Heading to Foresters Arms for Sunday lunch is a tradition in Swaziland and one certainly worth checking out. It is something we make sure we do several times a year even though it is a 3 hour drive for us, and also recommend for anyone in the area. The menu can be a bit pretentious by Swazi standards, but the execution is flawless and the atmosphere is exceptional. Well worth setting your afternoon aside for.

We really struggle to find authentic Swazi food until we visited this home made food at eDladeni. Delicious, clean and well prepare !
My kids loved the meat too
I will give 5 stars for the great quality of service and attention to detail.
Happy client !

Mbabane doesn't exactly have an exciting restaurant scene, but Ramblas offers a nice environment with good service and solid food. Came several nights -- mutton and chicken curries, pork ribs, and shrimp all very good. Service is efficient and prices are reasonable.We glad to see your review and that you enjoyed your meals every time, we hope to see you soon.

Who would've thought? A trendy computer store/cafe combination in semi rural Swaziland surroundings. What a nice surprise. Good food, up-to-date comfortable indoor/outdoor Seating area and the usual friendly and efficient Swazi service. Try the crunchy Thai beef salad, but everything looked good. You can even buy the latest computer accessories while you wait.
5. Sibebe Rock Spur

Visited Swaziland recently for business and went out for quick lunch to Sibebe Spur. The food was the predictable average Spur food - not something I necessarily prefer, BUT the service was friendly, efficient and quick. Went back for a second time 2 days later and experienced the same efficient and friendly service. I think we need to send some of the South African waiters to come and learn about service. Keep it up Sibebe Spur - you are great.

I am not a big fan of fast food, but the flame grilled deliciousness periperi flavored chicken has converted me. This particular outlet is in town easy to get to. Lots of sides to choose from and sauce flavours vary from lemon & herb, mild, hot and extra hot.

Guys - I found it really hard to rate you because we couldn’t find you. We drove around and around the various ministries, we found the Alliance Francaise, but not you. We even went into the Ministry of Health to ask about you - and came out with some condoms as a consolation prize.
We found you through TripAdvisor and you looked really interesting. But you gotta either get the address right with the Google map positioning sorted out, or you need to put up a sign. We seriously did try hard, wandering around for about 45 minutes.
I am sorry we missed you as you seemed to be something different in Mbabane.

A great place just off the busy highway near Mbabane. Even though its so close to the highway you wont believe how quite it is the only sound you will hear is the soothing sound of water from the nearby stream. Its got views of a lush African greenery. the food is decent and saved on time. My wife enjoyed the mushroom sauce while i liked the platters. only one waiter but she was quite efficient! the owner was at hand to check on customer satisfaction. Only glitch was that the electronic payment system was acting up and I had to make use of alternative payment methods.

Ignore the parking and ugly exterior - and the take-away counter which is the first thing visible on entering. That smells of chips and is quite off-putting! To the right, inside, is a restaurant which has clearly been recently decorated and furnished. We were greeted by a charming Swazi lady who brought us menus and took drinks orders. No alcohol is served - we think because the owner is Muslim. We ordered curries and a chicken korma. They were all voted outstanding and I would have loved even more salad and sauce with my korma. We had quite a wait for our food - and it was clearly freshly made. We were the only people there and the owner came up to us as our plates were cleared to find out if all was to our liking. We assured him we had had a really enjoyable meal. What a pity it seems not to be well supported.
