I've been here twice now, and both times enjoyed the food. Today we got a sampling of several appetizers, all of which were delicious. I also got the chicken souvlaki in a pita, which was very good. Prompt and courteous service.There is a Saturday afternoon buffet for $15. Ample parking. This place can be a bit difficult to find, as it is off the bldvd, beside the church and through the parking lot.... so I took pics so I can find it again.

The restaurant is beautiful, in front of a swimming-pool. For the food, I am really sorry but something went wrong. I ordered humus, falafel, Lebanese bread and taboulé. My friend ordered chicken legs. When we received our dishes, we found out that there wasn't any couscous in the taboulé. We called a waitress but she couldn't understand what we meant. I am a native French speaker and my friend is fluent in Lingala. We called the manager. He came and we told him that we had never seen or heard of a taboulé like that. He nodded and said he would ask the cook to make another one. He left with the false taboulé. We started to eat the chicken legs, with humus and bread. We weren't pleased because the chicken was too greasy and the humus too oily. About twenty minutes later, another waitress came to our table with the very same taboulé that had been brought away. "Is this a joke?" I asked. - No, it wasn't a joke. They had brought back the false taboulé! I tried to eat a little bit, but it felt like eating grass... Well, and a few hours later, I got a stomachache and I had to throw up. A very unfortunate story... Something went wrong.

Al'Dar

Reviewed By Steeve17

If you want to eat traditional Lebanese food at a fair price, this is the place. Their shawarmas are probably the best in town. For vegetarians, the falafel shawarma is a true delight. For others, as well! I know a bunch of carnivores in Kinshasa who would kill for a falafel shawarma from this restaurant! I am barely exaggerating... From outside it looks shabby and from inside old-fashioned, but don't let that turn you down. When you will see that your food comes almost immediately (please compare with other restaurants in Kinshasa), that everything or almost is surprisingly good and, last but not least, that the bill won't give you a heart attack, you will make it one of your favorite restaurants.

Taverna Communaute Hellenique

Reviewed By Rachel H

Very crowded when we went, and filled with the sounds of people speaking Greek. Our waiter offered wonderful suggestions and we ended up sampling a bit of (almost) everything. The food was wonderful. The food and ambiance may not have been quite up to the same standard as another Greek restaurant in Lubumbashi, but was much less expensive and was quite tasty nonetheless.

L'olive Verte Restaurant And Lounge

Reviewed By Steeve17

We had dinner last night at L'Olive verte. The food was awesome. I had chicken in a lovely coconut sauce, like the one I used to eat in Goa and in Kerala (Southern India) with rice and my friend had a beef lasagna. We both enjoyed our food very much. It's worth the high price, since it is so special for Kinshasa. The drinks are too pricey though. A 250 ml of the most common beer for 5 USD, a basic cocktail for 12 USD,... Is it serious? What we particularly enjoyed was the careful and stylish décor. We sat in front of a colorful swimming-pool, backed by an impressive black wall studded with decorative niches. There was an overhanging mango tree and a palm tree in front of the pool as well. The music was pretty good too... It is definitely a place to hang out!Thank you Steeve P for your honest review.We are a fairly new restaurant and we constantly strive to bring the best quality of food and service to all our clients. we will soon be revising our menu and pricing and we hope to be serving you again! thank you again for reviewing our restaurant.

Rocas Restaurant & grill

Reviewed By SergioBT

I had been told about Rocas before I headed to Kinshasa. I was told to expect the best Spanish cuisine and a fantastic service.Rocas is a professional outlet that is both popular and extremely well managed.Arriving was a pleasure as, I was greeted with a sincere smile and a warm welcome.Food is as Spanish as you're going to get without being in Spain. Great presentation, extremely authentic flavours, Iberian African at its best! And the prices were both keen and approachable.Their best dishes combine the following ingredients: a third of pleasant and polite service, another third of authentic and flavoursome food, and one final third of keen and well-honed prices. To your taste, add some friends as company. You're on to a winner!Thank you Rocas for a great night. My visit to Kinshasa was good but my visit to your restaurant was memorable.

Went there on Sunday for the lunch buffet starting at 13:00.Friendly welcome, food is very good and you have a large choice of meals. For 30$ per adults, I think it s a good value for money taking into account the prices in Kinshasa.Room for improvement in the place itself. The facilities could be renovated, it would not arm...

A Casa Mia

Reviewed By Malarchy

Casa Mia is an Italian restaurant in the Gombe district of Kinshasa just along from the Pullman hotel. It is a restaurant designed with a touch of class though its food offerings are just ok rather than delicious.The private area of the restaurant sits behind sliding glass doors. It contains dozens of bottles along the shelves which at first glance make for a nice backdrop but it is pretty easy to spot the repition as there are only around four different marques amongst them. The private area is useful though as it is quietier than the main area and also less prone to smoke inhalation as it appears that the restaurant permits smoking. The main area is a clean white colour all round and does still have a well-defined and pleasant scheme. The exterior is also nice with a little pathway into the restaurant but not especially dramatic.Service is attentive and quick though payment at the till is frosty and unwelcoming. Conversation is limited aside from the amusement at a French speaking Congolese person correcting pronounciation by using the proper Italian word for a food item. Food came out relatively quickly and in good order. Breads and olive oil were on the table.There are a couple of vegetarian options so it is possible to make a bit of a choice. A mushroom pizza is ok. The pizzas come up pretty large so they are filling. There was a touch of flavour added to the mushrooms but it was not overly noticeable. The base pizza itself was somewhat plain and did not have any additional garnishings or herbs. It was medium cooked, not too crunchy. As a meal it was sustaining though not especially exciting.The price reflects Kinshasa's costs. It is too much for what is a relatively basic pizza. Still, the pizzas are cheaper than the pasta options. While Casa Mia is not fine dining, it offers large portions and a decent atmosphere. An acceptable version of Italian in this part of the world.

Limoncello

Reviewed By Patrick T

For the second time now I was dining in the Limoncello restaurant with colleagues (both Congolese and Belgian). All were fond of the fine Italian meals!You will be received there quietly. The menu offers you a very wide choice of the well-known Italian cuisine. The prices are not low, but you get super good food served! Their pizzas are baked à la minute and are highly recommended.With a fine real Limoncello (from the house) you can finish your successful evening.
