Mamasamba is a famous restaurant in South Africa. A playground in the concrete jungle where the sun warms your face and fire ignites the night. Where the vines sway and the birds dance. A land rich in bold flavors and distinctive beats.
Their restaurant is split over two levels. On the ground floor, you can dine while enjoying mesmerizing views of their live-fire kitchen and the bustling Rosebank square. A journey up the spiral staircase takes you through their cocktail bar into their supper-club lounge, where you can dine in the streets’ beats. They offer a counter-dining ceviche bar that flows into their main dining lounge.
Here, you can dine while their Chefs prepare Nikkei-inspired sushi dishes. A journey up the spiral staircase takes you into their Gorilla bar, where you’ll find an oasis of sipping rums, tequilas, and gorgeous cocktails. Their cocktail bar leads out onto the jungle terrace, where time slows down, and your heartbeat quickens to their world-class live-form lineup.
