Just love the food and the owners. Friendly and fast with great results. Chicken livers amazing. Sadza and grilled 1/4 chicken with kale and the additional gravy for the pap was fantastic. Kom mense wat van pap hou probeer hulle...

I am so happy that I was one of their 1st customers. I ordered Beef Tripe and it did not disappoint! I can't wait until the Beef Trotters arrive. I hope there will be chicken feet and gizzards on the menu... hint hint. I finally found a take away joint to satisfy my tastebuds... instead of having to ordor burgers and fries and pizza. REAL FOOD. THE TYPE OF FOOD YOUR MAMMA MAKES. THE TYPE OF FOOD THAT NOT ONLY FILLS THE STOMACH, BUT SATISFY THE SOUL! Go have a try....

Was trying to find a word to best describe PapMama, this was the best I could come up with; “Tastes like home”. Just had one of my favourites, the shisanyama lite and listen, I’m so full and left a little to have for breakfast😀. Best food. Best service. All the deliciousness I want at my own convenience. Thank you PapMama
