Upon entering Lukumama, I was immediately struck by its warm and inviting atmosphere. The cafe’s rustic yet modern decor. The open kitchen concept allows patrons to catch glimpses of the donuts being freshly prepared, adding a touch of excitement to the overall experience.
The star of the show at Lukumama, undoubtedly, is their exquisite array of Greek donuts, known as “loukoumades.” These bite-sized balls of bliss are perfectly cooked to a golden brown, boasting a delightful balance of crispiness on the outside and a fluffy, tender center. Served piping hot and generously drizzled with an assortment of mouthwatering toppings, from traditional honey and cinnamon to more adventurous choices like Nutella and crushed pistachio nuts, each donut is a tantalising treat for the senses. In particular, certain donuts, for an extra fee, have either cheesecake, coconut or custard filling.
The staff at Lukumama are welcoming and attentive. When their self-serve water area was running low, the staff helped refill it and filled some cups for our table.
