Geet Indian Restaurant

I took my wife to Geet Restaurant for a lunch for her birthday. This is still the best Indian restaurant in South Africa by far. The food was absolutely magnificient once again ! We had the Nally Lamb and the Allepy Chicken with mushroom rice and butter naan. The owner Gita and her staff were highly attentive and the attention to detail was impeccable. Gita takes such pride in her dishes and in all the years we have been enjoying her cuisine we have been impressed by the consistency of quality and the delicate, complex flavours that invade your palate and leave a memory of refined, sophisticated, deliciousness, layers and layers of delicate flavours, unforgettable and unsurpassed levels of memorable satisfaction. Few Indian restaurants are capable of producing this level of quality. Definitely one of the very best restaurants in Pretoria and worth a visit. Highly recommended to all serious diners !

This is such a lovely Indian Restaurant. The atmosphere is great, the waiter really knew his dishes and they made my wife’s birthday really special.

We know the owners very well and I can clearly state, this is the place to take your friends if you want to impress them. Order a few dishes for the table to share, so that you can get a taste of all the great flavors. Ask the hostess to recommend something, she is always spot on for the company.

Always a treat to dine there, great service, tasty Indian food. Authentic dishes, wide variety, and caters for vegetarians.

You walk through the door and are being welcomed by an aroma of Indian spices. The ambiance is luxurious and warm and a whisky bar awaits the whisky lovers. The have a wide selection to choose from on the menus. The food was exquisite and definitely the best I have tasted in Gauteng. My only complaints were that the drinks and food took too long and the food was not warm enough.

Probably the best Indian restaurant I have ever visited. Very upmarket and the mixture of spice is done by a true master. Not your average curry joint. Pricy but worth it, because the ingredient in the food was only the best.

The drinks service was excruciatingly slow. The samosas we received were very plain, and all the curries were identical to one another despite having different descriptions. Considering the pricing, this was a disappointing experience.

For their restaurant week selection they offered 3 menus, complete with starters, mains and a standard desert for all three. We were attended to by a very friendly young waitress, who was attentive throughout entire meal. For starters we shared a crispy chicken lolly, served with golden apple, beetroot sesame pure, pickled golden apple and dry roasted peanut mousseline. The chicken breast on a lolly stick was juicy and perfectly spiced, and a perfect match for the delicate tastes on the rest of the plate. The other starter was a fig flavoured chicken and lamb with pear chutney. This was also divine, and a wonderful balance between tastes, which is rare when one starts to combine different meats on one plate. For mains we loved their lamb shank, served with mushroom rice, dhal makhni and a mushroom naan. The lamb itself was beautifully soft and it fell off the bone. The other mains were a Butter Makhni with prawns, served with cashew nut lemon rice and a garlic and almond naan. The prawns were equally beautifully prepared and delicious. It almost seemed a shame to use the lovely rice and naan to sweep up all the tasty gravy but one could not leave a single drop of it behind!!Dessert was a Bhundi chocolate coated lado; mango kulfi ice cream, home-made Turkish delight and coconut rolled jelly. All of this was served alongside golab jamun and a bed of lemon crumbs and rose petals. Although plentiful, the desserts were individually lovely and enjoyed to their full extent.

Not sure what happened here.Let's start by saying we are spoiled by our Indian culinary adventures. To live ten minutes from Jackson Heights, Queens, NY (one of the most concentrated Indian diaspora in the world) means we KNOW traditional Indian food - northern and southern.Geet... is not traditional. It's iIndian-inspired, or perhaps a South African-Indian fusion, if anything. The flavors were good, but nothing came together as a dish. We were mostly confused by what we were served.However, service is exceptional, and for that we will add two stars.
