You can meet very nice Korean cuisine. Especially Bulgogi onigiri is Fantastic.

Hidden one street off of Game Complex, RaS is a treasure! Once you find the door, you wind up the stairs into the round restaurant where professional staff greet you. The prices are great, especially for how much food you get and the quality! In addition to my beef rice roll, I was served a fish soup, pickles, and a cookie puff. What a treat. Be aware that RaS is CASH only!

Once the door closes behind you, you're surrounded by quiet, coffee aroma, peaceful music and a calm ambiance. A perfect place to have coffee & cake, read a book, catch up on work. The food and drink is fresh and a perfect blend between Korean and international.

Cozy cafe in Lilongwe. Also good for Japanese as well as Korean because we can eat onigiri(rice ball). I also love their cheesecake!!

A pearl in Lilongwe! Delicious and varied food, relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. Just be mindful to make sure your dishes are vegeterians if they are not on the "vegeterian" section. For example we ordered pasta rosé and it came with a piece of a prawn... Not cheap but worth the price!

Found this gem online and wanted to try it when we were in the capital! Not only did we enjoy all the specialty drinks, entrees and dessert, we also enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere where you can also shop in their little Malawian handicraft section. Reminds us of Korean cafes in Greater Los Angeles but with Malawian flavors too. Not only that, we ran into an old friend there! Sweet! Definitely will return when we come into Lilongwe for our “big city trips!” 😋😋😋

Always the best Korean foods at a good and warm atmosphere. Fantastic rice bowl, soup(국밥), bibimbap and especially bingsu(Ice flakes with milk). Lovely breads from the oven. I wish they sell some wines in the near future.

A hidden gem here in Lilongwe, food was amazing atmosphere was a very interesting atmosphere with a spiral staircase entrance and a round restaurant with square tables…We preordered and had hot food when we walked in. Thank you and looking forward to be back.

Tasty coffee, delicious food and a variety of desserts Indoor cafe and restaurant with big space As a Korean I know how hard it is to find some ingredients in Malawi, and despite that the food here is really decent. The workers are also very nice and well trained

Some of the best Korean food I've ever had (including in Korea) which I entirely did not expect to find in Malawi but am immensely glad we did! Ate here probably 6+ times during my stay in Lilongwe, food was on point every time. Must have tried almost all the noodle dishes on the menu and they were all delicious, with the Kong guksu being a personal fave. Drinks were also great and the staff kindly made customizations upon request. Service is extremely friendly, they stayed open for us an hour after closing one day when we arrived a bit late. The vibe is great also, with tables and outlets for working if needed. Highly recommend, I look forward to eating here again when I'm next in Malawi :) ! (Sorry for the terrible photo I had already started eating!)
