Serving Mbabane & Hhohho District

Conveniently located at Shop No. 9, Corporate Place in Swazi Plaza, Mozambik Mbabane is a go-to destination for residents across the capital city and the surrounding Hhohho District.

With easy access from major routes and proximity to local hotels, we are ideally situated for everything from a quick business lunch to a relaxed weekend dinner.

Our location in Eswatini allows us to infuse localized idiosyncrasies into every plate while staying true to the Afro-Porto roots that define Mozambik. The restaurant is easily reachable by both public and private transport, and the Swazi Plaza setting means you’re never far from the energy of the city. After a day of exploring Mbabane’s markets or finishing up meetings, our dining room and outdoor terrace provide the perfect backdrop to unwind. The mini-holiday feeling is real—sink your toes into the sand (metaphorically speaking), enjoy the sunset-hued ambiance, and let the everyday grind melt away.

Afro-Porto Flavours & Signature Menu

Our culinary heart beats to the rhythm of Afro-Porto fusion, a style developed by Chef Brett Michielin and perfected over nearly two decades. This cuisine is built on a foundation of rich bastings, house-made sauces, and proprietary spice rubs that give every dish its trademark depth. The menu is an eclectic tapestry, ranging from traditional Mozambican prawns to our world-famous peri-peri chicken. Each plate is designed to surprise and delight, balancing heat, tang, and savory notes in perfect harmony.

At Mozambik Mbabane, you’ll find crowd-pleasers that keep guests coming back time and again. Our grilled calamari is tender and perfectly charred, our piri piri chicken is basted to succulent perfection, and our milkshakes—available in a variety of indulgent flavors—are the stuff of local legend. Don’t skip dessert: our cold, creamy ice cream drowning in rich chocolate sauce is a sweet, simple, and a little bit naughty treat that turns any meal into a celebration. For a complete taste of Mozambique, pair your meal with an R&R (Rum and Raspberry), the iconic cocktail that helped launch this brand’s extraordinary journey.

What Makes Our Chicken Famous

Mozambik’s chicken isn’t just food; it’s an experience. Marinated for hours in a proprietary blend of African bird’s eye chili, garlic, citrus, and secret spices, then flame-grilled to order, it delivers a crispy, smoky exterior and juicy, tender meat inside. You choose your heat level—from mild to extra hot—so every palate is catered to. Served with your choice of sides like crispy chips, fragrant rice, or fresh salads, it’s no wonder the chicken dishes are the top-rated items across our 114 reviews. The combination of high-quality ingredients and our open-flame cooking method creates a taste you simply can’t replicate at home.

Seafood & Lighter Bites

Eswatini may be landlocked, but Mozambik Mbabane brings the ocean to your plate with responsibly sourced seafood. Prawns brushed with garlic butter and flame-grilled, succulent calamari tubes and heads, and line fish dressed in zesty marinades are all stars of our menu. For lighter appetites, our Barracas (street-food-inspired small plates) capture the no-frills joy of Mozambique’s vibrant markets. These are perfect for sharing over drinks, creating a relaxed, social dining experience that mirrors the brand’s philosophy: no frills, just spills and plenty of laughter.
