For our second outing for Restaurant Week, we visited this restaurant situated in the Village Convenience Centre in Moreleta Park. This venue seems to be very well-liked among local patrons and a popular choice for events and larger gatherings (there were at least 4 big tables booked for parties when we arrived).
After clearing some confusion with our waitress regarding Restaurant Week, we proceeded to order one of each of their starters and mains they had on offer (for Restaurant Week they provided 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 deserts – either for a 2 course or a 3 course).
Starters:
The Chicken Trinchado, consisted of fried chicken strips in a creamy garlic, white wine sauce. This was well prepared, being rich and decadent.
The Calamari, fried in a garlic, peri-peri sauce was deliciously soft and very tasty.
Both dishes were a very generous portion size and was served with a Portuguese roll to soak up the lovely sauce.
Mains:
The Half Chicken was flame grilled in a garlic, lemon and herb sauce. The chicken was juicy with the lovely, charred bits we both love. This was served with a serving of chips (crispy as ordered).
Prawns, the 10 medium prawns were butterflied and also grilled in a garlic, lemon and herb sauce. They were very well prepared, very tasty. This was served with chunky stir fry vegetables, el dente and equally enjoyable.
All the staff were friendly and attentive during our visit, including our friendly waitress Gugu.
After we have paid our bill the friendly manager, Leonard approached us and gifted us a lovely bottle or rosé as thanks that we had joined them for Restaurant Week.

About Mozambik Moreleta Park
Cuisine: Portuguese
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 24 stores nationally. In 2020, the Mozambik brand will also expand north of the Limpopo with its first international store scheduled to open in Lusaka.
With several sites currently being evaluated, the Mozambik brand is set to continue on its upward trajectory.
Inspired by the Afro-Porto fusion cuisine of Mozambik, the brand’s organic evolution has led to its current positioning; the taste of escape. It is a multi-sensory brand that is built around customer experience. In other words, dining at a Mozambik store delivers high quality and tasty cuisine with an exceptional atmosphere and high service levels. Visiting Mozambik is like a mini holiday, a break, a taste of escape.
Mozambik is not a rubber-stamp brand either. While each store is highly recognizable and true to brand, all are infused with localized idiosyncrasies.
Chef Brett Michielin 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.
