Delicious food, inexpensive plus it opens till late. Some dishes can be too spicy for the ordinary palate. It's 15-20 feet from our 4th floor apartment, so we plan to dine there often.

Okay so I didn't know that lamb in a dark coconut sauce was a thing and that was a big gap in my life this place has fixed. So delicious. They default to coconut rice, entirely worth a visit.

Mozambique cuisine is so good! I ate starter dinner and cake and of course beer from this country. I have been there around 7.30 PM and I was almost alone. After half hour restaurant was full :)

Delicious African food😊 Ask for spicy souce, it gives a good kick to the dish. Very friendly stuff, need to wait a bit for food but worth it😊

ASk for the weekdays menu during lunch . Two drinks, main dish and coffee ! Delicious ! Lamb and wuca are my favorite dishes ! If you are a coconut fan as myself don't over think it ! 😋

Unique mix of tastes from Mozambique and Portugal, with some flavours from India. Portions are huge and prices favorable. We had a little talk with the owner, who very good knows English.

Love the familiar atmosphere and delicious food. Highly recommended. Sit down and you'll see a cast of characters from the neighborhood pass by and say hi to the owners and chat for a few minutes.

Just great: everything. Try the frango! But the vegan food is also delicious.
Julie NguyenOctober 29, 2017
Excellent olives, fries, samosas, and shrimp curry!! Crowded, energetic vibe which says a lot about the place!

The lamb dish is amazing! A bit spicy but probably the best dish I’ve had in a long while. 5 stars!

We had crab, coconut sauce, swordfish, mussels. A busy, busy little place hidden away and worth seeking out.
Matt BarberNovember 10, 2016
Excellent. Try getting two dishes and sharing. Lovely outside area and good value wine.

Some nice traditional dishes, African with Portuguese ingredients. Try the shrimp rise ones!

Sebastian is the best server and such a lovely person! However the food just needed a bit more of a kick. The chamussas need a tomato sauce and the lamb curry was too salty

Outdoor seating. Exciting Mozambican dishes (spicy Basra lamb ribs). Also samosas

The lamb falls apart as you touch it, that’s how tender it is. Falls apart, I say.

Had the Makoufe - a coconut, crab and shrimp stew with greens. Was fantastic!
Tereza PalaontaMarch 24, 2018
Amazing African food! You have to try it. Cheap.
Dania BdeirOctober 22, 2022
Lamb chakuti is delicious !!! The makoufe is alright but too creamy. It pales in comparison to the chakuti

Really yummy beef samosas but watch out for the very spicy sauce!
Yanko StoyanovApril 10, 2017
Pretty decent food, notably affrican influence, but easy on the pallet.
Manu TercicAugust 23, 2014
Unfortunately disappointed by a place that has no interest and is not cheap for what it is. Don't understand the enthusiasm. You can get much better in Lisboa!

Samosas were awesome

Lunchtime you can find the place just by the smell of chicken roasting on the grill.

Great atmosphere, good food and friendly staff

Food was a bit bland. Poor service, ordered a second drink that never came even after reminding them about it but it showed up three times on the bill.
Dennis A. Van PouckeSeptember 15, 2020
Food was good, but nothing extraordinary. Superfriendly and helpful staff.

The worst food I ever ate...The crab smelled like rotten 🤮

If I was living in Lisbon, it could be a place I come once in a while but as a tourist I don’t think you need to go out of your way to visit this placr

Einfach wunderbar etwas versteckt gelegen.Tolles afrikanisch-portugiesisch-indisches Essen variiert nach Jahreszeit.Probiert das Wuco mit Erdnußsauce und KokosreisAbends ist reservieren sehr sinnvoll!
Lara MengattiSeptember 3, 2019
ótima surpresa em Lisboa! Fica aberto até tarde, a comida é incrível e muito bem temperada (várias entradas e apenas uma opção de prato vegetariano, que vale a pena) e o atendimento é surpreendente.
João Pedro AmaralAugust 18, 2014
Comida muito boa e muito em conta. Indicado para jantares de grupo (fazem menu para grupos com bebida a descrição). O staff é muito simpático. Vale a pena.
Juan Ramón Chávez SaldañaFebruary 25, 2019
Esta increíble desde el ambiente , es una decoración de barrio! La comida esta súper es recomendable ampliamente !
pierre CAugust 29, 2016
Franchement un service digne d'un bistrot parisien... (Désagréable) pour le reste (l'essentiel) c'est plutôt bon sans être génial... Les bananes en entrée sont une tuerie et les desserts à éviter
João MoreiraMay 11, 2014
Aos fins de semana os preços aumentam para uma média de 10€. Têm esplanada e wi fi. Paparis muito oleosos, chamuça vegetariana era muito boa, no geral bom mas com o preço um pouco puxado.
Rui MarquesAugust 1, 2017
Bom espaço de esplanada para uma noite quente ao ritmo africano. O Caril de camarão estava bom. Bom preço/qualidade
João FerreiraApril 11, 2019
Belo prato vegetariano !

Frango a Zambeziana: prato simples mas muito saboroso!! Recomendo.
