Dros in Mbombela is a restaurant set up like a wine cellar, serving South African dishes in a casual setting. You can order ribs, calamari, pork schnitzel, or pulled pork burgers, with chips or vegetables on the side. The place is family-friendly — on Sundays, kids under twelve eat free from the children’s menu when an adult orders a main meal. The restaurant is part of a franchise that started in Stellenbosch in 1996, with locations now across South Africa. The Mbombela branch sits on Ferreira Street, a short drive from the city center. The kitchen serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the bar offers house wines and Windhoek Draught beer. On Thursdays, there’s a calamari special with chips and a drink. The tables are wooden, the lighting is warm, and the walls are lined with wine racks.
