Aurum Restaurant formally The Golden Leaf Restaurant

Aurum Restaurant, formally The Golden Leaf Restaurant, is an Indian-led dining venue on Mosi-Oa-Tunya Road in Livingstone, Zambia. Its menu brings together traditional Indian cuisine, Continental favourites and local Zambian cooking, giving diners several styles of food within one restaurant. The Indian selection focuses on familiar regional flavours and includes dishes suited to both mild and spicy preferences.

The restaurant’s character comes from this combination of cuisines. Indian cooking remains the central focus, while Continental choices provide recognisable international options and Zambian dishes offer a local dimension. The result is a practical choice for mixed groups in which diners may have different tastes, from those seeking a traditional Indian meal to those looking for familiar international or local food.

Local dishes form part of the menu alongside international options, allowing the restaurant to suit diners interested in Livingstone’s food culture as well as those wanting a more familiar meal. The Continental section is suited to guests who prefer straightforward international dining, while the Indian menu offers a more distinctive regional focus. This broad approach also makes the venue suitable for meals shared by groups with varied preferences.

Aurum Restaurant is positioned as a dining option for people visiting Livingstone’s attractions, returning from safari activities or finishing a day of outdoor adventures. The setting is on the town-side stretch of Mosi-Oa-Tunya Road, opposite the ZRA Port Office and close to the Town Centre. That location makes the nearby office and town-centre area useful reference points when planning a visit.

Walk-ins are welcomed, although reservations are available for all group sizes and are recommended when a particular mealtime matters. Contact can be made by telephone, WhatsApp or email before arrival. The restaurant’s food range, central location and choice of Indian, Continental and Zambian cuisine make it a flexible option for casual meals, group dining and visitors seeking a local restaurant with more than one culinary tradition.
