MAMASAMBA is the latest beautifully designed eatery from the Colada Hospitality Group, the pioneers behind Rosebank’s Proud Mary Restaurant and Wine Bar. Opened in December 2022 Mamasamba resembles an indoor jungle, with the space featuring emerald tiling, tall palms, hanging greenery, and a winding green staircase leading to an upper level bar. From day one it's been drawing the crowds.

The menu incorporates a Japanese foundation with Peruvian flavours, like their nikkei sushi which might have an unusual touch like chipotle mayo or smoked asparagus. The kitchen utilises a Josper and Parilla to achieve a smokey depth of flavour in all their food – including pineapples used for charred pineapple salsa, sticky rib marinade, and more.

The bar has an extensive cocktail menu, also with a Latin American flair, and offers 26 tequilas to knock back or sip.
