Moyo

Moyo Review

From the food and decor to the music and live entertainment, Moyo is strongly African in theme. The focus of the rich and varied menu is pan-African, incorporating tandoori cookery from northern Africa, Cape Malay influences such as lentil bobotie (a traditional South African baked minced lamb dish), Moroccan-influenced tasty tagines (stews with lamb, chicken, fish, or seven vegetables), and ostrich burgers and other dishes representing South Africa. Diners are often entertained by storytellers, face painters, and musicians. The restaurant has four locations (in Johannesburg at Melrose Arch in Melrose North and at Zoo Lake in Parkview, outside Cape Town at the Spier wine estate, and in Durban at the uShaka Pier). At night or in wintertime, Melrose Arch is the best bet of the two Jo'burg outposts. In summer and during the day, the Zoo Lake and Spier branches are nicest.
