Restaurant Mombo — Restaurant in Palma

I truly wanted to love this place, but unfortunately, it ended up being one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had — and it left a really bad taste in my mouth, both literally and figuratively.

From the moment we sat down, we were treated poorly. We waited over 20 minutes before anyone even approached our table. When our server finally arrived, she greeted us by saying she was “okay and very tired” not exactly the warm welcome you'd expect from a fine dining establishment. Without offering any explanation of the menu or asking if we had any questions, she immediately asked for our order.

We ordered about seven appetizers and two entrées. To be fair, the appetizers were some of the best things I’ve eaten on this trip. But when they cleared the final dish which we had specifically asked to keep. Then came a 30-minute wait before our entrées arrived, unceremoniously dropped at our table with no explanation or attention. The entrées themselves were disappointing. The short rib was extremely dry, and the scallops lacked flavor and finesse, especially surprising given the strength of the starters.

Still, what truly ruined the experience was our server. From the start, she treated us with an attitude that made us feel like we were unwelcome or had done something wrong. She looked visibly annoyed every time she came over, never once checked in during the long waits between courses, and didn’t offer us the opportunity to order more drinks or anything else.

The entire experience was deeply disappointing and left us feeling genuinely uncomfortable as we left. Even though the majority of the food was excellent, the service was so unpleasant that I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to anyone. No one deserves to be treated like that while dining out especially at a restaurant that seems to pride...

Mambo Restaurant Review

Nestled in the heart of the city, Mambo offers a dining experience that is as vibrant and welcoming as its name suggests. Our recent lunch at Mambo was a delightful journey through fresh, flavorful dishes and exceptional service.

The menu at Mambo is a celebration of fresh, high-quality ingredients, and our dishes certainly did not disappoint. We began with the prawn carpaccio, a beautifully presented plate of sweet, succulent prawns that tasted as fresh as the sea. The avocado salad, served in an innovative roll shape, was a symphony of flavors and textures that left us eager for more.

For our main courses, The whole monkfish, prepared in spiced olive oil, was a standout dish—tender, flaky, and bursting with flavor. The succulent roasted pork was another highlight, with juicy meat that melted in our mouths.

The restaurant was fully booked for lunch, a testament to its popularity. Many of the diners seemed to be regulars, engaging in lively chats with the staff, which added to the convivial atmosphere. We highly recommend it for anyone seeking a delightful...
