You choose to live in one of the most beautiful and unique communities in the world. In addition to the natural beauty that surrounds us, Bolinas is so special because of our community, because of the people who live and work here.
Not everyone can afford to buy a home in Bolinas, and many people who have lived here for decades are finding it more and more difficult to remain.
Young families who want to raise their children here are increasingly leaving Bolinas because of lack of housing.
Our workforce, the people who fix your house, garden or work at local businesses are also challenged to find rentals they can afford.
The BCLT recognizes how important diversity is to a community and through a dedicated volunteer board and small staff, we work every day to help create affordable housing for our town.

GREAT NEWS: New roof at
Historic Gas Station Building (click here for more info on Bo-Gas):
Our HUD funded new roof on 6 wharf is happening! Westec Roofing (who also did the Firehouse roof, and is the only roofing company that could comply with the Davis Bacon HUD requirements in the bid process) will commence work tomorrow, Wed. July 31- Friday Aug. 2 and install a new roof on the historic gas station building at 6 Wharf Rd.
This project is completely funded through a grant the BCLT wrote, and we are grateful to have been funded $23,000 by HUD through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, so we did NOT have to do ANY fundraising locally in order to ensure the safety and stewardship of our building. Thank you, Marin County, for awarding us the funds to do this much needed repair, and for paying for it!
We apologize in advance for any inconvenience, but please know that this will ensure the longevity of our property and our ability to provide safe and affordable housing in Bolinas (which is becoming harder and harder to find).
Our tenants have been waiting for a long time for this roof, and I deeply appreciate their patience.
Best, Lesa Kramer
BCLT Executive Director

Let Me Go : In 1941, in Berlin, Helga Schneider's mother abandoned her along with her father and younger brother. Thirty years later - seeing her mother for the first time - Schneider would discover the shocking reason why: Her mother had joined the Nazi SS to become a guard at the concentration camps, including Auschwitz, where she was responsible for untold acts of torture. Let Me Go is Schneider's haunting account of their final meeting, some sixty years after World War II. Her mother at eighty-seven is ailing and still unrepentant. With spellbinding detail Schneider recounts their conversation, evoking a powerful picture of misery of Nazi and postwar Berlin and evoking her inner struggle between a daughter's obligation and the inescapable horror of her mother's deeds. Unforgettable and deeply arresting, Let Me Go will stay with readers long after the last page is turned.

A Quick-and-Dirty Primer on Formula 1 in 2014
- |
- 6:30 am |
- Permalink
Next year's Formula One cars will boast new engines, new aerodynamics, and a new energy recovery system. It's enough to make your head spin at 18,000 rpm. So rather than pore through the rule books or have your friend attempt to explain things between pints, here are two quick videos to get you up to speed.
The first comes from Ferrari, and it's the best explainer we've seen on the engine changes and new energy recovery system (ERS). The big news for 2014 is the switch from a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter V8 to a turbocharged 1.6-liter V6. But just as important is the new ERS setup that doles out twice the power and has 10 times the energy storage — enough to boost output with another 160 electric horsepower for over 30 seconds.
The BBC steps up to discuss the new front wings, nose, chassis height, and rear spoiler, along with changes to the exhaust that will make it trickier to keep cars stuck to the tarmac. It's a lot to unpack — and that's before the teams find microscopic loopholes to give them an edge — but these videos are a good place to start.

If you weren't one of the lucky few who made it out to Park City a few months ago, this past week has been a good time to get a taste of what you missed. Trailers have been arriving for Sundance hits like the Brit Marling starring sci-fi drama "Another Earth," Ben Stiller produced British comedy "Submarine," and the John C. Reilly-starring coming-of-age indie "Terri." Plus The Beastie Boys even released their short film "Fight For Your Right: Revisited" in it's entirety, which had it's debut in January during the festival. The latest trailer to hit the web is for "Our Idiot Brother" (formerly "My Idiot Brother") which got picked up by the Weinstein Co. at the fest and is set for a late summer release.
This one has been high on our must-see list primarily due to a ridiculously stacked cast including Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Rashida Jones, Emily Mortimer, Adam Scott, Steve Coogan and Hugh Dancy among others. Our man at Sundance gave it a B+ and said "If "My Idiot Brother" were just funny people being funny, it would be a far lesser film. But it's about people being people—making mistakes, getting it wrong, trying to put it right" which sounds pretty good to us. While it's not the strongest trailer in the world, it does show off it's impressive cast (as well as Rudd looking like a sideman in Fleet Foxes) and keep our excitement up for the film. The biggest question mark here is director Jesse Peretz whose last film "The Ex" wasted a similarly impressive cast in what looked like a made-for-TV movie. Still, we're trying to remain optimistic that this will be a late Summer surprise. Check out the trailer for yourself below.
"Our Idiot Brother" will hit theaters on August 26th. [via Bleeding Cool]
Stephen M | April 25, 2011 4:30 AM
Well, that video's no longer available.
Leah Zak | April 25, 2011 1:23 AM
Your description of "The Ex" is terribly diplomatic :) It's been a while since I watched the movie, but I do remember thinking the script was great and then being really let down by how broad and uncomfortable the final movie was. This looks somewhat -- not so much dialed down -- but more in tune with a genuine dramedy, so maybe (hopefully!) lesson learned for Peretz?

5 Guantanamo Detainees Ordered Freed
Posted on Nov 21, 2008
In yet another decision that chips away at the Bush administration's withering theory of executive dominance, a federal judge ruled Thursday that the evidence presented against five Algerians—who have been in U.S. custody since 2001—was insufficient, freeing the detainees from the bowels of the prison at Guantanamo.

Next few weeks the biggest of Pirates GM Huntington's career
When Neal Huntington arrived in Pittsburgh in 2007, he had the assignment of rebuilding the Pirates to be a contender on a consistent basis. Huntington traded many popular players, such as Jason Bay, Jack Wilson, Xavier Nady and Nyyer Morgan. He brought back some good players in those deals, with the likes of Jeff Karstens and Joel Hanrahan. He even essentially stole James McDonald from the Dodgers in an exchange for Octavio Dotel. The Pirates sit at 49-39 in leading the wild card race and trail Cincinnati in the NL Central by just one game. Huntington will ultimately be judged by what he does or does not do at the July 31 deadline.

Café Scientifique presentsLITTLE FIREFACES : WHY YOUTUBE LOVES THE SLOW LORIS
Thursday 20 September 7pmTickets free of charge but must be booked in advanceAges 16+
The name Little Fireface comes from the Sudanese name for slow loris, muka geni. Oxford Brookes University's Professor in Primate Conservation Anna Nekaris comes to tell us about her work with this fascinating, but endangered, creature and her campaign to end the trade in it.
You may have seen Professor Nekaris in the stunning BBC documentary about the slow loris in Indonesia. In other languages, loris means thin one, wind monkey (both in Sumatra and Thailand), forest baby, and the shy one.
Oxford Brookes University's Professor in Primate Conservation Anna Nekaris began her studies of the slow loris species in 1994, with her interest in these wonderful beasts kindled in 1992 at a conference called Creatures of the Dark the Nocturnal Prosimians. Since then she has never looked back and has now studied every species of slow and slender loris in the wild. Anna spends much of her time abroad researching and at home working tirelesly with the media to expose the loris's plight, so don't miss a very rare opportunity to hear her in person at Cornerstone.
Cornerstone is brought to you by South Oxfordshire District Council

CATEGORIES Action, Trailer Trash, 20th Century Fox, Games and Game Movies, Trailers and Clips, CinematicalSince I don't know a darned thing about the Hitman video game, all I have to go on (as far as the upcoming movie version is concerned) is this: It was written by the guy who did Swordfish, it stars the very cool Timothy Olyphant, and its first teaser trailer (available exclusively at JoBlo's) is pretty damn slick. Generally your action movie trailers are mega-loud and bombastic mini-movies, brain-pounding sensation crescendos that almost pummel you into submission. (Actually I really love those trailers!)
The Hitman trailer, on the other hand, is quite the quiet and classy affair ... which somehow makes the flick seem just a little more bad-ass. Like I said, I've never played the video game, but I've been a fan of the Olyphant for quite some time (Deadwood rocks!) and I'm psyched to see him land a big-time action hero gig like this one. The director on Hitman is first-timer Frenchman Xavier Gens; his supporting cast includes Olga Kurylenko, Ulrich Thomsen and Dougray Scott. October 12 is when Fox plans to unleash the assassin, and I gotta say ... I'm all of a sudden pretty damn intrigued by this one.
Oh, I never mentioned the plot: It's about a bald hitman who kills a whole lot of bad people. Stylishly.

