Mdumiseni, was absolutely wonderful.
Having a friendly waiter with a smile, really does make for a better dining experience.
Food was served and cleared in a timeous manner. Recommendations were made when requested.
A cutlery and crockery refresher after each dish was a good touch.
We have always loved dining here and will continue to go back.

It's a brilliant spot,the views are splendid and the service is also exceptional,as a foodie I ordered chicken .Most places usually jinx this dish as they go over board with spicing and other ingredients but Mozambik did exceptionally in this department. The sirloin steak is such a delight it has taste ,we coupled it with some fries which also did not disappoint. Any establishment seeking to make a name for them selves should make sure the food Is great and i feel like the guys at Mozambik are doing exceptional. On Service the waiter was friendly,upselling, ended up getting a rum and coke that I didn't intend on getting that's a plus I guess .,however a few pointers..always pay attention to what the customer requests ,service is attention and remembering what the guests asks for ,secondly always look at your guests most of the time they want something from you.This is however constructive, so I do hope the experience will continue being exceptional ,the food as well.

My husband took me out for an early birthday dinner and we decided to go to Mozambik in Somerset West. What an absolutely amazing and interesting menu, not just the food menu but the cocktails were amazing too.
The items are a little more pricey when compared to other 'seafood' restaurants but the food was so amazing that we will never eat anywhere else again.
Our server Yandisa also made the night unforgettable with his excellent service, knowledge of the menu and great humour.
We highly recommend this restaurant for a great time, vibe, food & drinks.

Should be called Sauce Zambik…
Because thats all that’s special here.
Made a reservation for 2, well in advance, yet we were seated in a walkway at a wonky, dirty table. ( The restaurant was only half full ).
Ordered cocktails, and yes…mix out of stock.
Waiter was clearly not trained to explain ( highlight the signature dishes ) properly. Ordered squid heads and fish cakes starters. Both dishes tasty, sauces were very good. There were no place mats or condiments at the table, and when menus were removed, we asked for two. OMG we had to share one ( see pic attached ) !! A piece of brown paper I had to tear in two. I’m still in disbelief.
Thereafter chicken, prawns and “signature” steak all edible > but won’t cause me to visit again…
After so many recommendations from friends, this was the worst R 1 200 for 2 money I’ve spent at a restaurant > if you can call it that

We Enjoyed our experience there. The food was excellent, and the portions are great. The service was splendid definitely coming back with the family. It was cold and raining outside and they had a safe heater that warmed up the place. It is nice and cosy, great for family, dates and gatherings with friends or colleagues. They bost a wide variety of delicacies at extremely affordable prices. Check them out you won't be disappointed. Thank you Asa for the superb service and being a friend to us. Felix is a very kind man and knows how to handle conflict with ease. You guys made us enjoy our stay. When we come back we would love to be served by Asa. Xoxoxo :)

Our first to Mozambik and we're not disappointed. We sat on a patio overlooking the Sanctuary pond, watching the sunset as we enjoyed a feast unlike any other. The Thursday full-chicken special was the best value for money I've had at a sit-in restaurant in a long time.
The price isn't the only thing they have going for them, though. The quality of food is exceptional. From the flavourful chicken to the fresh vegetables to the coconut rice ... don't even get me started on the coconut rice. Well done.
Our waiter, Oyama, assisted as expertly and even pointed out which dishes may be too spicy for our daughter.
A wonderful experience.

We went there for lunch and sat inside - one of 2 tables.
They brought us each peanuts in a cone to nibble on. We skipped it because none of the staff in the kitchen wore gloves and someone had to fill up those cones!
My wife ordered a single hake and she was happy as it was the perfect size. It was perfectly cooked.
I ordered the beef espetada with peri peri sauce. I ordered it because they say on the menu that it comes grilled with bay leaves. The espetada arrived on a rather small plate with the chips, and the steak was drenched in peri peri sauce. I took the meat off the skewer but the plate was still too small. A normal main course plate would have done the trick. The beef was under cooked - very rare (blue) instead of medium rare. We didn’t have time for me to send it back. It was full of sinew so sadly half the steak was lost.
Next time I will order the sauce separate and ask for a bigger plate.
Pity they don’t serve the espetada on the hanging skewer where you can taste the bay leaves and garlic with a separate sauce.

Excellent restaurant with great service.
This was a family outing to celebrate my brother's birthday. We phoned and booked a table with ease and was greeted with smiles at the door.
The menu is well priced and the food you receive is great value for money.
Restaurant has a Portugese vibe to it, but its not over bearing and you wont feel uncomfortable if this is not completely your scene.
Very friendly staff made it a pleasure to visit and we will definately visit again.
Can highly recommend Mozambik- Sanctuary.

They say “Confidence” is key😉
Was a bit worried about finding a restaurant to impress Mother in-law, but boy oh boy, was she in for a treat.
Patience isn’t really her virtue. We placed our order for starters and before she could even say a word, there the starters were. Even she was impressed. The taste was on another level. As a Portuguese family the fish cakes tasted like home. We also has the peri-peri chicken livers which was to die for (we are chicken liver snobs). Some rum and raspberry and green mambas to go along with it. We also had the special 2kg prawns which we couldn’t get enough of. Generally we find that their are often served almost cold and therefore the butter goes hard and just ruins the taste. Mozambik got it just right with the most impeccable flavour profile. Yum 😋. For mains we had ribs and prawn curry. At this moment I was just eating after the taste as I was incredibly full. But I could sit there whole night and just soak up the drinks and beautiful food.
To finish off we had 3 deserts which tasted so flavourful, yet not too sweet, which my “sweet spot” along with some kulua dom pedros.
But above all else, our waiter was a gem. Confidence is such an asset to the business. Involving himself with the guests but not overdoing it. I could write a book about how impressed I was and a whole other book about how impressed my mother in-law was
Thank you so much for hosting us. Can’t believe it took us a whole 6 months to eat there.
Wishing you all the best.
PS: you’ll definitely see us frequently along with our friends and family. Also I was enjoying the food so much, I forgot to take pictures

Yesterday, my husband and I went for the first time to Mozambik at The sanctuary. We were welcomed by the lovely Busi, a waitress with the right sense of humor and very Friendly. She took our order and when the Cocktails arrived, I was pleasantly surprised with the use of sustainable and eco- friendly material.For every person there was a Custom craft glass straw in a box with inside a linen pocket with a glass straw and brush to clean the straw, a good way to make their clients conscious about the environment.The food was very yummy and the water bottles were all personalised glass re-usable ones. The snabbles (nuts)which came with the drink were all seperatly packed per person in a paper cone, very hygienic. Definitely a brand who thinks about the details. Very well done, we had a very enjoyable diner, and we will definitely be back. Thanks Busi for being our waitress!

Well worth the visit. The food was delicious. Very seldom do you get the steak cooked as you want it. Mozambik nailed it 100%. Our waiter, Confidence, was great. Not once did we need to wait or ask for anything. He took good care of us. Felix, the manager, checked on us and was very friendly. If I we're to knit pick - the decor and atmosphere could do with some attention. But the food and friendly staff made up for it.

Mozambik offers a comprehensive menu with a truly Mozambique taste bud.
Try die Mozambik craft beer and the coconut rice as a side.
Our waitress Busi made it a pleasant experience with her friendly efficiency and confidence in recommending dishes or drinks.
Will revisit!

We had the most incredible experience. From the moment we walked in the door until we left we were treated with excellent service from MBU, and served the most delicious food, cocktails and desserts! Would definitely recommend the grilled hake and the prawns. The coconut rice is as good as they say, if not better! We cannot wait to go again soon!
