He went over the entire menu and provided background information on the dishes, and even brought us the beer bottles to select from. The food was incredible and the prices were very affordable! I highly recommend trying their Sadza and the tomato stew. We will definitely be returning soon.

The food was delicious, although a bit heavy-handed with the pepper, especially on the beef spinach dish. The sadza was outstanding. Unfortunately, La Mandela does not serve hot drinks, which was disappointing as we had to wait 45 minutes for our food without anything to drink. On a chilly day, we didn't have any interest in the cold beverages available.
