and décor at Marimba Restaurant and Cigar Bar.
Hear Africa
Marimba has live music on designated nights. The bands include the finest Congolese Mozambique and South African musicians, embellishing your dining experience with sophisticated African and Worlds music offerings. Hear African hits from Kenya to Cape Town, African standards … along with African interpretations of songs from Broadway and the Great American Songbook – always creating a great mood and never overwhelming your culinary enjoyment and conversation.
Taste Africa
Marimba’s culinary delights start with traditional African bread in individual earthenware pots. Marimba’s smiling hosts then give the run-down on the Marimba Feast …an array of communal dishes on each table. Africa’s finest offerings of wild game, succulent beef and poultry, fresh Cape seafood, garden-fresh salads and vegetables, followed by decadent desserts. Every guest finds – in this African medley – something to please their adventurous or more mainstream culinary tastes. Marimba feasts highlight the generous spirit of Africa and our guests eat to their hearts’ content.
Functions and Events
Whilst our Afro-Chic décor, music and cuisine has a unique flavour, we offer the flexibility to host your function or group in a way which will surpass your best expectations, and meet most budgets. Whilst offering direct physical access from the Convention Centre and it’s secure underground parking facilities, Marimba has its own unique décor, music, cuisine and more. Our award winning Afro-Chic look is suitable for most events but we are flexible in tailoring decoration as well as menus and music – to suit your specific event requirements.

"Dear Alan
A big thank you goes out to you and the whole Marimba team for making the Victoria Hospital dinner on 9 December absolutely wonderful.
The staff at Victoria hospital can't stop talking about how much they enjoyed the food and the music, and how great the restaurant looked.
From my side: I want to say thank you to you, Alan, for assisting with all the arrangements and being so willing to accommodate changes on such short notice. Please also thank Mabs for being utterly professional and helpful on Thursday, and Ashley the DJ for providing such a great variety of music that the dance floor was always packed.
The entire Marimba experience was amazing.
Thank you.

The warm welcome and hands on service from you and all your staff was highly noted and appreciated by our Skalleauges. The wonderful ambiance and delicious menu was enjoyed by all

“Hi Alan!
Thanks for your mail and well wishes! Were back from honeymoon and starting to settle in now.
As for feedback, my goodness where to start! Our reception was INCREDIBLE!!! I mean I thought I had a picture of what everything would look and taste like but what your team produced far exceeded our grandest expectations! The venue looked amazing-our guests can't stop raving about it. I'm still getting texts and facebook post saying it was the best wedding ever! Many people stayed way after we left @ around 11:30. Aside from the DJ, I think the general atmosphere of the venue had a lot to do with that.
Though we didn't eat much due to the adrenaline, the food was excellent - we really enjoyed the feast style menu! Your service staff were equally as wonderful- efficient and polite- Titch made sure we were treated like royalty!
After a lovely ceremony, Marimba was definitely a great end to our day of celebrations. We can't thank you enough for helping us bring our dream reception to life.

"Hi Alan
Thank you very much, the evening was a great success!
Everyone had a fantastic time and the food was awesome. The “feast” idea also really went down well with everyone, not having to stand in queues for food was a huge plus and also being able to taste a variety of foods.
A big thank you to Mabs as well, as everything was taken care of well in advance and the evening ran very smoothly!
I received great feedback from all at the event and everyone really had a fabulous time.
Thanks again, we will definitely keep Marimba’s in mind when planning other events in the future.
Kind regards
