A vibrant enclave embodying the spirit and rich flavours of West Africa, has opened its doors in the heart of Singapore’s Duxton neighbourhood. Founded by Kurt Wagner, Tamba is a deeply personal journey inspired by Wagner’s childhood in Liberia and dedicated to his late adopted brother, after whom the restaurant is named.
The culinary philosophy pays homage to West African luxury and home comforts, offering dishes like Jollof Rice, Sakura chicken, and Tapalapa bread with goat’s milk ricotta, drizzled with house-smoked honey and smoked bacon butter. Head Chef Darren’s house favourite, Suya, also features Angus tenderloin skewers. The ever-changing assortment of signature house specials, smoked to perfection, promises a unique dining experience.
The bar showcases an imaginative menu using over 60per cent African spirits, telling chapters of Tamba’s life through each drink. Expect creative concoctions like the savoury tomato cocktail Dry Boney, and a clarified milk cocktail called The Next Pele.
