    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 metro station.

    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 'taste of Africa'!

    MIMBA’s African Cuisine ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing restaurant. We were looking for a Nigerian esque cuisine to celebrate my mum’s birthday. We came across this restaurant and the reviews enticed us. While not Nigerian it serves Nigerian-esque cuisine (defo close cousins being Cameroonian ☺️). Making arrangements with the owner Mimba was fantastic. He was very hospitable and accommodating. On the day the food and service was first class. My mum felt treated like a Queen and at the end everyone coming around to sing with her and take photos just made the day. Thank you Mimba and the team. We will definitely be back.

    The first time I ordered for delivery. I got okra soup and fufu. It was amazing. The second time I ordered beignets and beans. Very well done. The third time I ordered egusi and fufu. I really enjoyed it. I really appreciated the fact that they have a vegan option for those who don't eat meat or fish. I encourage everyone to try this restaurant. It is very good and the owner is very knowledgeable. I will order again there and bring my friends to try. Thanks for the excellent service and food.
