First time having crocodile meat And it was good. Mamas sweet treat platter is also great to try out

The live music was the highlight of our group's dining experience in Mama Africa & the lively band made our night. Food was on the pricier side but with huge servings. Go for the fish dishes !

Amanda C

Great ambience. Out of the club scene nearby and live marimba band. Doesn’t get better. Staff is so nice.

Kristian Rabe

Great Food. Tasty wine . Nice music . Perfect for fading out a nice day in Cape Town Read more

Powie!

The music is amazing, the food and decorations too! A must go!

One of the most beautiful things

Samantha Hanekom

Live band is incredible, ostrich steak is awesome. Brilliant experience! Loved every minute

Jeremy Adam Wlaszek Walt

There are no tips to leave. It has to be one of the greatest success stories in the entertainment / dining out for foreigners in South Africa .

Joanne Lee

Lucky the other waiter and waitresses are much nicer. Their desserts are gorgeous.. Try their coconut pudding and flaming banana ..

Victoria Wong

Touristy , but good live music and service nonetheless

Cinnamon Roll

They dont give you your checkin special!. Only thing you get is a smile instead of the special!.. :/ not nice!.. Dont get excited for the special :/ but the music and the african atmosphere is nice

If you get here, you have to try the Zimbabwean Dovi - chicken and vegetables in a peanut sauce served over rice .

Joelle H.

Vibrant live band playing. Busy and lively joint. Also got a free glass of wine as a four square special.

Thomas Simpson

Come and stay. It's great.

Music , atmosphere and food

Sarah Lu

15 Rand extra for live Music . Food is okay. Very nice Location.

Arlo Midgett

Service was better than Tripadvisor reviews led us to believe and the food was good (if spendy.) The Foursquare wine special is a lie, however.

Toon Debou

Feels like a noisy tourist trap. They bill you for everything: "live music ", side dishes not asked for, ... Pushy waitress recommending the most expensive dishes as "her favorites". Dirty bathrooms .

Rawan

Iive music ..

Dalal Ak

Special offer not valid anymore.

yesiwillyesican

Waitress advised the deal was no longer available and didn't seem at all apologetic, but instead very 'matter of fact' about it. Wait staff seems arrogant. Let's see what the food tastes like.

Nezz

Special doesn't exist - I was told it had 'expired'. Have suggested strongly that they remove it ASAP

Ash Bhe

Heard its a nice place for ppl looking for anafrican experience

Fernando Gameleira

On Tuesday it was pretty empty. But the place is nice.

Joanne Lee

Free glass of wine special is no longer valid.. :( the waitress serving us tonite isn't too friendly ... :(

nas m

why Sunday no open??? shame!

Jeff Clark

Don't bother trying to claim the special. "it was only valid last year..."

Tanya Tsymbal

Живая музыка - это что-то увидеть и услышать!!! Коллектив marimba vibrations оставил неизгладимое впечатление )) хорошая еда. Людно. Еду приходиться подождать :)

Peter Scherbakov

Спецпредложение от мамы африки работает.за чек ин в форсквер дают стакан домашнего вина .Шумновато для разговоров.Музыка африканская и кухня стейки , морепродукты немного дичи и даже про вегет не забыли

Jona Q

Sí quieres comer carnes exóticas este es tu sitio. Fuimos a medio día para estar más tranquilos y evitar los espectáculos para turistas y la música en vivo ( la cual te cargan en la factura).

Domingo Neto

Restaurante tradicional , de cozinha sul-africana, no meio da Ling Street !

Halina Doria

A comida não é a melhor que provamos, inclusive quando chegamos muita coisa do cardápio já tinha acabado. Mas a banda e a música valem uma visita.

Дарья Шило

Всей нашей компании не понравилась еда. Объективно, не вкусно. Выступление группы интересное, но уж очень шумно . В кафе одни туристы. Советую выбрать другое место

Manoel Neto

Um lugar maravilhoooooooso demais!

André Ribeiro

A música e o ambiente são bons, mas o atendimento deixou a desejar. O tempo de preparo dos pratos foi demorado. Trocaram o meu pedido sem me avisar que o prato solicitado estava em falta.

Fábio M. Rezende

Claro que eu não iria perder a oportunidade de experimentar esse espetinho de carne de crocodilo !

Rana Tekin

Hoş bir mekan????