Great Last-Minute Holiday Gifts and Stocking Stuffers for Filmmakers Under $50 (Or Close to It)
As we approach the end of the holiday season (and the end of the year), there are still plenty of last-minute gifts or great deals specifically for filmmakers. You might have already purchased a Wii U or Xbox 360 for someone in your family (or Playstation 3 if you're still rocking those), but there are plenty of extremely useful gifts for filmmakers that won't cost you an arm or a leg, and they'll probably be put to more use than a video game (though I guess that depends on the specific filmmaker). Read through to check them out. More »
JAG35 at NAB 2012: a $1300 Wireless Follow Focus, Friction Follow Focus, RED Rig, and Slider
JAG35 makes one of the cheapest wireless follow focuses in existence. Now they've improved upon their design and made the entire system much more durable. They also are introducing a clever follow focus that is friction based for newer lenses, but doesn't have to be mounted to the side like many other friction-based follow focuses. I talked with Jehu Garcia from JAG35 and he introduced those products, as well as a custom RED Scarlet/Epic rig and a new slider they are developing. More »

Film Experience has decided (sight unseen) that True Grit gal Hailee Steinfeld has Best Actress potential rather than the usual supporting-actress default accorded to young actresses. Why? In order to include her in their investigation of the youngest Best Actress nominees. Here is their list (winners are in bold):
1. Keisha Castle Hughes, Whale Rider (2003) was 13. (Wow, well would you look at this? Either Jennifer Lawrence or Steinfeld would become #2 if nominated for Best Actress.)
2. Isabelle Adjani, The Story of Adele H (1975) was 20.
3. Keira Knightley, Pride & Prejudice (2005) was 20 going on 21.
4. Ellen Page, Juno (2007) was about to turn 21.
5. Marlee Matlin, Children of a Lesser God (1986) was 21 (She's the youngest winner of all time in this category.)
6. Elizabeth Hartman, A Patch of Blue (1965) was 22.
7. Kate Winslet, Titanic (1997) was 22 and 4 months.
8. Janet Gaynor, Seventh Heaven/Sunrise/Street Angel (1927/1928) was just a few days older than Winslet.
9. Leslie Caron, Lili (1953) was 22½
10. TIE! Julia Roberts, Pretty Woman(1990) and Winona Ryder, Little Women (1994). They were both 23 years and 108 days old when they were nominated. And here's another twin moment: it was the second nomination for both as they'd been previously honored in Best Supporting Actress.
Without having seen the movie, Sasha Stone considers the above list and believes it's possible that Lawrence "could win the whole thing" because "hers is the only truly selfless and heroic contender in the pack. Sure, there are other factors and other contenders – there is Natalie Portman (who may end the year with the most lauded performance) and there is beloved Annette Bening. I don't think Lawrence is in the same position that Carey Mulligan was last year because Mulligan, though lovable indeed, was not caring for her younger siblings, her sick mother, trying to save their home — all the while delivering a spectacular performance. She's a big threat. Make no mistake about that."
Keil Shults | October 29, 2010 2:47 AM
It's not that once actresses get older they're offered less juicy roles, but rather that they all go to Meryl Streep.
Brian | October 28, 2010 9:16 AM
Who are the youngest actresses to save their studios from bankruptcy?
Shirley Temple at six - BRIGHT EYES (1934, Fox)
Deanna Durbin at 14 - THREE SMART GIRLS (1936, Universal)
Both got honorary Oscars, but poor Deanna had to share hers with Mickey Rooney (ugh!).
The Pope | October 28, 2010 8:40 AM
Just out of curiosity, do you have any data for the male lead category? It has always been my contention that the Academy (like studio execs, producers, directors and casting directors) skews younger for actresses than actors. A pity because most actresses (if anyone were to care to pay attention), get more interesting and hence, more gifted as they get older (actors too). But once the actress wins, or is even nominated, it is almost as if the Academy et al say [and almost in the Biblical sense] we know thee..
How many winning actresses have gone on to do be afforded better work once they win? A few. Very, very, very few. Actors on the other hand... well, they seem to get action franchises!

News: Diddy Fumbles W/ New Album Strategy, "I've Just Been Dealing W/ Certain Frustrations" [Video]
Sunday, Aug 2, 2009 10:00AM
Diddy recently spoke on his issues with the forthcoming Last Train to Paris album and why he will look to up his marketing strategy by moving beyond radio play.
Admitting the current emphasis by record labels and radio stations should be changed, Puff explained what he had in store on the promotion side of his new album.
"I've just been dealing with certain frustations with the way a record company, even myself, has been programed to roll out a record," Puff said in his video blog. "I'm excited to do some exciting and innovative things with the roll-out of this Last Train to Paris and I want you guys to be receptive to it. I wanna roll-out some singles, some videos, some visual representations that's not about radio play, that's not about sales, that's not about if you think it's a hit record you can hear it 30 or 40 times. It's about a feeling, it's about a sound, it's about a movement, it's about a style." (Diddy's Blog)
In addition to revealing there is no set date last month, Puff previously explained the overall feel for the new project.
"We just vibin' and making music, having a good time," he said in an interview. "The album is gonna be something different for me, and I don't have to support it by myself...The train is coming...It's coming, it's coming. Right now, it's like Jay-Z time and Drake time. Enjoy those guys. But the train is coming. Get your ticket. You don't want to be left out." (MTV)
The Bad Boy CEO previously launched an interactive website using concepts from the album to help promote the project.
Diddy's created this high concept teaser site at LastTrainToParis.com which at the moment just contains links to his other sites and a mock train ticket where you can fill out your info. Our sources state an update for the site will be made in the coming month. Links include Diddy.com, Diddy's YouTube page, SeanJohn.com, Ciroc, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other Diddy-based sites. (Woooha)
The album was originally slated for a fall release.
"It's deeper than any of the other stuff I have ever made," Diddy said in an interview earlier this year. "Last Train to Paris comes out in September...T-Pain gave me permission to use the vocoder, the autotune, and he showed me various tricks that nobody knows but him and myself." (All Headline News)
A release date for Last Train to Paris has not yet been announced.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KTIV) - Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman, Attorney General proposed a prison reform measure that would eliminate automatic "good time" credit for violent offenders.
Senator Scott Lautenbaugh of Omaha will sponsor the proposal that will be submitted to lawmakers during this legislative session.
The measure would apply to inmates of violent crimes, including murder, kidnapping and sexual assault.
Right now, the state's "good time" law automatically cuts the sentence in half when they enter the prison.
The new proposal would require inmates to maintain good behavior and participate in rehabilitation programs.

Rather than loud music in the after party I'd been expecting there was a porky man dragging a sheep down the road.

