What to Expect
GOAT, formerly Mama Africa, sits in the Landela Complex and reviewers describe a relaxed, decorated space with live music most nights. Craig (July 2026) called it “Amazing local food in the most relaxed atmosphere”, and Sladja (August 2025) rated it “an excellent restaurant with warm, attentive staff and the best coffee in town”.
The Zambezi bream, oxtail stew and Shona chicken in peanut butter sauce come up often. Wayne (April 2026) said the oxtail stew special “was delicious”, and Ajay (June 2025) had the Zambezi bream, well spiced, and said “you could taste the fresh water”. Jacolien (September 2024) singled out the loaded fries as “perfectly crispy” and mentioned the complimentary peanuts and popcorn served on arrival.
Prices draw praise next to other Victoria Falls venues: Alexander (March 2025) called them “really good compared to other tourist traps in town”. The one recurring gripe is the early close, with dinner orders stopping around 9pm. Wendy (June 2024), visiting under the new management after the Mama Africa name change, recommends the Hunter's Zim Pot and a well-cooked sirloin steak.

GOAT is an excellent restaurant with warm, attentive staff and the best coffee in town. Perfectly located in the centre of Victoria Falls, it has a lovely atmosphere and even live music on some evenings.
★★★★★
The food here is great. There are local dishes as well as a couple of dishes for the not so adventurous. Oxtail stew was the special and it was delicious the also had as a special Buffalo stew. The staff were very friendly.
★★★★★
During our recent trip to Victoria Falls, we stumbled upon a gem that quickly became our favorite dining spot. This inviting restaurant may not focus on artistic presentations, but what it lacks in flair, it more than makes up for in flavor.
★★★★★
We’re so glad our driver recommended this place. Under new management (used to be Mama Africa) they deserve to do well. Helpful staff explain the dishes and the cocktails are very good.
★★★★★
If you looking for an authentic experience in Vic falls this is the place. The vibe the food the service is all brilliant. No other restaurant matches up to their ambiance. This is a true west African restaurant. Well done. Live music from Tuesdays till Saturdays.
