Nkoko Juice Bar
Juice shop
👍👍 Super chill juice bar with friendly staff. I got the Nkoko special which was just sugarcane, ginger, lime, and mint. I'll definitely return to try a few more items off the menu before I leave.

👍👍 Orchid is just fantastic! Anyone in Lilongwe should have an amazing meal here. A great atmosphere and flavors that jump off the plate. If you have a group, the large sampler is a must. For the main meal, you will love the fish dish on rice which had the most flavor. We did family style and ate a bit...