Slowly, it transpired that this urbanite sheep was not just fond of city living but had ...

Tennessee universities will let former community college students "reverse transfer" university credits to complete an associate degree, reports The Tennessean.
"It's all about advancing the numbers of people with post-secondary credentials, and this is an approach that allows us to do that," University of Tennessee System President Joe DiPietro said.
State officials say two-year degrees are valuable in the pursuit of jobs — and a "fail-safe" for those who don't ultimately earn a bachelor's degree.
Community colleges would get to count reverse-transfer graduates in their figures. Because a revamped funding formula rewards colleges for higher graduation rates, the program would help two-year institutions financially.
Many community college students transfer before they complete a two-year degree.

This is an interesting approach that recognizes the reality of today's college students, many of whom are collecting their college credits a la carte. I have many students who may take online courses at one school, face-to-face classes at another during the semester, and summer school or intersession classes at still another. I especially agree with the last line: many students only come to the community college with the intention of taking their first year courses; then transferring to another school.
All of which makes me wonder even more about the proposed plan to rate and rank colleges based partly on graduation rates. How can that metric be fairly applied when students, as consumers, are choosing such a wide range of options?

No police cuts for now — but 'tier two' option has some concerned

If the police want to avoid cuts, they could simply reduce the pay RAISES they are getting. In an economy where taxpayers are losing their jobs, the police continue to get pay raises and have incredible health and retiree benefits.
The police have an important role - and they generally do a good job. But pay (including overtime) and benefits have gotten to be too much compared with the private sector.
Layoffs are bad for officers and bad for the community. While it makes sense to have some pay and benefit cuts, even that may not be possible. But the police should step-up to share the pain of the entire country and simply agree to NO INCREASE in pay or benefits for the next 2 years.
That would solve much of the budget problem, let people keep their jobs and their current pay, and keep service to the Mountain View.

We don't really need them. All we need is the capacity to defend ourselves. They have convinced you that self-defense is somehow evil or dangerous. It is neither.

Is there a way, from the midlet to reset:
1- The SE?
2- The ME?
If yes, any example or any idea on how?
Thanks in advance,

Thanks in advance,
HEy Ebross wat is ME & SE, i dont get short forms. can u tell me.
Hey thats why i was confused why i didnt heard those terms, well now i know cause i havent wrk on java card, any ways hope some one might give u answer.
take care
Moved to (likely) better forum for this question
Hi Hartty,
I realised that there was an NFC subject on forum after I send the thread.
I suppose that there is no way to do a reset on the Secure Element or in the Handset from the midlet?
Or does the SE do a reset each time is wake up by a magnetic filed?
What do you mean by reset the secure element?
Hi phoenix,
By reseting the SE I mean a reinitialization of the SE. The SE being an Java card, it should have the back up features. For example, if we download/install an application to the SE by OTA using a midlet as a bridge, and something goes wrong (lost communication, etc) the only way in the java card to do a roll back (state as it was before the download) is by doing a reset. I was wondering if there is a way to do something similar via the midlet.
I've not done much with javacards, so don't know about that ... however as the SE is to javacard specs, however you do it with a real card you should be able to do the same with the SE.
Thanks phoenix. I'll try, i will send an APDU cmd (ATR) to the SE via the midlet and see what happens.
What I just wrotte has no sense...
I am using a Nokia 6131 NFC, and I am trying to understand when does the SE boots
Is there a way to know the ATR send by the SE? (by default it should send one at every reboot)
Is there a way to force a reset to the SE, another way of turning off handset?
It is possible (and I believe the default state) to be prompted whenever the secure element is to be activated. If you move the phone to a powered cardreader (regardless of what the reader may try and do) you should be prompted to enable to SE for 60 seconds.
I presume that at this point, the SE will be 'booted'. Removing and replacing the phone during this 60 seconds does not reprompt so the SE is still powered.
If the midlet trys to access the SE the same enable SE prompt is presented, so I guess that it is booted up at this point as well rather than being in a predefined state.
Thank you phoenix for your prompted answer
Just in case, do you know any reference concerning this?
Best regards,
All of the above is based on experience ... but look at the wiki, and the other downloadable docs from forum nokia site.

Associated Press
BERWYN — — BERWYN (AP) — Gov. Pat Quinn spent part of Christmas Day having lunch with U.S. service members who weren't able to be with their loved ones.
"These heroes have given us the greatest gift of all in the sacrifices they make for us every day, not the least of which is being apart from family for the holidays," Quinn said in a statement on Wednesday.
More than 100 service members from Naval Station Great Lakes attended the lunch in the Chicago suburb of Berwyn, which has hosted the event for eight years. Local charities and the Veterans of Foreign Wars supported the event.
Veterans' issues have been one of Quinn's priorities over the years.
Last week the governor paid a visit to wounded military men and women from Illinois who were getting treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland. While there, he delivered cards made by Illinois children. It was a departure from his usual Christmastime trip to visit U.S. service members in Germany. Quinn has said there aren't as many U.S. soldiers there as there once were.
"On Christmas Day — and every day — let's keep our service members and veterans in our hearts," he said in a statement.

Due to my internet being out for a few days, I'm a bit late posting this cover rereveal, but I still wanted to share it with all y'all. So without ado, here is the cover for Whisper by Chelsea M. Cameron:
People think I'm crazy. Maybe I am, since I've been able to talk to spirits for as long as I can remember. They are the forgotten, the souls who have unfinished business and can't cross over. I help them, or at least I try to. There's this one in particular, Jack, I call him, who's been following me around a lot. Usually they tell me what they need to do and move on. Not him.
It isn't until he brings another spirit, Tracy, the victim of an unsolved hit-and-run accident, that I know for sure he's something more than just your average spirit. Then I start seeing him. And feeling his touch. And falling for him.
In our quest to get justice for Tracy and help her move on, Jack and I become something more than just a dead boy and a living girl. I'm just waiting to see what happens next…

Woman Given Refund After Uncomfortable Flight With Obese Passenger
Oct 28th 2010 11:47AM Part of the problem people seem to be missing is over the years the airlines have shrunk the seats down so they can cram more passengers on a flight. One fellow said he was 6 ft and 200lbs and always bought two seats. He shouldn't need to do that but I understand why he does. If you're not 5"2" and 100 lbs things may be a bit tight. If you ever want to take a really uncomfortably crowded flight try a Japanese in-country flight. I never knew they could get so many bodies on a plane!

Many Thanks to all of you who have already placed orders for SB#3.
The first batch to faithful subscribers has already gone out, but GI is now motoring at high velocity somewhere in Germany heading towards the Italian Alps in a flash new £100,000 Audi. No he didn't nick it, it falls under his 'day job' title. But this does mean the next mail-out wont be until Thursday. I'm holed up in Holland and haven't even seen a copy either. Sorry for the delay. Please sit tight.
The new T-shirt designs are at the printers too.
(I doubt very much if GI will be listening to Kraftwerk on the quad surround-sound. He's more likely to have the windows open and King Kahn cranked up)

