Mambu

Beautiful.That is the one word I can use to describe Mambu. Dinner and drinks for two was around eighty dollars which was a good deal for what you get. Go there and you will be delighted.

Mambu is located outside of town in an old house turned into a great ecletic restaurant. Every plate they served was pretty, nothing here is done plain. This is anything but a pizza place. The Margherita Pizza is phenomenal, with it's fluffy crust,almost like the bread they serve in India (Naan Bread). Going to cost you some money to eat here but worth it. The service was wonderful.

I've heard a few people talking about this establishment and have visited a couple times over the past couple months. The food I had, as well as the food sampled by peers of mine, has been mediocre at best. The atmosphere is kitschy, each room having its own decor that looks thrown together from goodwill rejects. From what I've learned of the staff, the cooks are in constant turnaround, which may explain why the food is not consistent. When the restaurant is busy, dishes are often served incorrectly or just forgotten. On my visit, in a party of 10, one patron at our table (the one paying the bill, i might add) waited for 10 minutes for his food while the rest of the party ate. The drinks made by the male bartender working that night were poorly made. The second visit was for lunch and the place was full of obnoxiously loud power lunchers yapping on cell phones while we attempted to eat. Also, there was swearing coming from the kitchen loud enough for our table and other tables around us to hear. I don't know what was going on back there, but I'm guessing yet another cook bit the dust.
Also, the construction going on across the street makes parking a hassle. The noise from the construction during the day is almost intolerable.
I would not recommend Mambu to friends or peers and will not be returning.

The food is very expensive and not exactly worth the price. The atmosphere was nice and the service was good, but for money you can do better.

Pros: Service
Cons: Price and location
