Mama Loo's

Frommer's Review

Many people come here just to hang out in the bar of this engaging and stylish restaurant. But if you're in the mood for a good Chinese meal, you'll be ushered to a table in a circular dining room with a ceiling draped with peach-colored fabric that evokes a plushly decorated tent. Sophisticated and with a decor that seems to encourage both your sense of humor and your sense of camp, it suggests Shanghai during the British colonial age. The menu includes dishes from the Szechuan, Cantonese, Polynesian, and Caribbean repertoire. The best dish on the menu is Mama Loo's Shanghai lobster broiled with Asian spices and served with broccoli flavored with ginger. Two specialties we also like are shrimp in spicy chile sauce with a peanut sauce on the side, and deep-fried chicken filets with honey-garlic sauce. Even their spicy conch salad puts an Asian twist on an otherwise local Bahamian staple.