Surprisingly good food and helpful staff. Very friendly workers who enjoy their work!
Took my wife out for the T-Bone Thursday.
got a large T-Bone with chips and salad, accompanied by makhulu beans and pepper sauce. all served on a skillet on wooden block.
Fantastic value at £12, good portion, well cooked, well presented
It's going to be on my regular list from now on
Had a fabulous meal, in a pleasant environment with excellent, friendly service. Downside was a sticky table which had obviously been wiped but not cleaned. Would definitely return.
Great Burger! Flame grilled.
Went for tonights special, ribs & wings, for my son who is visiting us. Menu is excellent, smells and atmosphere wonderful. Lovely friendly staff, no problems , fast efficient service, and the food was fantastic as always.
I go there regularly at least once a month and have never had a problem with either the food or the service.
Hate to point it out but after a gin and tonic you can't even tatse the food. ask any decent chef, besides which the only thing you should drink with a braai is beer, man.
Don't spoil a real south african experience because its not plastic wrapped like all the other european restuarants.
Its unique, its an experience, chill out and enjoy.
me and my husband went for our anniversary and were really let down it took an hour inbetween courses and the food came out cold
Excellent food, great service. You need to try the exotic foods like springbok or ostrich. I can not stress how good these steaks are, make beef seem tasteless!! staff are very helpful and quick, i know it took a while for this place to get on its feet (i went the 1st week this was open and the reviews at that time were quite bad but i can assure you that now it has found its feet the food is fantastic and 100% worth going to)
The one thing that really puts me off this place is those daft characters!!! for people that haven't been before, this place is trying to be kid friendly and has 3 characters that come in every so often. A member of staff dresses up as a lion, monkey or zebra and comes round the tables for photos for their facebook page. This seems to happen every 45mins or so as it came round twice within a meal sitting the last time I was there.
Now I have no problem with a place trying to get kids excited about coming to their establishment but they need to pick their audience, when a couple is sitting down to eat their meal the last thing they want is to be interrupted by a guy dressed as a monkey tapping you on the shoulder like you are a 5year old!! I have left many comment cards about this. My recommendation would be that they stick to tables with kids on them or at the very least don't go to a table while they are eating – just plain rude.
The food is that good that the characters don't put me off – I still go…often
we had a brilliant time. We were so looked after and i had my birhtday there and got lovely icecream and a £10 voucher.
Thank you to all staff for making us have a wonderfuly afternoon, with mum and dad in late 70s and 80 years of age. go go the castle beers too. thank you. going to bring the hubby next time.
My husband and I decided to try somewhere different for lunch so opted for Makhulu 5. We ordered from the early bird menu (2 courses for £9.95) I had the calamari and chicken basket and my husband had the 1/4 rack of ribs and the beef burger. Neither of us could find fault with the food, it tasted great, the portion sizes were good and it was great value for the money.
The service was great, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The decor and cleanliness was excellent. We will definitely be returning.
We went here a few Friday nights ok and it was not our first choice as I had read mixed reviews but Makhulu have reacted positively to the feedback as the service was superb, the food was perfect and the atmosphere very friendly and welcoming. The first thing we were asked was had we been here before so this quickly tells the server how much attention their customers need. Very important! Steaks were good and the menu had plenty of different things on it. I would like to see the staff explain more about the different south african food on the menu and maybe even have a few free appetisers when you come in like biltong etc
All in all a great service and night however I did find out afterwards that they actually have a room in the restaurant that lets you experience the actual heat and humidity of Africa? No one told us that!
Great sunday evening . Zebra brilliant !. Young Cameron loved him. Staff extremely friendly and helpfull. Will recommend it to friends. Thankyou
I went with 10 family members for a child's birthday meal. I have seen poor reviews for this restaurant and I say that they are totally unfair (or the restaurant have listened and recitifed). The staff went beyond anything I would have expected in terms of service.From the moment we arrived they were attentive without being overpowering, unrushed, great with the kids, dressed up as a zebra to present the birthday cake and even presented the child with a voucher for a return visit. The food was excellent, tasty, hot, authentic (I have been to Mombasa!), and value for money. It may have been because it was a Monday and quiet, but based on our experience last night, I would thoroughly recommend it, especially to families and I am looking forward to returning very soon.
Just one thing…this is such a gem, why is it so unknown amongst the locals?
Myself, and 11 friends went here on Saturday for a pre-stag do meal. We booked a table at about 2PM for 5:30, arrived in groups of 4 over the course of about 10 or 15 minutes with absolutely no hassle whatsoever.
The waiter was extremely polite, attentive and prompt. We were each given our menus as well as their "experimental" menu, which they said given enough good reviews would be added to their main menu. Everything sounded good, even the Calamari (squid) and shark fillet.
The prices ranged from £5.95 for peri-peri chicken, to just under £24 for an 8oz ostrich fillet (I think). The atmosphere was great, music wasn't too loud, decor, cleanliness etc. were all fine.
I especially loved the authentic Zulu spears and shields hanging on the wall, as well as the open kitchen. Every so often you'd get a different, pleasant smell as well, from the wood-fire BBQ to grilled seafood, to steak. Just made me even hungrier while I waited.
And just was we were leaving, a guy in a zebra costume came out to pose with the kids and families, with a waitress taking pictures to upload onto their Facebook page. Not my kinda thing, but it's good to see they make an effort for most/all age ranges.
5*, I'll definitely be returning the next time I'm in Bangor.
Went for a family meal to Makhulu 5. The fire was brilliant and there was a good atmosphere about the place. The restaurant seemed pretty clean and the menu had a good choice of meals. Although there needs to be some more meals to choose from, it is a new restaurant and is still improving. The waiters were friendly, the service was pretty quick (although there weren't many people there at the time) and the food tasted good, especially the rib rack. Overall, I would recommend it and it isn't overly expensive (We had an early bird menu which was £9.95 for 2 courses per person).
Liked the food, service ok, if I had kids I would definately bring them here.
Poor poor service!!
Menu really over priced for the quality of the food!
I had a bad time here before but thought I would give it another ago as every where can have bad days but two in a row!! It's just bad service bad food!
All you can eat ribs on a Sunday sounds good but when you have to sit and wait for each half rack fir 10 min it just becomes a joke!
Advice to anyone thinking of eating here AVOID!!
Went into this place for breakfast, my son and I were the only customers. Ordered Ulster fries, absolutely rank. There is no words to explain how bad it was. We had waited half hour for it to be cooked, burnt on one side, raw on other. Dont know what was meant to be scrambled egg on my plate,was grey in colour. I decide to return whole meal untouched, it looked disgusting. Manager said she had tasted it in kitchen and i did have a couple of valid points, however thought I was a bit over the top because I sais it was disgusting. Have been here once before for tea n it was ok. My family eat out every week, this is the worse I have ever seen, could not believe that anyone could serve this. NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN.
I went to this restaurant twice. The week it opened and a bout a month later.
Both times were awful!! The services was the worst we have ever received… The first time we booked table for a friends birthday, we were looked at like we had four heads when we arrived because a couple of guests were not going to make it. We waited 45 minutes before getting a menu, which we had to ask for. They didn't have enough menus, when customers arrived after us and were given menus we complained, these were then taken from these customers to give to us, we waited a further 1hour 15 minutes for our food, which was very poor, steaks ordered medium, were well over done! and Not receiving our sides.
We give them the benefit of the doubt that this was because it was just new, my partner and I took our son along one afternoon because it was quiet, but this time the service was worse.
We waited 45 minutes for our food, there was only 1 other table with customers and they were already eating.
I asked for gravy mash and got chips, my partner got a salad but didn't get any sauce, I asked for my steak to still be pink inside but again got a well over done steak..
Trying to get waiters attention was a complete nightmare!! It was as if they were avoiding eye contact.
