Mama Africa: A Celebration of African Cuisines and Cultures

Mama Africa is more than just another restaurant in Cape Town. It is a place that celebrates the rich cultures and cuisines of Africa. For more than 25 years, it has been a gathering place for people from all over the world who want to experience the vibrant flavors of Africa in the heart of Cape Town.

A Fresh Look That Maintains Tradition

Under new ownership, Mama Africa has undergone a makeover under a new license while still retaining the traditional African feel that makes it unique. The restaurant has a beautiful, color-changing chandelier made of glass bottles that adds to its lively atmosphere.

An Authentic Journey Through Africa

Mama Africa’s menu takes guests on a journey through the different regions of Africa. The dishes are delicious and authentic, prepared by chefs trained in traditional African cooking techniques. Guests can savor various dishes, including tender crocodile meat, skewered goat with peppers, and the tasty Zambian chikan-da dish.

Eating with Your Hands and Connecting with the Food

One of the unique features of Mama Africa is the encouragement to eat with your hands. It is an opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the African dining experience and connect with the food more personally.

Live Music: An Integral Part of the Mama Africa Experience

An essential component of Mama Africa’s experience is live music. Every night a fresh performer takes the stage, giving guests a chance to take in Africa’s rich musical history. Mama Africa is a center for music and culture in Cape Town, including live reggae performances on Thursdays and djembe drumming on other days.

A Must-Visit Spot in Cape Town

Mama Africa’s reopening comes when the world is recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic, and it is a welcome addition to the vibrant Cape Town dining scene. With its opening times from 12 pm to 2 am every day, Mama Africa is the perfect option for lunch, dinner, or late-night drinks.

Mama Africa is more than just a restaurant. It is a cultural experience that offers unique and delicious dishes, lively music, and a vibrant atmosphere. It is a must-visit spot in Cape Town for anyone looking to indulge in the deep flavors of Africa while immersing themselves in its rich culture.
