The Boma is nestled between embassies and government buildings and within 10 minutes drive of the main shopping and commercial districts, so it is a busy place especially over lunch times as it has a tastey buffet on offer. You can find the Boma in Longacres at the old and prestigious Lusaka Club. The Boma makes an ideal place to have a business lunch or meet up with friends and family over lunch. Many visitors, consultant aid workers and other NGO staff like to taste Zambian food. The Boma African Restaurant offers that opportunity – a place where you can enjoy Zambian delicacies in the pleasant surroundings of the Lusaka Club with it's relaxing covered outside setting with overhanging greenery.

Zambia is rightly proud of its culture and its food. By special arrangement the Boma will host an evening for a large group, with traditional entertainment so guests can savour the African experience, Zambian style! Prepare to be served with food, song, dance and refreshments for a relaxing and enjoyable evening at the Boma African Restaurant. The Boma also caters for other special events where, on request, more westernized food can be served. Outside catering is also available, delivered to a home or place of work.Lusaka restaurant information
