Food
Mama’s mixed grill is a popular combo of all kinds of meat; you name it, they have it – in generous portions, served with samp and pap. A choice of Malay specialities gives the menu a Cape flavour.

Wine
A good selection of sturdy, well-priced wines suit the gameheavy menu.

Service
Suitably laid-back waitrons are keen to guide you on your culinary safari, but don’t look for anything in a rush.

Ambience
Expect busloads of young tourists eating to the strains of a Congolese band in the bar.

And...
Mama is in the heart of buzzing Long Street, so grab a cocktail somewhere trendy to whet your appetite. (RH)
