The Ambience

The Menu
Boma’s heart and soul reside in its menu, paying homage to flame-grilled dishes, a cherished tradition. From the quintessential South African dish, the scrumptious skaap rib, to the mouth-watering chopped beef sando, each offering at Boma tells a tale of its own. The chakalaka and tomato rice encompass centuries of flavors, while sharing plates are perfect for fostering camaraderie among friends.
Desserts and Beverages
The culinary journey does not end with the main course. Boma takes equal pride in crafting unforgettable dessert experiences. Classic dishes like the jaffle receive a contemporary update with ingredients such as 90-day-aged comte, tomato, blatjang, and onion. Tempting options like karoo honey cake or pumpkin churro are sure to delight your taste buds.
The desert theme extends to the beverages, with specialty concoctions like the Dusky Desert Delight and Cactus Sunset complementing classic cocktails, beers, and wines.

As the clock strikes 10 pm, Boma undergoes a remarkable metamorphosis. The venue offers an eclectic music experience, encompassing genres ranging from country and western to lo-fi hip-hop and more. Catering to an exclusive clientele above 25, Boma provides a curated space for discerning Capetonians.
