Local tip
Try the babotie and a classic malva pudding for a truly South African dining experience! The band is also fantastic - time a visit when they're performing to get the true Mama Africa vibe.
Mama Africa restaurant is now a Long Street institution, and over the years this unique restaurant has garnered a loyal fan base of both locals and foreigners. This Mama is well known for the unique design, interior, and atmosphere, all of which feed the senses and will wrap you in warm African hospitality. She may be somewhat eccentric and quirky, but her simple food is delicious and authentic, her wine list comprehensive, her bar always well stocked and buzzing, and the staff warm and friendly. Add vibrant local African music to this mix and one inevitably leaves Mama full and happy!
