About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Neighborhood gem
Good for groups

Welcome to Mama Le (pronounced Mama Lee) – a heartfelt creation by mother and daughter duo, Leanne and Lisa. What began as a playful idea between the two has blossomed into their very first venue, where Mum’s beloved home-style recipes meet a bold, modern twist.

At Mama Le, we serve up Vietnamese fusion dishes that celebrate tradition while embracing innovation. Our elevated dining experience brings comfort food to new heights, all inspired by Mama’s kitchen.

Expect a few surprises along the way – from cheeky cocktail names inspired by Mama’s kids, to a vibrant atmosphere crafted with love. The space itself was once an ordinary office warehouse, thoughtfully transformed into a stylish, multi-level restaurant designed for sharing food, stories, and laughs.

Come hungry, leave happy – and always feel at home with us.

The food was delicious, however, the service was a bit slow. I understand it was Valentine's Day, but better preparation, given the online bookings, would have been appreciated.

Food and service was amazing! It was a busy night when we went (Valentines Day), so they were understandably busy. Didn't take away from the great food, ambience, service and value. Highly recommend 👌
