About
With its roots firmly set in passion and its flavours unapologetically Afro Porto, the Mozambik restaurant group is fast becoming one of South Africa’s leading dining brands. From its launch as a single store in Ballito, Kwa-Zulu Natal circa 15 years ago, the brand has seen rapid growth over the past half-decade, now totaling 18 stores nationally. Later in 2019, the Mozambik brand will also expand north of the Limpopo with its first international store scheduled to open in Lusaka. Chef Brett Michelien has, over time, developed a range of bastings, sauces and rubbing spices that has become Mozambik’s trademark. The menu is inspired by Afro-Porto cuisine with a rich tapestry of flavour the common denominator across an eclectically styled offering. From traditional fare such as prawns through to Mozambik’s famous chicken, the menu offers a wide variety of taste experiences.

An all round 100 % rating for this restaurant, its staff as well as incredible food. We ordered a seafood platter for 2 as well as the prawn / chicken combo. Simply outstanding. Can't remember our waitress's name, but she is the sister of the main hostess. Although she admitted that she was new at the restaurant, we would have been none the wiser. Her service was impeccable. We had a great experience at this restaurant. Highly recommended!

We love the franchise and were delighted to find Mozambik while on holiday in nearby Salt Rock. The service was attentive and the atmosphere was very inviting. The menu offers varied options to suit most tastes and has a kiddies menu.

Great vibe, great people, excellent food! Mozambik never disappoints... the flavours are perfect and we are still trying to figure out how to replicate their sauce...
Prawns are always a winner, the Portuguese chicken is tasty - so combine the two for the ultimate dish. Highly recommended!

We tried Mozambik for lunch and dinner. The lunch was fantastic, good portion and the half a chicken and coconut rice was delicious and the chicken was a good size. A few days later, we went for dinner and the half a chicken was quite a bit smaller and a bit dry, but still tasty. The coconut rice portion was a lot less than the lunch portions.

It was a pretty slow evening, which made the slow service a bit surprising. The Hake and Calamari were just ok, the Haloumi appetizer tasted like salty soggy sponges. Overall a mediocre experience. I am not sure what the hype is all about.

We were visiting Durban when a friend took us out for supper on a Thursday evening. The pal e was packed so we battled to get a table inside but we did as our friend was a regular. The food especially the prawns were exceptional, the rest of the food and drinks together with the service was great. I would definitely go there again and recommend this venue as so many patrons are a testament to this.

Because we like Mozambique food, we made a reservation for the evening of 11 Feb 2022. Upon arrival, i was in shock...in the middle of the very loud and lively restaurant, there was our table. The staff immediately understood our problem and relocated us although all tables were booked. To a nice, rather quiet side on the terrace.
We had tremendous good food and an joyfull evening. The young waitress NOMTHA was professional and cordially. Tip for the management: if someone is ordering big prawns, it would be easier to eat them if there is some other light than from my I-Phone....it was a bit of a struggle.

What an authentic Mozambique experience. Everything we ordered was amazing. The chicken livers, prawn risole, the squid heads, the calamari, the sword fish. Every dish was delicious, hot and exquisite.
The service was great and to top it all off, when our uber didn't arrive, the manager was kind enough to drop us off at home which was around the corner. I cannot recommend this lovely, warm and enjoyable venue, highly enough. Mozambique is our favourite destination, and this restaurant has become our next best go to. Everything was amazing. Thank you for my birthday ice cream! And finally, the Portuguese rolls we ordered to take home were amazing!

I am from Richards Bay but been living in London since 2001. I work in hotel industry and I was absolutely blown away by the service, quality of the food and the price. Don’t be fooled by the look form the outside. It is easy to see why Mozambik is the no 1 rated restaurant in Ballito. Well worth a visit. Well done guys and keep it up.

This was our first visit to the “moved” Mozambik in its new location. We have visited the original restaurant many times.
We visited on a very busy Friday evening.
We were early so had the choice of seating.
The new restaurant is really nice, has lots of outdoor covered seating and has great ambiance.
Our waiter “Sphe” was excellent and super attentive.
Sadly the kitchen let you down on this occasion.
Seafood needs to be cooked perfectly and sadly the chef(s)? Are not doing this. The dorado and the prawns were over cooked and dry.
We will give you another try as maybe it was a slip on the night.
It didn’t destroy our evening but we have the best fish restaurant in the country very close to home so we do have high expectations

A big restaurant, with fantastic service, reasonably priced seafood dishes and excellent choice. As a family of four, we ordered two prawn platters and added starters until the table was covered. A great evening out.

Conundrum! How do you resolve the worst service with the most delicious food on the North coast? My normal answer would be start drinking and be patient. HERE there is no one to get the drink for you. It took Senele 20 minutes to find us and another 10 to get a beer. I had to resort to getting Sne to take over-she is excellent.
Our meals were delicious. Beer perfectly chilled in a monster beer glass.
The conundrum remains! How to come back after shocking service and let it happen again or be prepared to hunt for a waiter in return for delicious food

The food was superb. I had the hake and calamari combo. The sauce was delicious, vegetables the best and the hake and calamari tender. My wife had the Prawn Belini for at least the 20 th time. Her motivation was why order anything else when I enjoy it every time. Service was the hunter type. You spent your time hunting him.

After about 25 visits we went on a Monday and it started off OK but then came the Windhoek lager which was off. Sent it back and the manager asked why. Then got a Heineken which was off. Both were undrinkable
Manager came over and said (honest) "the first beer out of the kegs is always like this" ????? WTF and what an excuse. If they knew this why serve the first one and try and justify crap beer.
The rest of the lunch was OK but please do not make lame excuses .
To be honest there are a stack of restaurants in this area and I would rather go somewhere else.
Would we go back - very doubtful and although a great authentic Mozambique venue why waste well gained money to waste.
Gave it 2 stars because of memories but in honesty should only be 1 star.

Fantastic food - we had their prawn special on Wednesday evening and the food was great. Tasty and excellent quality and size of the prawns.
So - we doubled up on the prawn special
And..man, that sauce they put over the prawns is to die for... could drink a bottle of the stuff like a cocktail.....
Like always, a pleasurable experience thanks to Brad, Nicole and Conrad... well done guys.
