    Mama Afrika is a very busy restaurant in Cape Town, and well-known among tourists and locals alike, offering nice music and fulfilling that Cape experience. Thus, you have to make sure you have a reservation before going here...if you do have a guide, he or she may set you up.

    After the new democracy of South Africa was established more than 10 years ago, they built this restaurant on Long Street which is at the very heart of the inner city of Cape Town.

    The restaurant offers traditional African cuisine. Enjoy eating while you listen to tribal drumming and stare at its unusual 500-bottle Coca Cola chandelier.

    If for anything, try to visit this restaurant just because of its history and close association with the new South African sentiments post-Apartheid.

  • Tip Rating:
  • This is a happening loud african restaurant that has a live african band drumming, singing, and a generally cool time....don't expect this to be a quiet evening !!!

    Mama Afrika: Spring Bock, Ostrich and more
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The Mama Africa is listed in every guide of Cape Town. Consequently there is a high percentage of tourists among the guests. It really is a nice place, though. The prices are a little bit too high.

    Mama Afrika: Live music!
  • Satisfaction:
  • If you want to have the chance of eating some "african" food is one of the best places, you won't find something like this at the waterfront where all the restaurants are very european. The best thing at this place is that they usually have an African band playing at night with a lively atmosphere. The best way to live the place is by taxi, I wouldn't recomend you to walk for too long at night.