What we felt was really unacceptable was waiters gathering round a table at the back chatting and laughing very loudly, this made us feel that we shouldn't of being there!
Not being asked if everything is OK or if you would like an other drink or when they see you haven't touched the food asking if there was a problem with your order. This is not asking for too much in a restaurant when you are paying them good money to have an acceptable standard of service.
1st thoughts on entry were wow looks great, things soon went downhill, drinks ordered gin and tonic - no tonic gin and cranberry - no cranberry. Waiter said sorry busy Friday night. Settled for another drink. Food order starter ordered fish cakes, no fish cakes, so ordered king prawns, ordered chicken burger on ciabatta, sorry no ciabatta. King prawns arrived but actually langoustines and they were still frozen, not good unless you fancy a week in hospital.fortunately we realised and sent them
back. Chicken burger came and would have had a better one in mc donalds next door, it was a breast that had been sliced in half and flatened to looked bigger and luke warm chips. Two bits of raw onion, one slice of tomato and an ice burg lettuce leaf. Oh and a mini splash of sauce.When we asked for hot chips we were told the owner says the chips are straight out of the fryer. I'm no chef but know the difference between a hot and cold chip!the waiter worked hard to appease the situation but the owner did not come over to apologise even after the issues were pointed out, he just looked over and gave the impression he wasn't bothered. Absolutely awful won't be going back!
Another visit. Another great meal. Got the ribs then malva pudding for dessert. Friendly staff, prompt service.
Friendly and attentive staff, give you good time to read the menu and are very helpful and are still quick enough that you arent waiting and looking around for them.
Great decor in the restaurant and the atmosphere is better than anywhere ive been before, the mascots are a great idea for the children and they always give u a giggle!
The food is absolutely brilliant, ive enjoyed everything and ive been about 8 times now ordering different things each time! I had a burger and it was by far the best ive ever had, would also recommend ostrich, the ribs (best ever), the zulu wings, seafood chowder and of course the steaks. The desserts are also great and i look forward to the new menu coming out!
Took some south african friends and family there for a treat. They have raved about it ever since, Just like home. One of them is bringing his mum and aunty when they arrive over for a holiday next month.
A truly outstanding experience. Relaxed atmosphere excellent service and great south african food. According to jacobus the Malva pudding is just like home.
Staff couldnt have been friendlier , and the food terrific, (AS ALWAYS)
Great job people and lets keep it just the way it is.
bad bad establishment.
poor quality and presentation of food.
tacky fancy dress animals.
atmosphere ruined and cheapened by loud music and tv's
this place needs to go back to basics - good food, good service and good atmosphere is what is needed (it needs to be classier)
don't waste your money here there are much better places to eat in Bangor!
Visited Makhulu on Saturday night with another couple, we were impressed as we had heard very little from anyone as to its ratings. The staff were very attentive and polite, although still learning the menu, but their service was good. The restaurants was very busy with lots of families and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The staff kept the tables clean and were quick to clear after the meal. We loved the Zulu fire and the fact that the cooks were on display and had head covering (not like so many celebrity chefs). Our food order had one error on the starter which was corrected quickly and the mains of four steaks cooked to different tastes were just as ordered. We only had two complaints, we were seated below speakers and the music becomes quite loud and annoying after a time. There were 5 birthdays that evening during our meal when the music was switched off, lights dimmed and the 'animal' delivered the cake, complete with firework and singing to the birthday person. This was lovely the first couple of times when it was for a child, but the following times were for adults and the novelty had worn off for us. I would recommend the restaurant for a change and feel its great for families.
cold food slow service, could be a good night out but really need to sort things out first, and large animals walking around is not the way to do it. wont be back until standards go way up!
one plus is the place is clean and tidy good job on that
My daughter and I were hoping to enjoy a lovely little girlie night out for dinner and chose here on a whim. We were promptly shown to a booth by a friendly waiter who proceeded to ask if we had been to the restaurant before. Since it was our first visit he explained the concept, took our drinks order and left us with the menus. He eventually returned to take our food order, my daughter ordered a steak and I ordered the vegetarian bean burger which came with goats cheese and red onion. Our drinks eventually arrived and the food arrived after a reasonable passing of time. My daughter tucked into hers declaring the mushroom sauce to be lovely and I proceeded to sample mine. After the first mouthful I became curious as to the lack of goats cheese flavour and no sign of a bean burger. I had a hoke round under the mountain of rough cut lettuce and three huge rings of raw white onion in the hope I would find it but was disappointed to discover I had in fact been given a flat mushroom topped with fried red pepper and mozzarella cheese! I pondered a while if I had in fact missed a second veggie burger option and when our waiter returned and asked if everything was okay I explained that it wasn't and asked if I may have another look at the menu as my burger didn't seem to be the one I ordered. He seemed surprised and pointed out that I had ordered a vegetarian burger and that was indeed what I had been served. I pointed out that while it was indeed a vegetarian burger it was NOT the one listed on their menu. He said he would be back in a moment and scampered off. I waited for ages and watched while he served other tables, cleared other tables and took payment from other tables and then as if by magic a small, rather menacing, expressionless man appeared at the end of my table, complete with clip board and head set. He ask if I had a problem and I explained. He informed me that the bean burger had been removed from the menu because the chef wasn't happy with how they were turning out and had replaced it with the dish I had been served. I explained that while I was enjoying the food it was not what I had ordered or had been looking forward to eating. I also pointed out that I didn't think it was worth the same money as the one on the menu, he mumbled that he would sort something out and left.
Our waiter returned eventually and apologised for the mix up and then started to tell me that the menu was changing the following week and he hadn't realised the meal I had ordered had been changed. I told him that the manager had already told me the chef had removed it from the menu and suggested that perhaps the staff should be informed of these changes before they take customer orders. We were offered a sweet menu but after seeing a few dessert plates going past I really didn't think they were worth £5 each. I asked for the bill which took ages to arrive, the waiter returned again and apologised for the wait but apparently the manager had to do it as he was discounting the bill, he almost begged us to not let this experience put us off returning, 'please please please come back some time'. I actually thought the discount would be worth waiting for, the bill came to approximately £23.80 and he knocked £3.40 off leaving a balance of £20.40! Go figure!
The TV above my head was awful and really ruined what should be a social time.
Staff friendly and helpful… the waiter was but almost too much so… Environment… African style surroundings pity about the awful 'wanna be' African music. Timon & Pumba singing Hakuna Matata and Paul Simon I would not really class as the traditional sound of Africa.
Would I return… probably not. Was it value for money… no. Is my review rude and immature… no it's just the plain simple truth!
Best part of the night… McDonald's drive thru and our McFlurrys.
i recently went to Makulu 5 for dinner with my family and the whole experience was pretty dire. from them not being able to provide half the dishes on the menu to the cold and smoky environment you are served in, staff were nice and service was ok despite the food being cold and really not of a high standard. as a South African i was very keen to try the restaurant out and was bitterly disappointed, friends told me of the first South African restaurant to open in Bangor called Phezulu and this was much more to my taste and in a better location, although the food was quite slow to come out it was well worth the wait and the service here was excellent. a great restaurant in a prime location, try it out. Its Phezulu, Main Street Bangor.
Went with my teenagers and really enjoyed it. The food was excellent with a good choice for all, my son NEEDS to go again because he couldnt decide between 2 meals. The staff were very attentive but not too much. Will definately be returning.
Really loved it here. Food was delicious, staff were friendly and the decor was superb.
The south african steamed pudding dessert with ice cream is worth going back for alone.
