    My 1st time back in 20 years…A little disappointed with food and service. Live music and table drumming filled in the cracks!

    I can recommend that waiters ask the clients if they want one bill or paying individuals .

    Food was ok but not great compared to its price. In addition, we were charged a 210R fee for booking online. That fee was then not discounted from the final bill. We did not remember that at the moment of payment, but contacted the venue later to sort it out, and they did not respond. Disappointing.

    Mama Africa Cape Town responded on Fri 28 Aug 26:
    Hi Laia, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the food did not feel like good value and that the online booking fee was not properly handled on your bill. That is not the experience we want for our guests. We also regret that your follow-up was not answered. Please reach out to us directly so we can look into this and make it right. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back. The Team

    Amazing place, the band really brings the good vibes and the staff are great. We had Carmel who was extremely friendly and always ensured we were accommodated for. Highly recommend this place!

    I told in the reservation that it was my birthday, but I didn't see anything like 'happy birthday song'. However the show was very good

    I have loved the ambience, the music, the decoration and the food. A very nice experience to live while in Cape Town.
