Mimba's African Cuisine — Restaurant in Loures

Amazing review for Mimba's African Cuisine

Where do I begin.... we travelled to Lisbon to celebrate my mum's 70th birthday and my mum wanted to eat Nigerian food on her birthday. As this was our first time travelling to Portugal we did a google search of African restaurants in Lisbon. Many of the restaurants served Angolan/Portuguese cuisine.

We stumbled upon Mimba's African cuisine and saw that although they were not a Nigerian restaurant, they served many of our local delicacies including Egusi soup, Pounded yam and Jollof rice!!! We contacted Mimba (the owner) to book a reservation for my mum's birthday and realised that the owner is Cameroonian (neighbours to Nigeria)!

On the night of my mums birthday they had a special event 'This is Africa' happening, where they had a buffet, African fashion show and music playing!!! We booked for this event as we knew my mum would love it and we were even offered a discounted rate!!! Mimba was very helpful and let us know how to make the payment and asked what he could do to make mum's birthday special.

When we arrived at the restaurant Mimba was exceptionally friendly and was a great host. He introduced us to the guests, provided us with a variety of drinks- including juice/water and 'Top' (Cameroonian drink) and he even played 'Sweet mama' while all the guests sang for my mum. My mum felt like a queen on her birthday and it really made her day!

And not forgetting that the food was extremely tasty especially the grilled fish, jollof rice and the Egusi soup. Hats off to the chef for cooking up such a storm. We had an early morning flight to catch so we had to leave before the event ended, however we were pleased to find out later that my mum was awarded 'best dressed' on the night!

Thank you Mimba and the team for making us feel so welcome on the night and accommodating us. You contribute to making my mum's 70th birthday a huge success! We will certainly come back to visit when we are next in Lisbon and would recommend your restaurant to others who want a...

Mimba's African Cuisine is the best bet for anyone looking for a place to dine or order African food in Lisbon, Portugal. I and my husband were looking for a place to eat any African or Nigerian delicacy at about 10pm, when we came across their website. It was surprising to see that their restaurant opens till 2am. We enjoyed Eba and Egusi with lots of dried fish and meat alongside a Cameroonian pineapple soft drink which we tried for the first time. We had a wonderful conversation with the restaurant team who also played Nigerian genres for us which made us feel at home.They have topnotch customer service. I strongly recommend Mimba's African Cuisine as it is also very close to the...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mimba's African Cuisine and I cannot recommend it enough! The food was absolutely delicious and truly transported me to the heart of Africa with every bite. The flavors were rich and vibrant, and the portions were very generous.
