MOZA'S Norwood

If you're looking for authentic and delicious Mozambican food in South Africa, you need to come to Moza's in Norwood, Johannesburg. As someone who's had the privilege of visiting Mozambique, to me their food is among the best in the world, and I've got to say that here they're doing it just like you'll find it across the border. With a wide variety of options on the menu, one of the characteristic differences is that their chicken is chargrilled, giving it a bold, smoky flavor. Mozambican food is a vibrant fusion of Portuguese, African, and Indian influences, with dishes like peri-peri chicken, from the famous African bird's eye chili, spicy grilled prawns, fresh seafood, and aromatic spices. The food at Moza's reminded me of being back on the white sandy beaches against the backdrop of the ocean, with the air filled by the smell of food cooking outside on an open fire. To me, the pricing was reasonable, with a quarter chicken, six prawns, chips, and a roll going for R189. Classics like liver with pap, prego rolls, chicken burgers, and more were all also on offer. I'd highly recommend a visit to this family-run business for what to me was incredibly delicious Mozambican food.
