Reviews Summary

Radio Cairo offers a delightful escape with its eclectic fusion of African, Indian, and Caribbean flavors, set in a vibrant and colorful atmosphere. Diners rave about the tender ribs, perfectly cooked barramundi, and unique appetizers like crocodile wings. While the food and ambiance are often praised, some guests have noted that portion sizes can be small for the price, and service can be strained during busy periods.

"We had a wonderful time at Radio Cairo! We've lived in Mosman for over 3 years, and I can't believe we hadn't tried it before. The ambience is warm and inviting, with beautiful decor from around the world, but most importantly, the food was incredible.

We definitely over-ordered (still not sure how we managed to finish everything! 😅), but everything was so worth it. We tried:

- Kim's Chicken Lollipops – spicy and delicious
- Flatbread with caramelised onion and cheddar – absolutely amazing
- Kingston roast eggplant – good, though our least favourite
- Lamb sosaties skewers – tender and flavourful
- Cajun barramundi fillets – perfectly cooked and seasoned
- Cuban Juju sirloin steaks – I loved it 💯
- Coconut sambal – simple but effective
Plus one of the desserts from the specials: the perfect ending to the meal!

It was truly a feast! The only downside was the small café-style table, which made it hard to fit all our dishes. Next time, we'll request a regular table or sit outside, it looked lovely despite being on a busy road.

Cocktails were great too, and the service was friendly and welcoming. We're already looking forward to coming back.
Thank you for such a memorable meal!"

"Been coming here for years. Never disappoints, always high quality food and friendly service. Cozy atmosphere with beautiful decor. Perfect venue for a date, or for a smaller group of friends/family to catch up over what I think is one of the best venues in the area. Can’t recommend enough!"

"Just YUM 🤤 an extremely satisfying meal.
We had seen the restaurant from outside on a walk & loved the look. We got back to our room and looked up their website.
Unfortunately their website doesn’t do their menu Justice and that is a great shame.

We are staying nearby and had looked at the menus online and had honestly decided to give it a think….? While we discovered what else is nearby.

The location has some great dining choices within a 10 min walk up each direction of Military rd,. From the Oaks to a kebab, or a great Thai worth waiting for…. The list is long and competition high.

A couple of days had past and, I noticed an enticing sight, as there was an overflow of diners to the outdoor dining areas on a chilly night & decided, if they are willing to sit there & dine, the food must be worth it.

THEY ARE RIGHT 👍🏼🤤😋🤩

Determined, the next night (Sunday) my partner and I made our way to Radio Cairo and were placed on an available inside table.
They were again busy and friendly.

From the smells walking in, our appetites grew as large as our eyes at the comforting surrounds. It felt a bit like home with the darker colours, relaxed cozy atmosphere and a low hum of diners oh with oldie movies playing silently in the background left us plenty to look at while there.

after a Quick look at the share menu, we had some Flat Brad & stuffed olives ordered and on their way.

We decided on 4 share meals & a main along with a slash of a delicious SA Red - Delicious.

I highly recommend you share;
-The flat bread with caramelised onion
- The Salmon Ceviche
- the Lamb

We talked to 3 staff, all of them delightful and ready, when asked, with suggestions or advice on meal/wine selection.

We did order too much, and our stomachs and wallet felt it 😜 but in a good way.

We will be going back soon for an encore- perhaps you will too 🤤🤩"

Your essential guide to Mosman

This Moroccan/Sri Lankan/Jamaican mash-up (yes, really) is popular with locals that swing by for a meat fix after an early screening at the Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace across the street. The food menu runs the gamut from super addictive "afro" potato fries to five-hour spicy lamb shanks, and each dish comes with an exotic anecdote whether you want it or not. They have a reasonable cocktail list, a lengthy tequila list, and a budget-friendly wine list.

Ate here over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The menu has a fantastic variety and all the dishes we tried were delicious. Most dishes being gluten-free and dairy-free is also much appreciated, as this enables most of the menu to be tried rather than limiting those with dietary restrictions.
