The August 2019 vacating of Dockland’s Central Pier forced the closure of several businesses including cool Middle Eastern eatery Mama Rumaan. Don’t fret however as ‘Mama’ has resurfaced as a pop-up at Federation Square called Mama’s Canteen, with its trusty list of cold or hot mezzes, and Middle Eastern influenced sides and desserts. The menu also has shawarma and grill or skewer options. Mama’s Canteen is in an airy space facing the river on one side and the bustle of Fed Square on the other. The food is tasty and the portions are large; the service is friendly and quite fast. Enjoy.

Agustus 2019 pengosongan Central Pier di Docklands telah memaksa ditutupnya beberapa bisnis termasuk restoran keren Timur Tengah, Mama Rumaan. Tetapi jangan kecewa, ‘Mama’ telah muncul kembali, di Federation Square dengan perubahan nama menjadi “Mama’s Canteen” dengan menu yang berdasar mezze (makanan hangat atau dingin yang di share ramai-ramai), serta makanan pendamping dan penutup ala Timur Tengah. Dalam menunya juga ada pilihan shawarma dan pilihan ‘grill’ yang ditusuk seperti sate. “Mama’s Canteen” mempunyai ruang terbuka yang menghadap sungai dan satu sisi lainnya menghadap ke Fed Square. Buat saya menu restaurant ini sangat enak dan porsinya cukup besar. Pelayanan sangat baik dan lumayan cepat. Selamat mencoba.
