Fodor's Review:

Now with four locations (in Johannesburg at Melrose Arch in Melrose North, the Market Theatre in Newtown, and at Zoo Lake in Parktown, and outside Cape Town at the Spier wine estate), Moyo is strongly African in theme, from the food and decor to the music and live entertainment. The focus of the rich and varied menu is pan-African, incorporating tandoori cookery from northern Africa, Cape Malay influences such as lentil bobotie, 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. Moyo at Zoo Lake in Parktown is the nicest in Jo'burg during the day, as you can dine with a view of the lake and take a stroll or a ride in a rowboat afterwards. At night or in wintertime, try the Melrose Arch or Newtown branches.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
