Beautiful restaurant that is aesthetically pleasing. The food is really delicious, I had a chicken salad/bowl that was really a 5/5. The service was good. We enjoyed the drinks however my friends old-fashioned was nearly half of the glass when it arrived but they resolved that for us.

Had a lovely meal out with friends at this mesmerising new venue in Rosebank. They serve the most delicious food.
I had tacos as a starter and tried their ribs. The meat was falling off the bone!
Service was exceptional and the venue’s location is ideally located.

Three of us went here (first time for each of us). The restaurant was decorated around the theme of the Carnival. Very fresh and very tasty. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is very festive and electric. We had the white fish ceviche, lomo saltado, lamb baracoa tacos, and Jospher fried line fish. Everything was delicious, but our favorite was the white fish ceviche. Would go again if we are in the area.

The food was amazing specifically the lamb tacos. However the portions were either small or way over priced. Definitely not student price friendly but once you got that mula or that rich partner to pay for you it's a great experience.

The only thing great about this restaurant was the food. The service or lack thereof was mediocre yet there’s a ton of patrons standing around doing absolutely NOTHING even when u request assistance they just relay the message to the other and nothing happens. We struggled with some bees and flies while we were eating and the patrons were just walking past us like it’s nothing,even after we requested for insect repellent,it took them half an hour to bring something to help.We ended up spending more time there than planned simply because the wait for our food and drinks was way too long and for those reasons I don’t plan to go back nor will I ever recommend it. There are a ton of other great restaurants around the area,we could’ve easily walked over to Tashas.

Mama Samba is an absolute gem! The sophisticated tropical ambiance and beautiful island vibes create a one-of-a-kind experience. From the delectable cuisine to the vibrant bar atmosphere, it's a true standout. 5 stars without a doubt! And the cocktails 🥰🤤😍

It’s a very pretty place. The vibe is different from most places because the music they play isn’t common and it fits the Latin vibe well. The lamb tacos are really tasty but having 2 small tacos on a plate made them feel a bit unsatisfying. But the cocktails are definitely worth the price, they’re tasty and the alcohol content is good.
There’s a lot of plants on the inside, especially the 1st floor so expect to see a small bug or two when sitting close to the greenery

I experienced Mamasamba with a group of friends and we had an overall good time.
I really liked the decor. The food presentation was so pretty and colorful. The food itself was good. Could've been better. I would definitely return.

We celebrated NYE here because it was advertised that they will be hosting with some entertainment. When we arrived at the restaurant we inquired on where the entertainment and music will be, we were assured that both the upstairs and downstairs restaurant areas will have a dj and a music band playing. To our disappointment, midnight was approaching and there had been no entertainment in the downstairs area where we were seated. When we asked the manager about it, all of a sudden this was a miscommunication from the staff. It’s sad that they misrepresented that their establishment will be having something special on NYE just to get customers to spend there. Do better!!!
Aside from our disappointment on having an amazing entertainment filled NYE, I must say the food was delicious and the waiter that was assisting us was a gem.
