    Rooftop
    Jae D.

    I had such an amazing time here! I loved the ambiance, the scenery, the decor. Highly recommend making a reservation for the rooftop because it was the perfect sunset experience. The food takes you on a journey of diverse flavors and culture. I got the sampler plate and everything was seasoned to the T! It felt like I was taking a step into a different country. A part of that was also seeing the Toucan! It was so cool to experience that and it most definitely elevated my experience at Mozambique.

    Such a cute restaurant! Before entering you're greeted by parrots and a toucan. Our server Alexander was amazing. He was fun and so helpful. The traditional South African pie was so good. It's like similar to a pot pie. I got the peri peri chicken filling and it had the best South African spices. The coconut no-jito (mocktail) was also a must try.

    Penne Pasta Mozambique so good!
    James ..

    This place is a vibe!! Walking up to the restaurant you are instantly wowed by the decor and awesome layout with many dinning room options indoors and out. Got the Penne Pasta Mozambique which was loaded with wonderful flavors and did not disappoint. The cheese they put on it melts in the pasta and gives it a unique flavor profile and unites the dish. Definitely worth trying. Everything on the menu and what my party ordered looked incredible and makes me want to come back soon. But not only is the service excellent, upstairs on Sunday nights they have a live reggae band and it's such a fun place to drink and listen to amazing music with friends. I'm not sure what took me so long to learn about this place, but here I am, and I totally can't wait to return!

    Delicious salmon dinner

    We highly recommend if you are going to watch a band, especially if it's a band you really enjoy. You really should get tickets and buy a table. It gets very crowded. We enjoyed a delicious birthday dinner. The service this particular night was really good. It's a little difficult once the band starts to play to have a conversation with whomever you're with. So, if you're going to have dinner, come at least two hours earlier so that you can enjoy the band and cocktails without having to struggle over your conversation. They do have valet parking. They also, have a shuttle car service that will pick you up and take you home within 5 miles of the restaurant. We love this.

    Fish N' Chips

    Not sure how to officially rate this restaurant and experience. We were a large group of 31 people who reserved a large table weeks ago. To have 2 servers was ludacris. It turned a birthday celebration into a frustrating situation. We were initially told that we could only reserve a 90 minute window for dinner. That would have been cutting it close with 4 servers but with 2 ?? It was hectic. Onto the food .... my friend and I shared the seafood platter. Everything was good but there really wasn't a wow factor. Others ordered a variety of selections which included branzino (some say it was delicious some say theirs was dry), Zanzibar hummus which was delicious and they offered additional pita bread without a charge when requested, beet salad (very tasty), Caesar salad (kinda blah ... needed something more in the dressing flavor department), pan seared salmon was dry, peri peri chicken pops (a little dry also but good flavor), penne pasta with shrimp (pasta was good but the shrimp was dry), fish and chips (they very kindly offered that for an older woman who doesn't eat a lot of different food foods and she enjoyed this option thoroughly), and South African pie (they thought this was a selection that wasn't as exciting as it sounded and would not recommend.) They initially told us they would divide the bill in increments of eight people, but when the check arrived, they split it between one side of the table and the other. This caused quite a disturbance and it was really hard to figure out who ate what and who owes what and it became quite a disturbance. To the business manager, I think if you take a handheld device to the table and process each persons selection separately it would have caused a lot less confusion and a lot more efficient way to take care of such a large check with that many people. Or perhaps offer a price fixed menu in order to avoid a major situation like the one we had. PS: the entertainment on the 2nd floor was outstanding. Retro Revolution was definitely the highlight of the evening.

    This spot is right on Pacific Coast Highway and they do have a small parking lot but there's usually a lot of street parking if you go during the evening. The main reason why I wanted to come here was to sit out top on the roof, but unfortunately due to the holiday the whole floor was reserved so we dined in anyway just rather food. They have different type of different type of cuisine just like African cuisine with different both flavors, which I really enjoyed. Our server was top-tier. We ordered quite a few things to start off. We got the beet salad- beets goat cheese argula (was simple and good) sampler plate- 2 peri peri chicken skewers (the older pics of this appetizer sampler does not have the same presentation, its no longer stuck onto a piece of pineapple in my opinion looks much cooler but it does come with a grilled pineapple slice), black sausage (really dry), 2 samosas, & 2 grilled prawns Durban lamb curry- comes with rice salsas and pieces of banana on the side Chilean Seabass- mashed potatoes, veggies Overall food was not bad interesting flavors good service, just sucks they dont give people the choice to reserve seats on a holiday and have to pay $30-50 extra just to reserve a table on the rooftop by calling a number ahead of time or doing it through their website.

    WOW! I have wanted to try this restaurant for a while now and it was worth the wait. Valet parking at a reasonable rate. The building has three different sections with different names, themed for what one is looking for... for example... the live music area is called... Ivan'z House Live Music Club. There's a rooftop area that is also a different name, all are part of Mozambique. We went on a Friday and it was packed. We were sat in one of their private rooms that overlook the downstairs main area. The room was intimate and much quieter than the main dining room. The whole place has a great vibe to it. Walking in, you are greeted with a huge bird cage with exotic birds. The decor is really cool and the smells of the food make one instantly hungry to try everything. The service was prompt and the staff was very kind. Now... the food. Absolutely delicious. The menu has a variety of tempting items on it, however, I wanted to try the South African food and it did not disappoint. We had somosas as an appetizer and I had the South African pie. My husband had the steak and lobster. Everything tasted amazing. We ended with a delectable dessert and a cappuccino. Afterward, we went to the bar and saw the live band setting up. Also, a cool place with a nice stage. We will definitely be back and bring the family. Thank you Mozambique for a great night.

