Mamma's Shabeen - Greenside

This weeks adventure takes us to Mamma's Shabeen a tiny place with Decor much like what you would expect from a place with that name. Corrugated iron and cheesy walls very cool indeed. So yeah now to the reason that we were there. We arrived the waiters were all very eager to help us out. Although it did take a number of attempts to actually place the order. Finally when the drinks arrived they came in jars which I personally think was a great idea. Major thing lacking was no garnishing was added for flair. In general the taste was Ok i would put it close to a News Cafe. All in all not bad and its nice and different place to go.

Rob says:

Presentation: As I was expecting, the drinks came in rather interesting glassware... Jam jars to be precise and whilst they look a tad on the small side, they are deceptively big drinks. No lemon or any kind of garnish, left the drink feeling a little incomplete. (6/10)

Taste: A little disappointing, another venue that uses sour mix and far to much of it. Strong, but not overpowering in terms of alcohol content. Very Mediocre. (5/10)

Service:Well, when we arrived we had a stream of waiters asking us about drinks and literally were fighting them off, in hindsight I think it was because we had a camera with us, and unknown to us at the time, several celebrities were in the corner table having a bit of a party. Service unfortunately went out the window at this point, and we struggled to get our second drinks. (4/10)

Overall, I'm giving the place a down the middle (5/10)

No M-Score again, our measuring system was in use elsewhere.
