Zama Restaurant & Prohibition Bar: A Taste of Mozambique in Cape Town

Zama Restaurant & Prohibition Bar is a popular destination in Cape Town, offering a unique atmosphere and delicious food inspired by Mozambique.

Vibrant Decor and Warm Atmosphere

You’ll be transported to a different world when you step inside Zama. The vibrant decor, inspired by Mozambique, features woven lights and umbrellas in bright blues, reds, and yellows hanging from the ceiling. The two-story building is bright and airy, with plenty of seating options upstairs and downstairs.

The Prohibition Bar

A standout feature of Zama is its prohibition bar. Tucked away in the restaurant’s corner, it offers a different feel to the rest of the space. The dim lighting and stone walls create an underground speakeasy atmosphere, perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic date. The extensive cocktail list, featuring classic and signature cocktails with a Mozambican twist, is a highlight.

Inspired Menu

Mozambique inspires the Zama menu and features various grills, seafood, and spice. One must-try dish is the classic chicken prego roll, a traditional Mozambican sandwich filled with juicy chicken and a spicy sauce. Seafood lovers will enjoy the prawn rissoles, half-moon breaded pastries stuffed with spicy prawns. Another crowd-pleaser is the oven-roasted and brandy-flambéd chorizo.

Lunch Specials

Zama also offers lunch specials from 12 pm to 4 pm on Monday to Friday. Guests can order a prego chicken or beef roll, beer-battered hake, or fresh kingklip and receive complimentary wine or 330ml beer. It’s an excellent option for a quick lunch break or catching up with friends during the week.

Friendly Staff and Welcoming Atmosphere

The staff at Zama pride themselves on providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all guests. They are always happy to help you choose the perfect dish or cocktail.

A Must-Visit Destination
