The food n this restaurant was awefully made and presented!! I asked to have food brought to me that contained no garlic and it was loaded with it with spices and poorly incorporated food and rediculous side dishes! Also poor quality food for the price! the waiter lacked knowledge of what was in each item on the menu. I specifically said no garlic....I ended up sick that night...had to take medication and lost my sleep!
Pros:
Cons: food was aweful!
Fancy South-African food in a big, airy space in Buckhead. Reviewed by HunterPearson on

This place is good... but outstanding? I'm not sure. It's a big and beautiful space, and the presentation and service is elegant. And perhaps it's because I haven't truly been introduced to the cuisine, but I just don't get it. And I especially don't get it when apps are $10 and entrees are $20+. That makes for an expensive learning curve.
Everything we had was pretty solid, but nothing really stood out. Well, there was one thing. The chicken spring rolls tasted like something that came from my freezer... but whatever the red sauce that came with it was, was AWESOME. It was zesty, and slightly spicy and looked like Zaxby's sauce. But tasted WAY better. I ended up dunking basically everything on our table in there.
Again, perhaps I just don't know the cuisine... but I really don't see much of a reason to go back, unless I'm in the area.

My husband and I lived in South Africa for two years. We were excited when we read about 10 Degrees South restaurant. We decided to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary there.
My husband ordered the Kingklip and loved it--just like when he ordered it in South Africa. I ordered the prawns and was very disappointed. The service was terrible and the restaurant was not even busy. Our waitress would disappear for long periods of time. One waiter did not seem to have anything to do but wander around the restaurant.
We had planned to take our children, their spouses, and grandchildren to the restaurant because they had visited us in South Africa. We are not going to waste our money or time to go back.
