read moreLe Mandela restaurant offers delightful African dishes with a few service hiccups. The food is delicious, authentic, and reasonably priced. Unfortunately, the customer service can be slow and disorganized at times. Some visitors had to wait for hours or encountered unhelpful staff. The atmosphere is vibrant, but the music can be too loud, and COVID-19 precautions are lacking. The must-try dish is the grilled fish with homemade chili sauce. Overall, Le Mandela is a unique experience worth trying for excellent food, despite some service and accessibility issues. Be prepared for a potentially lengthy wait for your meal.