    Amazing restaurant. Jose and Juan were both great. They got us our food quickly, and everything tasted amazing. I have celiac disease (severe gluten allergy) and their menu clearly labeled what my options were. Also, the rooftop seating has just the most beautiful view. The birds out front absolutely make my day, only to be topped by the great service. Thank you Jose and Juan for making our evening so special!

    Fries Gone Wild
    Chaselynn F.

    We're giving this a 3-star review solely because of our previous experience with our server, Jamie. The first time we dined here was incredible--so much so that we made the effort to drive out of town to come back for a special date night. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to that experience at all. The service tonight wasn't even comparable. When our server finally came to the table, I tried to order fries I thought I had before. Realizing I was mistaken, I showed him a photo of what I meant. He said he knew what I was referring to but mentioned there would be an upcharge since they were from the happy hour menu--which I was completely fine with. What we were served, however, was extremely disappointing. The fries were drenched in an overwhelming amount of sauce--to the point where they were essentially inedible. It was surprising they were even sent out that way. Our server wasn't helpful in addressing the issue, and overall the service felt inattentive and disengaged. The entire experience felt uncomfortable rather than enjoyable. The food was average at best, and the service fell short. Jamie truly set the standard during our first visit--he's one of the best servers we've ever had, and he made the entire experience memorable. If he had been there tonight, this would easily be a 5-star review. Even with average food, he elevates the experience.

    Samoosas and Seafood Salad
    Mina D.

    We came to the rooftop vibes and left happy and full! Such a beautiful restaurant nestled amongst other restaurants and lounges with the entrance presenting 2 live parrots and a toucan! They were sitting beautifully with their cage wide open and snacking on fresh fruit. As you walk upstairs to the rooftop you're greeted with a hostess who seats you and hands you menus. The sun was shining beautifully and our waiter set up the umbrellas to shade our table. We enjoyed cocktails and some appetizers. The samosas were perfectly crispy and warm with a zesty dipping sauce. The calamari was tasty and came with a side of sweet potato fries. We did think the calamari could've been crispier. We also had the seafood salad that had a hefty amount of seafood, from large shrimps and scalps to thin slices of calamari. The salad came with two sides of dressing but already had a citrus vinaigrette drizzled on top and it was perfect as is. For our lunch we ordered the salmon and periperi prawns that were cooked to perfection! The salmon was grilled and moist on the inside. The prawns grilled perfectly and sweet. We couldn't get enough of the steamed veggies that came on the side, so much that we ordered an additional side of steamed veggies. Overall we were very pleased with this restaurant and can't wait to come back!

    Rooftop

    This establishment gets 5 stars just for the amazing service! From the valet to the hostess and the waiter, every staff at Mozambique was super friendly and accommodating. We came during lunch to celebrate a birthday and the hostess downstairs noticed the cake we were holding and offered to keep it in the fridge. At the end of our meal, the waitstaff brought out the cake with fresh plates with utensils and candles. We were in a seafood mood so only got seafood dishes from the menu. Was expecting more bold African flavor but the food we got didn't have that oomph. They were nonetheless enjoyable and the seafood tasted fresh. The rooftop area is very nice and the umbrellas cover practically every corner so no matter where you sit, you are protected. Would love to come back during sunset time to soak in the view.

    Went to the rooftop for brunch and it was fabulous. I got the Bloody Mary and Mediterranean salad with salmon. Both were delicious, also loved the cute macaws and Tucan on the first floor!

The customer service also wasn't the best during my visit. Since the dining area was completely full when we arrived, we decided to place our order to go.

    So, it was AI that landed me here for lunch this past weekend. I asked for suggestions of places…read morethat focused on authenticity - not trendy. This topped the list. I was dreading parking but somehow, only went around the block once and found parking less than half a football field away. I can only guess at how bad it would be during the lunch and dinner rushes. It was metered parking but it was Sunday and IYKYK. Otherewise, read the sigs and be ready to feed the meter. Service was patient and warm. Wondered if it was a one man crew as our server, host and cashier was one person. He would be there and then he wouldn't. Left me wondering if he was also cooking or at least helping in the back of the house. It wasn't busy - my friend and I were one of three parties/tables. Not that we needed much but there was a moment when we wanted more injera ... which leads me to the food. The injera was nice and spongy - great since it's all hands on deck, no utensils. If you've never had this cuisine, know that the injera is like your plate and your utensil. Use it to soak up and grab the veggie and meat dishes but just be aware, you eat too much of it too fast, and it'll fill you up just as fast. The dishes are on the mild side as far as being spicy. I would have loved it spicier however my friend doesn't handle heat but the flavors made up for compromise of not ordering fire. We weren't able to finish it all and couldn't bring it to go as we were on the road from LA but would have gladly taken it for leftovers for another time. I would have added more seasoning and some heat to tickle my taste buds. Don't read into that - that it wasn't good - I do also appreciate when places favor less which allows me to add because if it's too heavily seasoned, diluting certain dishes is tricky and in some cases not worth it IMO. Note: if you've had this cuisine before, know that Muzita does Entrees - not combo's. One or two orders and you should be good.
