Ma Ma Moi — Restaurant in Lismore

Pretty bad experience today unfortunately. We came today for a coffee and a little breakfast.

We arrived and have been told that all the tables were booked - fair enough it is Xmas eve and didn’t reserved - so happy to stay at the counter outside. (During the hour that we stayed at the cafe, in average 2 to 3 tables were empty at the same time)

We signed in and pop our head inside the cafe to have a look to the display fridge to choose a piece of cake. We are welcomed by a loud “guys, out!” From the barista. Definitely not friendly. We understand that the cafes have to apply some Covid rules, and respect this at all time. but a better communication around it could avoid this confusion (if they reach the max people inside), and also a better way to talk to people.

we ordered the coffees first, and then the breakfast. We got the coffees pretty quickly, but waited over an hour, still no food. We asked the waitress - she seemed a bit confused, but came back and said the chef was making them fresh, it is why it was taking so long. We gave it another 10mn and decided to pay for the coffees and leave without breakfast.

Highly recommend the big breakfast. Wish we were here to try the lunch & dinner menu too. We will be back for sure. A very relaxed atmosphere and we don’t want to leave. Good for singles, gays couples, straight couples, families or even a group of friends. Actually feels like...

Tenango Coffee roasters coffee from Ballina is superb. The soft shell crab is served with an unusual curry sauce that's delicious. This soft shell crab is perhaps the best I've eaten. The fried rice with king prawns was a little underwhelming as it wasn't overly tasty but had 4 nicely cooked king prawns and lots of veggies. It was a sizable plateful. The honey soy karagge was sweet, with a little spice and tasty. Service was friendly and fast. Prices were up there...
