    5* in all categories....The food was so delicious, they nailed on the flavors. Service was so friendly with smiling attendants and they surely outperformed when we secretly told them that we would like to surprise our colleague..in the shortest time possible they pulled an amazing surprise with a tasty passion cake 🍰 💯 incredible

    That garden salad was top notch... I'd ask that they change the infant/toddler seats to something more friendly (plastic is good, and easier to clean). The service was excellent 👍👍 the cocktails special was a good addition and the food was 👍👍👍

    Hmm loved the pizza. They could definitely improve on the service. I was the only one in the restaurant at that time and I still felt not very well served. Will definitely try more dishes though because they are amazing. If the owner is reading this please check on the customer service.Thank you 💛

    Really lovely experience here. The service was wonderful. The lady attending us, Loise, was very helpful. The food was really delicious. I had the Blue Origin Calzone and my friend had the fillet steak with pepper sauce. It was a calm and refreshing visit on an Early Sunday afternoon. The terrace seating was lovely as well as the view of the water park below.

    Mambo Italia is a good restaurant. The portions are fine and commensurate with the pricing. I didn't have any complain about the food or service. But on the other hand, there is nothing like super exquisite about them (although the waitress was super pleasant). I would go back.

    So me and my queen been today enjoying at Mambo restaurant and of course we ordered a fresh homemade pizza. Was very tasty made at rustic oven I assume because looks like and the taste too. Was cook very well at my humble opinion and we loved it. I can say I prefer the border of the pizza a bit bigger and dipping in cheese sauce or fresh homemade sauce but anyway was good enough for my tasting and the size for that price could be bigger. But the juices was good and the waiter kendy was very kind and very servicial.

    Great ambiance and super view. Waiter service below average. No body was bothered whether we enjoyed our meal or not. Food and coffee arrived cold. Food was pathetic & terribly expensive. Definitely not coming back. Cannot recommend the place to anyone. We just paid for good photos. We had a courteous happy birthday song for my daughter....though it sounded quite hurried.

    Limited vegetarian options. We ordered the fungi pizza which was average. The garlic bread was good. Service was quick and friendly.

    Great customer service, very nice and considerate staff. Rosemary and another server had our table and they made the experience extra special. Definitely going back, food was good and looking forward to trying the other menu items. Any recommendations?

    Uniquely designed structure and space, love the use of wood creatively, customer service was great, food came in good time and it was delicious!!! Their pizzas are remarkable. You get a nice view of the garden city water park for kids as well as the landscape should you sit outside.

    The design of the place is definitely unique. The seats are made out of carved wood. The waiters are polite. Their pizza isn't the best, but they do have a variety of cocktails to try out. This is the kind of place to visit when you want to try things that are not from a franchise like Pizza Inn.

    I loved the ambience, the service was great also but I didn't like that we had to wait for a while before the food arrived. I, for one loved the chicken but hated the mocktail I had (forgot the name), it was not in any way tasty, just bland. My partner ordered a cocktail, he also didn't like it but his lasagna was great. Will we visit again? Not sure.

  • 5/5 Annah W. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is a cool chilling spot in the 🌚 evening

  • 5/5 brian i. 2 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Sejal B. 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    I wouldn't go back here, we ordered pizzas, they were very chewy, compared to the price not worth. We ordered fries the waitress didn't even bother to tell us they are not available until after 30 mins. Then she brought us the wrong bill . Looked very confused. Very pricey and quantity too little. Not worth it .

  • 5/5 Life As M. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 henry a. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty serene, not crowded like the regular food court and dining spaces, the food prices are moderate for an Italian restaurant. You should try the cocktails they are nice. Good service and ambience

  • 3/5 Ray M. 2 years ago on Google
    The steak is juicy, the rustic look gives it an edge over the rest of the restaurants. Service is good too.

  • 4/5 nyambura m. 2 years ago on Google
    I liked the food. And the wine is pretty decent. The service however is quite slow.

  • 4/5 George W. 5 years ago on Google
    Mambo Italia at the garden city mall has always been the place to go to for authentic healthy food. The setting is awesome. Outdoor sitting is a default for us. Nearby live bands always give that extra touch... The staff keep changing but they're still good folk, happy and always willing to help. The menus changed a bit, not so good for a very specific and particular diner like me... Now the portions are microscopic!!!Who's advising you guys!?? (Resolved) Returned for a last time chance... And was surprised at how good the dish served turned out to be...

  • 4/5 trevor f. 2 years ago on Google
    The food there is really nice and the service was quite fast

  • 4/5 Patricia K. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was speedy. Nice ambiance but the seats are terribly uncomfortable. I gather they're fashioned from the canoes hanging around. I was in a hurry to leave because of the discomfort. The food was good though. Beef lasagna and spaghetti & meatballs. Filling portions.

  • 5/5 Grace W. 2 years ago on Google

    I have been a very loyal customer at your establishment, but today, your customer service attendants could not set me up a table with my family despite me demonstrating that there was enough space to do so... I am regretting my loyalty to you pple. It's a shame if that's the way we get treated for our loyalty..

  • 3/5 Samuel M. 2 years ago on Google
    They offer an great range of pizzas.. amazing toppings and even a build-it-yourself option of you're feeling adventurous. The milkshakes are good also. Cold reception from their staff, however, would make me think twice about visiting again.

  • 3/5 Mic M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good pizza but everything else is just 50/50. Cocktails, in particular, are nothing to write home about. Staff could also improve on timely order delivery. Overall, not too shabby, but definitely not worth the price point

  • 5/5 p I. 2 years ago on Google
    To enjoy quality time with loved ones, while sharing the most delicious meals, there is no better restaurant than Mambo Italiano. Thank you for making my birthday memorable.

  • 5/5 Kennedy W. 8 months ago on Google
    Great pizzas, great service. Would definitely visit again!

  • 5/5 Ian O. 3 years ago on Google
    A very nice pizza place, went there and built the pizza we wanted ourself, very innovative offer, the combinations available means you can either make an awesome pizza (like we did) or your pizza can bomb, I like that their menu has that option. They have made it very hard for you to make a bad pizza which is nice. Awesome decor, fantastic staff, their lemonade is also fantastic. I highly recommend this establishment.

  • 4/5 Rosebelle O. 5 years ago on Google
    The servers were attentive. The menu was wider, catering to different tastes in addition to their vegetarian offering: gluten free pizza base, shared jumbo pizzas, shared platters, vegan options, dairy free deserts. The sandwich bread is thick, no need for additional fries. The outside sitting space was nice but could get very windy, shaking the umbrellas. They are sturdy, those umbrellas, but for a first timer they were a distraction - I feared that they would fall on my head. Just one teeny problem - they had no dairy free sauce so my friend had to have a really dry red snapper and chips meal.

  • 5/5 EVANS M. 3 years ago on Google
    It was my first time trying out Italian dishes. I ordered a pizza (buffalo....), I can't recall the full name. It was good. They have lots of other dishes to explore and lots of pizzas too with interesting names. I loved the service. The waiter was friendly and guided us on what to select. She also checked on us to find out how much we were enjoying the new experience.
