“ Wonderful kitchen, first time ever to try Mozambiquan food. The service is very personal and open for conversation and sharing stories. Would definatly recommend! *the host can guide you perfectly through the menu ”
“ This is a great family-run restaurant just outside of Lisbon city centre. It has a traditional menu of Portuguese and Mozambique cuisine, which is a nod to the owner's heritage. The decorations are really unique as they tell the family story, with links to footballer Eusebio himself! I had a veal stew for lunch - I can't remember the name in Portuguese! Lovely, rich and tender. The homemade pickles for my starter samaosa were amazing - with one very spicy! All together I had a starter, main and two pints for less than 20EURO. I'd say this a good place for families and friends to have a relaxed meal or even watch the football. Overall, it's fantastic. ”
“ Cosy, sunny spot with a rich history. Best chocolate mousse I’ve ever had (and my data set on this is broad). The restaurant and kitchen are clean and the staff are welcoming. Well worth the trip! And don’t skip the samosas. ”
“ Great curry, don’t take international credit cards ”
“ Delicious food. My wife randomly stumbled upon this place on google and I’m glad she did. We ordered shrimp, crab, peanut butter chicken, and their famous samosa. All the dishes are absolutely mouth-wateringly delicious. On top of everything, the owner was so accommodating. 10/10 recommended. ”
“ A hidden gem frequented by loyal locals. The food is truly out of this world matched by the very best service one can wish for. Without reservation one must arrive around noon and by 2 pm all the goodies are gone! Opened for dinner only on Fridays and Saturdays. Highly recommended even if you need to take an Uber all the way from Lisbon! WOW!! ”
“ Perfect place! For 1.5 years in Portugal, here I tried the first delicious soup)) Pork ribs were soft and juicy. The waiter is kind and welcoming. I will definitely come here again. ”