I visited Makhulu with my wife and 2 teenage nephews for lunch on Sunday, 16/01. Having spent some 17 years living in SA I was very curious about the restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised that it managed to recreate an atmosphere I hadn't experienced since my last visit to SA. The surroundings were very relaxing, the food good with ample helpings for the teenagers, who also enjoyed the food more than I had expected. The service was excellent, with just enough attention without being "crowded". On the debit side was the SA radio station playing pop music loudly (we were very close to the speakers) and it would have been better to hear real African music or even recordings of the African bush. Also, it was disappointing that several of the main courses weren't available - springbok, ostrich, surf 'n turf. However, the food we had was very enjoyable, especially the burgers and the spare ribs. Don't be misled by the adverse reviews for Makhulu. It's well worth trying and I will certainly be trying it again in the near future.
From the moment we entered we were met by a very friendly and welcoming waiter who served us for our entire meal. He explained the whole concept of the restaurant, the cooking process (the s.african b.b.q) and dishes. My husband and I were there with our 2 children 11 & 9 and they were served with exactly the same attention and dedication as we were. My son who was fascinated by the shark steak was offered a taster - this was cooked specially and brought down to our table( huge portion by the way for just a sample) However the fun really started when the zebra, gorilla and lion entered the restaurant….....what a hit!! the children compared it to being on holiday and is now definately their favourite restaurant EVER!!! Honestly just go and enjoy something different in Bangor with great food,, spotless facilities, excellent service and fabulous atmosphere. Cant finish this without mentioning said waiter,... Thank You Aarron.!!
was there tonight for the 5th time. Cannot understand the complaints. Service excellent Staff friendly, helpful. Place spotless as usual. Tried the special menu rather than main menu.
The Zulu fire wings were great, that sauce is lethal. Good portion of wings. my wife had the Mushrooms they were excellent, again a good portion. main course was the ham hock with apple sauce and mash. What can I say, I had sunday lunch for three in front of me. Meat fell of the bone, crispy on outside sweet and juicy in the centre, just as it should be. Mash and gravy again excellent. all food hot and well presented. My wife tried the Burger and chips, again excellent , large portion Price £9.95 per person. unbeatable value. only minor complaint staff slightly overattentive, but they are trying their best. restuarant wasn not particularly warm but not cold, probably due to the fact that it was -1C outside.
Recommend it… I have been doing nothing else for months.
To all the staff and owners - ignore the idiots, listen to the comments of those of us who eat out regularly and review restuarants properly. Keep it up you are doing great.
Went to sample the brunch menu - very friendly service, albeit a bit on the slow side (wasn't particularly busy, either), very friendly staff who went out of their way to keep our 2-year-old amused (including a visit by Zibi the Zebra!) - and to top it off, the food was good too, with the brunch portions being surprisingly good for the price. Will be heading back to try the evening menu when we get the chance.
I have been to Makhulu5 before and had a great experience. this prompted me to go back as I thought it could only get better now that they had found their feet. I'm sorry to say this was not the case. All of the waiting staff have changed. The new staff are not as knowledgeable about the menu/bar menu and I was told a complete lie by my waitress with regards to the Springbok….. just so she could go and clear another table as there was a waiter pushing her to do so. I believe he must be a new manager but seems very pushy to me. The staff just don't seem to care as much and clearly have no rapport with each other.
The food just wasn't as good as before. The springbok was over cooked and my mash was stone cold. We just felt the food was average for the price and the tense atmosphere of the staff didn't help.
The cutlery wasn't polished, tables had napkins that looked like they'd been used and there was food on the floor! The addition of the tv completely kills the atmosphere.
I hope this is does not remain the case of Mak5 as I was singing its praises a few months ago but now I don't know if i'll be back. we didnt even feel like complaining to our waitress as we ended up feeling sorry for her and just wanted to leave.
Please Makhulu sort it out!!
Was thinking of going this Sunday, I dont know, it seems to have good days and bad, oh what to do, i think i'll maybe go in and ask if i can use the toilet, they seem to be the best thing about the whole thing, pity i hope it picks up because Bangor could do with a good restaurant other than papa joes which i do not like because everthing is too rich, might be china china then yum!
2nd time at makhulu 5 3rd oct .... all change with staff…whats going on… food soso service very soso ... very cold we had to keep our coats on ... 45 minutes for a rear steak and burger whats going on here .... desserts well we had to ask for menu not offored ... coffee an other 15 minutes ... well wont to back and office will be going some where else ....
Went to this restaurant when it first opened as I like to give support to any new business. Went with my husband and son for lunch. It was empty. Besides the expensive lunch menu, the smell of the oven was unbearable. I had my contact lenses in and my eyes were watering and burning. I wanted to leave after ordering drinks but my husband felt we should stay and give it a go.
They wanted £5 to feed a 2 year old, which I promptly declined.
We both ordered burgers and chips at £9.99 which is very overpriced especially for lunch time. You can get a great lunch at Papa Joes on Hamilton Road for around £6.00.
Won't be back unless I hear they have sorted out the ventilation. All of our clothes had to be washed as soon as we got home as it was as if we had bathed in bbq water. Gross.
I noticed they have now put some early bird offers and brunch menu on which is just as well as I would assume it would be better to reduce the lunch time menu price and fill the place, than charge ridiculous prices for a burger and have the place empty.
I am a personal Chef to a Marchioness and have cooked for Royalty and all I can say is the food at Makhulu 5 is fit for a King .I have worked my way threw the menu and now am starting with the lunch menu . I have been back 18 times since they opened and to day had lunch and supper there .Makhulu 5 means big five . From me they get my big five .
5 star! Food
5 star! Quality service
5 star! Pricing
5 star! Décor
5 star! Atmosphere .
Good luck and thanks to all for keeping me well fed .
First time in a South African diner so I was a bit open minded with the food.
Having read through the comments above it would be easy to conceive this place as a restaurant that takes you hours to get seated, when you do get seated, Its by a working girl, you have to constantly ask for certain items, the food is either served cold or that raw it is still jumping across the savanna and cutlrey you wouldn't feed your dog with.
My recent visit proved to be the complete opposite of negative comments posted prior to mine.
For all those 'critics' and negative people who ventured into this exceptional restaurant whilst in it's teething stage, I dare you to try this again now it's moved from a walk to a run.
Service was very good and Dale proved a good knowledge of products even though some not listed on the menu. (SA Beer)
Food was exceptional - spicy chicken wings are making me salivate still - Springbok -mmmmm- have it medium rare
One of the managers, Emma Jane did apologise for our mains taking to long although in my opinion there was no issue,
If I was to be picky and find a negative thing it would be that when our beers arrived with the glasses, one of the glasses had a crack in it. - highlighted to Dale and sorted, maybe the barstaff need to pay more attention to detail.
Thank you to the chefs for the mouthwatering food, Dale for your service and most of all Emma Jane for the follow up :-)
Be back soon!!
my partner and i had dinner around 8pm saturday night, we hadn't booked, the restaurant was moderately busy and we had no problem being seated. the service was quick, efficient and staff very personable…our waiter, johann was pleasant and knowlegable about the menu. i had thought i'd have the ostrich, but due to high demand the previous day it was unavailable. i chose the rump steak, my partner had the springbok….just fabulous. As im not a great fan of cream, i thought the pepper sauce was a little heavy on it, and a bit light on the pepper. the wine could maybe have been chilled a little more. the overall feeling about the restaurant is very good and we plan to take friends there for dinner in the next few weeks, and hope the ostrich is on:) bathrooms clean and uniquely decorated, we hope the standard continues…....would strongly recommend*****
Took the family to Makhulu 5 on Saturday evening. Service was excellent. Kids loved the decor, and bbq area which is fun. The food was very tasty. My partner had the rump steak with pepper sauce and loved it. Overall we had a very enjoyable evening.
