A Playground in the Concrete Jungle
MamaSamba offers Rosebank-goers a playground in the concrete jungle. The unique and trendy restaurant is split over two levels, each offering a distinct dining experience. On the ground floor, you can enjoy mesmerising views of the live-fire kitchen and the bustling Rosebank Square. This is where the magic happens. Here is where the chefs work their magic, creating dishes that are aesthetically pleasing, and scrumptious to the palate.
Climbing up the spiral staircase will take you through the cocktail bar and into the supper-club lounge, where you can dine to the beats of the streets. The atmosphere is electric, with the rhythmic sounds of Latin music, creating a culinary experience that's both lively and intimate.
A Feast for the Eyes
Not only does MamaSamba offer a delicious feast on a plate, but it also has a feast for the eyes. The restaurant's visually appealing two-story location will give you a feel of the jungle, mixed together with a dash of carnival. As you walk through the front door, you’re in the heart of the jungle, surrounded by many different shades green and interesting decor, views of the open kitchen and well-designed circular bar. The design celebrates Latin American culture, complete with vibrant colours and patterns.
The marble and green spiral staircase leading upstairs is a sight to behold, taking you to a trendy and playful bar and sitting area, perfect for guests looking to unwind with a sundowner after work, or to start your night with a bang. The restaurant has loads of Instagrammable features that you'll want to post all over your feed. These include beautiful floor patterns, the designer staircase, art displays, and of course, the unmissable gorilla behind the bar... literally. There's a photo opportunity around every corner, making MamaSamba a must-visit for all.
