Geet Indian Restaurant

The title of the review is from my eight-year old son. It's what he said after taking his first bite. He is a discerning young lad having had Indian food in places where it is at its finest including London and Nairobi. Suffice to say everyone in our family thinks Geet is the best Indian restaurant in all of Pretoria. This was our second "carry out" experience and was even better than the first. We had four vegetarian dishes and three non-veg dishes including standards like Paneer Makhni and Butter Chicken as well as some less common dishes like Jalandhari Gobi Bhurjee and Nepalese Biriyani. The Chaana Masala and Pesto Panner were also really tasty. We ordered everything "mild" which is probably just right for most palates. The menu is extensive and will keep you coming back to try new delicacies. While it isn't cheap by South African standards, each dish is enough for two meals, assuming you have it with rice and naan. We look forward to future visits to Geet.

We went for the Restaurant Week 4-course lunch at R250 pp. Seriously, do not eat anything before you go. Portions are generous. For mains we had the Coconut Lime Coriander Prawns and the Nally Ghost Lamb. Both dishes served with rice, potato and naan. Both were aromatic and delicious, but the prawns were out of this world. The desserts were good, but after all the courses, the ice-cream alone would have been more than enough. The affordable Gewurztraminer complimented the curry wonderfully. Great service from Wellington and charming owner.

We dined here for Restaurant Week. The set menu had a good variety, with something for everyone, including mains of chicken, lamb, prawns, ostrich, as well as a vegetarian option. My starter was lamb arachini, which was a lamb meatball with a crispy cumin pastry, and was delicious. I had the lamb main dish, which was divine, and consisted of a large portion of layers of vegetable breyani, jeera potato, lamb curry, and a masala mushroom naan. For dessert, I had the chocolate samoosas, which were mouth-wateringly good. It was truly well worth it, and I will definitely dine here again. The owner was very friendly and interactive. Service by Wellington was excellent.

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.

Atmosphere = 5/5Waiters = 5/5Meal selection = 5/5Taste = 5/5I have found my Indian haven and recommend you go there in an empty stomach and will not regret anything

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.