Despite hearing some negative reviews about this place I wanted to give it a try myself. Had a nice lunch on Friday,very nice place which I will definitely go back to. A very welcome restaurant to Bangor. I went for the Zulu fire chicken wings and the 8oz ostrich and my mate went for the garlic mushrooms and Spatchcock chicken in peri-peri. For feedback purposes I would have liked my chicken to have had a bit more of a kick however in saying that I got a lot of chicken. The mash I had with my ostrich was a bit on the cool side however I did have gravy which took away some of the coolness. On reflection I should have said to the waiter. My mate observed that the mash was sitting for awhile before getting brought to our table. My ostrich was however excellent. My mate wasnt impressed by his garlic mushrooms due to lack of garlic. His Peri peri whole chicken and chunky chips was excellent. Recommend to give it a go.
Had a lunch on Friday and absolutely enjoyed the meal , the atmosphere and would recommend eating here. The portion size is incredibly huge and it was just a great experience. I have already booked another lunch for work colleagues next month. The staff all very friendly especially Johann. I would like to see a loyalty card process or something similar or maybe giving eg workers in the area an email with a discount voucher to use within the month or even doing a special lunch menu !!
Makhulu 5, 2 kids and 3 adults went for Sunday lunch table booked for 2pm didn't get out again till 4pm managed main course only in this time, due to extremely slow service infact it was a complete nightmare kids got restless waiting. When food finally arrived it was really nice and staff were lovely, this did not make up for all the waiting around
had lunch at Makhulu 5 today! 5 star! quality service and gorgeous food, will 100% go back. In fact we are thinking of having our xmas lunch there!
outstanding dining experience and great decor
Firstly, I've read all of the comments on this site and i really can't believe some of the things i've read. Come on guys, the place has just opened and people are trying to run it into the ground already. Guys look around Bangor or Ards, there is nothing like this place. It is unique, exciting and fresh. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal there. The service was very good, i always felt satisfied, well looked after - a valued customer. The food is top quality and i will recommend anybody to go. I was served by Johann, who went out of his way to give us the best service. A great guy and fun to talk to. guys try it for yourself, make up your own mind.
keep up the good work guys!
Dont usually write reviews but had a wonderful meal at Makhulu 5. Did not book, restaurant was busy but still got a table - not bad for a Saturday night at 8.00 pm. Food was great .. chowder best in NI without a doubt! Staff very friendly - Samantha was a star. Will absolutely go back. Looking forward to it. Did not smell smoke on my cloths as other review suggested. Love the bathrooms. Nice to eventually see something different in Bangor! Give it a try.
Me and my partner were very pleased with everything food was gorgoues and place looks great and smells good with the wood burning staff where very friendly and service was fab could not say a bad word about the place will definitely recommend and will return soon well done guys!!
am south african and love everything south african but this is the 2nd time Makhulu 5 has let me down. I let the first time go because it was a private event before they fully opened but this time was still not impressed.
The decor is lovely , its the staff that i find let the place down alot, we received our meal very quickly but after that no-one came near us, I wanted to ask for some water for the table and a steak knife for my ham hock which due to the size of it was awkward to get to grips with. We were never approached to ask if our meal was ok and the next time we saw the waiter was to clear our plate after he was prompted by the manageress. The food was nice enough and the ham hock went home in a doggie bag and made lovely soup for the next day so not totally a waste.
Hopefully the next time I go the service will be better . Otherwise everything else was fine and if asked I would not put people off from going
Just been there, Service was outstanding, staff were very courteous and friendly. The food was incredible, just like in south africa, I should know, I've just come home. The Boerwors and the springbok are excellent and the Malvas pudding is to die for. Recommend it, I don't need too. its packed every night. By the way as for some of the other comments, the food is well priced and reasonable, remember what you are getting. And if you don't like south african cooking, well then don't come, leave room for the majority of us who once having tasted it can't wait to come back.
Ive never written a review before but felt I had to as I completely disagree with the negative (and actually very rude and immature) comments left about Makhulu 5.
I've visited the restaurant twice now and both times the food and service have be exceptional. The first visit my wife and I were served by a very helpful and polite waiter. He was nervous, which is understandable, but really did make our visit enjoyable. We had 1 issue with the food (rump steak slightly over cooked) but this was sorted asap and the bill discounted which more than made up for the small error.
Our second visit was on saturday night (18/09) this time with a party of 6 and it was one of the best nights dinning we've ever had. Our waitress (Samantha) was superb!! Nothing was too much trouble and anything we asked for appeared on our table without delay.She was 100% genuine, took time to chat to us and had a lovely manor. The food was exceptional. I thoroughly recommend the springbok or ostrich, it is a SA steakhouse after all.
We had 1 issues when we first visited but this did not put us off coming back…..and we're glad we did. I hope people give Makhulu 5 a fair chance and understand that weekends will always be busy and mistakes can be made.
This is an excellent new establishment and well worth a visit. We are definitely fans!!!
I thought I would take the opportunity to respond to some of the malicious reviews left here. Firstly, I do not usually get caught up in these type of restaurant reviews, but I cannot help myself on this occasion. Let me put it to you this way, if you are honourable in your views and want to give any business constructive feedback then you need to understand the skills of creating reviews. In other words, let's outline the basics first. When you have a new restaurant business, any educated punter would know that that business will face teething problems and sometimes - from what we understand - some critical teething problems. I have always believed that the caliber of people that invest the vast sums of money needed into new concepts and, might I add, in this case a very unique concept, has the ability to receive constructive criticism, listen to it and then fix it. Surely the aim of feedback is to facilitate the improvements and growth so that the restaurant can overcome their teething issues.
Secondly, I have always believed that if I am unhappy about any issues in a restaurant that I visit for the first time and they did not meet my expectations then I will give them the feedback on the evening. Furthermore, if the opportunity presents itself, I would request to speak to the manager or owner. To expand on this , let me detail my experience at Makhulu 5 - which, I might add - was also not perfect. I can assure you this, by the time I had left, I understood why.
When we visited the restaurant, they did not have their liquor license yet and straight away, I was on a downer as I could not enjoy a nice glass of wine with the best meat I have ever tried - the Springbok!
For those of you who would like to be educated about the best way to eat meat, please read the small print on the menu as it clearly states below the springbok and the ostrich how they would recommend the meat to be cooked - which was medium rare for springbok and medium for ostrich.
With that said, any well done meat eater gets the leather they deserve. To be fair, about 15 years ago myself and all of my family used to be all well done meat eaters until we started frequenting steakhouses all over the world and were enlightened. I know of many such converters who have seen the light.
So, you do know its a South African safari lodge themed restaurant, don't you?
There were a few tiny set backs that also intrigued me enough to meet the owner. At first, I was also introduced to the manager (Emma Jane) who informed me that the owner was working in the kitchen and , as it was a wee bit busy, he could not come out to me but invited me to see him in his fire pit. What I thought was going to be a quick few words turned out to be a 15 minute conversation and all I can say is WOW, what I wealth of knowledge did I receive that evening!
For instance, did you know the following facts about this restaurant
1. The timber that they burn in their fire basket is imported from West Africa where the idea is to burn it down inside the fire basket and then they actually cook the food on timber coals like a proper South African braai?
2. Everything used in the restaurant is freshly prepared every day on site - even the desserts get baked in house.
3. From my 15 minutes in their kitchen, I would say that the average age of the chefs is 30 and from my understanding from what I could see, they were all very experienced.
I think you guys are starting to get the gist of my review. Before you go and slate a place instead of giving constructive criticism, first make an effort to get involved in order to understand the whole picture rather than small snippets here and there.
