    Great place for casual evening dinner and drinks. They have some really good South African fare on the menu. My wife (a South African from Durban) really enjoyed the lamb curry. It can be a bit loud if you sit inside, so I would recommend the patio, if you can can get it.

    I’ve dined at Eldos half a dozen times over the past year. No matter what you order the food is always great, as is the very prompt and efficient service and the selection of beers on tap. My only complaint is the very small parking lot with only two ADA spots. And last night, a very large extended club cab pick-up truck was partially blocking the very narrow travel lanes through the lot. Had to park off-site in the residential neighborhood and walk a block.

    Our reservation was at 7pm. We got sat at about 7:10 even though there were many empty tables. As soon as we had the opportunity to order a drink, we did as well as an appetizer. It was a bit of a long wait for everything. When the server came out again, we ordered our entrees.. Our entrées arrived at 8:13. When the appetizer was brought out, we asked the young man that brought it out, for small plates, he did not bring them so we had to eat out of the same dish. When he brought it out entrees, we asked him for another round of drinks, he did not give that information to the server. And then, when we asked him for to go boxes, you guessed it… ….They seemed very short staffed, even though there were a lot of empty tables. Neither of our streaks were cooked properly, but we didn’t say anything as it would have taken too long to redo. We’ll give it another try, maybe it was an off night.
