Mazi Mas

Mazi Mas is Greek for 'eat with us' and believe me, you should!

Ovalhouse is currently playing host to a brilliant new innovative pop up restaurant Mazi Mas. The restaurant supports immigrant women who struggle to find work or are not supported in the search for work. Click here to read their story. 

These women bring their culture and culinary skills together to bring us boring Brits a fiesta of flavours every day of the week. Every day a different chef, from a different country takes over the kitchen to introduce us to their home country's pallet. Click here to read each chef's story.

Roberta Siao from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil happened to be the chef last night when I visited this wonderful idea of a restaurant. We chose the cheese bread pictured above as it had the chef's name by it so we were sure it had to be something special - it was so delicious. 

It is a compliment, I hope, to Roberta that as soon as the Moqueca - fish (or pumpkin for the veggies) in a coconut milk, peppers, lime and coriander - came to the table, all thoughts of cameras disappeared as the aroma wafted up our noses and it was only once I was taking my last bite that I remembered I hadn't taken a photo! 

All in all it was a fabulous meal and I know I will be back to sample some of the other chef's work.The company brings you food from Brazil, Iran, Ethiopia, Turkey, Senegal and Peru. If you like your food authentic, this is the place to go!
