Cantinho do Aziz

This was my first and will be my last time coming to this restaurant. I was very excited to come to Lisbon to experience some traditional African cooking. This is not the place to have that experience. We arrived at the restaurant today around 1pm on a Wednesday afternoon. Despite the restaurant being empty the waitress (I believe her name was Radha) refused to let us sit at the table of our choice because she was in the middle of cleaning and did not want to have to travel that far to deliver our food. I wish I could make this stuff up. She recommended the N’Biji with Seafood. I was shocked when she brought the dish out with imitation crab instead of real crab meat. Overall the flavor was decent, but nothing I would come back for. Really disappointing experience. I really hope the waitress just chooses to stay home next time she’s having a bad day.

Grains of salt may need to be taken as it’s only my first night in Lisbon, but this spot is a must for a night in the city. I’m here in early November and the vibes were immaculate. Wine and beer is reasonably priced, the outdoor seating allows you to take in the energy of the community without feeling like you’re imposing. I had the prawns curry and it was one of the best curry dishes I’ve had. Make this a part of your itinerary immediately!

Radha was a great host last night! Everything was so amazing we came back for lunch again today!!!! The Samosas were delish (all 3) the shrimp curry and the rotisserie chicken were amazing!!!!! Thank you so much!

The meal was amazing, and Radha was amazing. Not only did she give us great insight on what we should try but we gave us a deep background of the restaurant. We had a lovely experience, thank you Radha!

If you want the food the locals eat, come to Cantinho do Aziz! We came across it with a food tour and immediately returned for more. Radha was wonderful and the food was divine. Samosas, goat, lamb, and seafood! We'll be returning on our next trip, for sure!
