Cantinho do Aziz

After these years, it was sooo good to be back in Lisbon and to revisit this restaurant. While it serves African cuisine, it has a subtle touch of Portuguese flavors. The prices are reasonable, and I highly recommend their Curry Prawns. The meat samosas are also incredibly tasty.

Took the family here last night and was very impressed. Food was all delicious, and portions were generous. Prices were much more reasonable than most places we've eaten in Lisbon. Highly recommend!

We have 3 different Samosas (beef, chicken, and chicken). The samosas are delicious and the sauce for samosas is good but careful since it is really spicy. I ordered Chicken Muamba and my husband got the Piripiri Chicken. The chickens are tasty.

Don’t come to Lisbon and miss eating here! I had 5 Samosas for lunch and let me tell you the outside was perfectly crispy crunchy and the inside beef filling was extremely flavorful topped with a Peri Peri sauce, made my day! I can’t wait to return for dinner and try their main plates many of which have been reviewed in international publications! The owner greets you with a huge smile and makes you feel like you’ve come home!

My first encounter with African cuisine and I don’t regret that I stumbled upon this place. As so often, I can’t remember how it happened, where the impulse came from. But does it matter? On one Saturday in February we set out to check what it would be like to have African food for lunch. Although the place is somewhat hidden, it is well frequented, as it turned out over time. So, if you want to make sure you don’t need to wait for a table, book one upfront. There are lots of seats outside, which is certainly real fun to spent time. But since the weather wasn’t with us that day, we went for a table inside. The staff was attentive the whole time, nice and helpful. First we tried beer from Mozambique which has its own taste for sure. It was an experience, it wasn’t bad. But I wouldn’t need to have it again. Since I never had goat meat before, I went for this and it was a delight. Prepared in Coconut oil and served with rice, it was tasty, smooth and put a sort of twist upon my tongue. I was ask if I’d like to try some hot sauce with it and this made it even better. The steaks my friend went for were grilled to the point, came with rice, fries and buttered, grilled corn and it was quite a lot. There was a desert on the menu, passion fruit mousse, and we had to try it. Carefully we ordered on of it with two spoons and this was a good decision. It was a fairly large portion and nothing but delicious. The coffee came strong and surprisingly big compared to most places around. This place is strongly recommended it will be visited again, since they have a lot more to offer which I am tempted to try. For my, for example, it’ll most probably one of their dishes with prawns.

In the most unassuming restaurant you can find, you will find the most impressive flavors! This was truly a magnificent meal. The owner is amazing, really kind happy and gave us a bit of a history lesson!! We met the chef, chef Jenny who was the nicest person too! Now about the star, the food. Omg it was an explosive fusion of flavors and regions that is indescribable. It had traces of India, Africa and Portugal! We had shrimp on three ways, mine had curry and coconut milk, my mom’s was another and so was my sister’s. I tried all and cannot say which was better. I would say, get one of each and you be the judge. Price to food ratio was good too.

The service was really superb. It felt very personal and very homely. Really heartily done dishes though the flavours are a bit muted. I had the prawn banana curry, mango mocktail and mango mousse. The portions were great. I'd go there again to try out the other things on their menu.

Very local eatery in an interesting neighborhood. Great food from Mozambique. Not fancy but delicious food. One of stops with Oh My Cod food tours with our guide, Miguel.
