Budget
Nando's
Moeshoeshoe rd - good chicken, portuguese style
KFC
Kingsway - chicken
White Box Food
Not a restaurant, but a good budget eating option - on kingsway at lunchtime lots of food vendors are cooking up chicken, pork, rice and papa and serving it to the office workers in town for around m12-m15 a box - very tasty and very filling
M'editerranea Pizza
just off pioneer rd, near ok supermarket - good fresh pizza, by far the best coffee in town, great atmospheric music.
Mimmo's Italian Deli
United nations rd - nice decor, variable food, including very garlicy pizzas and pasta dishes. service is pretty bad but this is lesotho.
New Asia
Kingsway behind victoria hotel - good chinese restaurant - access from the carpark behind victoria hotel
Peace Restaurant
Moeshoeshoe rd just down from nando's - at the back of a chinese grocery shop the peace restaurant offers an authentic chinese eating experience - good food, plastic chairs, chinese karaoke on friday and saturday nights! you can almost believe you are in china
Good Times Cafe
Lndc centre, kingsway above the vodacom shop - the only nightspot in maseru also serves up adequate south african fare - ok for lunch if you have 1,5 hours or more. tends to be empty in the evenings except for a few expats. big screen for live football.
Solomon's Ground
Below the post office at the corner of constitution road, this restaurant offers decent italian food and on thursdays offers an ethiopian buffet.
Midrange
Regal Restaurant
Kingsway part of the basotho hat complex - the only non-hotel, non-chinese restaurant that offers a pleasant dining experience - good british-style indian food, appealing interior and good service. expensive though and service is average at best.
Ocean Basket
South african chain serving seafood and sushi.
Lesotho Sun
Nightingale rd - a chinese restaurant, and a grill restaurant, both quite average for the price expensive but if you are after a nice steak then it's more convienient than a trip to ladybrand. there's a gluttonous all you can eat buffet on sundays at lunchtime with loads of food. doors open at 12.30 but it soon packs out as post-church middle-class basotho families stuff themselves. get there early if you want to get your nose in the trough! m120 per person.
Maseru Sun Cabanas
Runs the same sunday lunch buffet food-fest as the lesotho sun. i disagree with this post - cabanas "buffet" grill is much better than at the lesotho sun even though they are both part of the sun international group and has a much wider choice. top tip - there is usually bread and butter pudding on the desert table which is better than your mum or gran ever made. weird eh?
