In honor of Johannesburg native Dave Matthews’ impending two-nighter at the JPJ, we stopped by The Shebeen for a taste of authentic South African cuisine. The unique blend of East Indies flavors and traditional Dutch and English dishes makes for a delicious dinner—and, given their generous portions, tomorrow’s lunch, too. Try the Lamb Sosatie: chunks of lamb skewered on stalks of sugar cane, garnished with a helping of lentils, yellow rice, and a selection of chutney and sauces. We recommend accompanying your meal with a pint of one of their imported draughts—and thinking about how good it would taste out on the dusty veldt.
The ShEbeen 247 Ridge-McIntire Rd. 296-3185
