Situated a short distance away from the centre of Paco de Arcos and unlike any of the other restaurants in the town. Not a very extensive menu but everything was full of flavour. The owner recommended we share a single portion of Mozambique prawn curry and he was right that there was plenty of rice and sauce for two, but it did mean we only had 10/12 prawns each. Samosa starters nice desserts and small beers for two came to only €23 which is fantastic value. As I said, the owner was such a lovely guy to talk to and most of the clientele were locals, which is often a good sign.

I visited with Mozambican family and friends and, although we did like the food, we had had other expectations. Everyone had the curry, some the crab version, others the shrimp and one had the vegetarian option. Samosas were good but quite spicy. Staff is friendly and the owner was around and enthusiastically told us about when he opened the restaurant.
