10/10Food excellent, very well-cooked and presented, lacked fancy frills and irrelevancies. The service, especially by a young lady from Nepal, was beyond first class, charming, instantaneous, non-intrusive, and all accomanied by an enchanting happy smile. A blythe spirit, a member of a superb team. The room is beautiful, as the view would have been except it was dark outside.

2/10
A complete disappointment. The way that the staff was being disrespectful, dismissive and homophobic was surreal. You could notice a difference between mine and partner’s table and the other one with straight single women. The staff treated them much better. I guess there’s such a thing as preferential treatment. The staff barely spoke to us. Removed plates without even asking. And forgot to provide THEFORK discount. To simplify, not the best experience.

7.5/10great place and atmosphere. everything is very well designed with beautiful details, from the porcelains to the interiors. Food taste was very good but my main course (Zambeian Chicken) was just bones. I told to the waiter and I didn't get any feedback. i was expecting someone to come to the table and apologize since it is not cheap. I was a bit disappointed to say the least . all the rest was great

8.5/10The food was good, unfortunately one member of our party was not served until we had all finished. Nothing we ordered required additional cooking time.

6/10Amazing view, very nice food, but service a disaster. Very slow, rude and careless, 20 minutes waiting for the wine, waiters shouting the name of your plate, no smile, no attention. Too bad, as the rest is fine

8/10Restaurant is stylish and in good location. Food was good, portions were very hot and of good size. However, compared to price, quality was average, nothing special. Meat and vegetables were slightly overcooked. Display was dull. Service was friendly enough and attentive, but Yamms-discount wasn´t taken into account directly. Also, when we ordered two soups for starters, waiter asked whether we like some bread with it. It was an unpleasent suprise, that the bread costed more than two soups.

10/10We loved the ambiance, the view, excellent and very amicable service. Food was out of this world:served on exquisite plates, prepared on a real Mozambican way, our waiter new a lot about Maputo,where some of stayed frequently many years ago. We also enjoyed the little lanes in Alfama which we had to "navigate" to locate "Zambeze".