As a business owner myself, I know what it takes to make a name for yourself and also have had personal dealings with the ones that are only out there to be cruel due to their own shortcomings. Some of these reviews are not logical, they are personal. This is a message for the people of Makhulu 5. From my experience in your restaurant, I could tell that my feedback was taken seriously and that there are alot of passionate people behind the scenes. I know you guys will see it through despite the teething problems. There are many people out there like myself that will give you guys the support that you deserve. We will let you guys settle in and will certainly be back shortly.
On arrival everything looked very nice. Ordered a bottle of wine and took forever to arrive, when did arrive had to keep asking for wine glasses and then a wine cooler. Nearly 30 mins after arriving were still waiting on our wine glasses. First impression on service awful.
Staff nice, service very very poor. Theme in restaurant lovely. Decor lovely especially toilets which are really really funky.
Caters for a lot off people and I think this could be the problem. All the Chefs are very young as you can see them cooking eveything under a large grill area which is very smoky and no ventilation. Took far too long for the food to arrive and when are steaks arrived were all rare when we distintley asked for them very well done. Blood was coming out off them by this stage I did not want the Steak anymore what a put off. This is meant to be a Steakhouse and they do not know how to cook steaks. There needs to be a head Chef to keep the kitchen running and in order.
Mashed Potato cold, Pepper Sauce look warm. Starter portion was also very poor 2 Chicken Goujons on a bed off Iceberg lettuce I could have made better at home. Far too pricey for a starter and very little for the price.
We were asked a couple off times was everything okay and we were honest and said no. (Emma Jane) manageress was very nice and took a lot off our bill. We actually felt very sorry for her in the end. To be honest I wouldn't have paid full price for the meal anyway as none off our party ate the steaks (Springbok) Meat is disguting they would be better with NI Steaks.
I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone and will not be returning.
I had a fantastic time in Makhulu 5. Service was great all the staff were friendly and helpful. My girlfriend was delighted with the vegetarian dishes and the kitchen were more than happy to accommodate her. I had the springbok which was cooked to perfection. The waiter who served us was very friendly, always smiling. We had the manager (colleen I think ) over asking us how our meal was and did we have any feedback, which added a lovely personal touch to the whole meal.
The decor and theme of the whole place is fantastic, very different and original with the open fire and animal prints and even a sauna!!!
The toilets were spotless and very different, i had to go in a second time just to have another look. Check them out!!
Obvioulsy as a new restaurant there were a few things needing worked out but as soon as we sat down the waiter explained to us they'd only opened, and it was definately worth the wait for our food.
I can't wait to return, i'll be sure to recommend makhulu 5 to everyone.
I have to say it is a rare experience to eat in a place that I am able to leave completely satisfied, but Makhulu 5 ticked all the boxes. Food was phenomenal, staff were fantastic and the general ambience was second to none.
I had springbok for my main and have to agree with the comment left above…. better than steak. My wife also tucked in to the ostrich (one of the leanest meats you can get, so worked well with the calorie count) ;).
A must visit restaurant, I will definitely return in the future to work my way through the menu. 10/10
Ate in Makhulu on Sat 18/9. Strangely they don't appear to have a phone no, therefore impossible to reserve a table. The restaurant has an open plan grill area which consumed the entire restaurant with smoke. When I returned home my clothes and hair stank of smoke. Restaurant doesn't appear to have adequate extraction!!
Brought are own wine as 'BYO' was advertised outside until early Oct and then when we got there the waitress informed us that it was now Licensed and we would be charged £5 corkage for our 1 bottle of wine. Waited approx 40mins before we got a wine glass to drink our wine, which was left on the table without a chiller. After asking staff 4 times for wine glasses we finally got very hot ones - must have been straight from the dishwisher!! Very poor service!!!
3 of our party had starters and they were just ok. Dirty starter cutlery was left on the table and no clean cutlery was brought for the main without asking for it!! When mains eventually arrived they were all sent back as they were cold and very very undercooked!! When we eventually got our mains back we were then left with cold sauces and again had to ask for hot ones, which took forever. We were in the restaurant for almost 3 hrs and we just had a starter and a main, by the time the main was cooked right we had all lost are appetites.
Nice decor, lovely toilets, nice music, nice manager (felt so sorry for her as everything was going wrong!!!) but would never return. Possible the worst dining experience I have ever encountered!!!
Great place , its just opened so we expected a few hicups. took a while to take our drinks order and food order, but it made up for it when it came.
manageress was great and sorted everything out (emma jane) our main came before our starter , but she sorted this out by taking it off the bill even though we didn't want this , she insisted.
great experience and hope this venture see's it through the rough times ahead.
might need to aim more for the family budget to compete with the local kids favourite, but the theme is great.
My husband and I are just in from our first visit to this restaurant. Staff were all very helpful, especially our waitress Jessica and the manageress. Decor was lovely, place was clean and atmosphere was great. We will be back again and look forward to a night there with friends.
Good luck to all management and staff in your new business venture.
the food is outstanding the starters are beautiful my partner had the potato salad and corn and said it was delious and i had the mushrooms and they were yummy aswel ! we each had a rib eye and they were beautifully cooked 10/10 guys keep up the good work
I have to agree with the first comments. Staff are great and place looks fantastic but portions are very small and expensive. My rib-eye stake was fatty too and I had to pay extra for pepper sauce. You only get about 15 chips in a little bowl (and thety cost extra obviously) I also suggest you ask for it done one step below what you usually get as my med-rare was medium with no pink! My wife went for the ham-hock and could't eat it after she cut into it and a pure blood clot near hit her in the face. £45 for a couple of mains and a couple of cokes!!
Also the front of house girl needs to cover up a bit, I felt like I was been shown to my seat by (a working girl).
Apparently the guy that owns the place has never owned a restaurant before and wants feedback.
My feedback is larger portions of side orders, find a better butcher, cover that reception girl up and perhaps have the waters cover their tatoos.
Food 4/10 Saff 7/10 Price 3/10 Decor 10/10
Try 52 on High Street for comparison, same money.
I thing the owner of Makhulu 5 should turn it into a theam bar instead.
All said, it has potential but we will wait a few months before returning to see if he has his act together foodwise!!
Spoke to a couple others who think the same..
Obviously a lot of time and money spent, place looks fantastic and the staff we met were helpful (although I didnt appreciate being called a pillock by the front of house girl, even as a joke).
Even overlooking teething troubles, a few things let the place down badly. My partner was given a dirty, lipstick covered glass for our wine which wasnt exactly the best start. Then we were told that only 1 of 3 steaks on the menu was available - a steakhouse with no steak??? Come on!
My rack of ribs arrived a good 5 mins before my partner's ribeye, and both were VERY plainly served on cast iron platters which in any other restaurant would have been hot and sizzling. A tiny bowl of chips each made up the meal, and no way was it worth £40. The ribs were really really good, but the steak wasnt a great cut plus it was very fatty even for ribeye.
Maybe our experience isnt typical, but we wont be rushing back. I could have had as good a meal at home using products from Primacy Meats at a fraction of the cost - if I want a full-on steak meal I will stick to Tony Roma's.
What a place!! I had Springbok (like Steak only tastier!) & my wife had ostrich (tasty stuff too). All cooked in the middle of the restaurant in a kind of BBQ style….only much fancier.
There was European food on the menu too but we went with the whole African theme. I had a nice Ethiopian coffee to top it all off. + the pricing was good.
The place is worth a visit for the décor alone; There's an African theme throughout: An acacia tree in the middle of the restaurant; Elephants and the big game animals decorate the walls. The toilets are funny & amazing! You've got to see them.

So with Plax the only free agent WR left and Jerome our in-house option, what is our plan for our guy to line up opposite our stud AJ to hopefully lessen the load as well as break the middle of the field wide open for Gresh and Ship?
As suggested here a ton in the past, is it time to give Armon Binns a chance to shine?
I actually may be crazy but would be all in for signing Burress to a one year , maybe incentive laden deal, continuing to develop Binns, and drafting a Marvin Jones, Tommy Streeter, Brian Quick, Nick Toon type guy to fight for that spot, as well as gaining some good on the field (non night club) knowledge from a really good veteran receiver who I think in a non-NY situation could be a good teammate.
What do you guys think??
