An absolute gem of a restaurant in Moab. Happened to find it on Yelp! while researching breakfast options and with so many good reviews I had to try it for myself. The chicken fried steak breakfast was very tasty, with crisp potatoes seasoned just right, a perfectly cooked egg, and a delicious home made breakfast. I had a chance to meet the owner, Zinzi, and we chatted about our shared connections to Cape Town. The dining room is very nicely decorated and comfortable. I'll have to find a way to make my way back to Moab to try the South African inspired dinner menu (Thursday through Sunday); am sad that I'll miss it this trip. read more

Enjoyed a nice breakfast at the end of our trip to Moab at Hidden Cuisine! The wait for seating and our food was quite long, but there were many events going on this weekend. Our waiter was super friendly and ensured we were taken care of. I got the country fried steak, and my partner got the smoked salmon bagel. Both were great. Mine was hearty and satisfying, while the bagel was light and refreshing. The potatoes were just ok, but the rest of the meal was tasty. Cute restaurant, will be back if I'm in Moab again! read more

Our family decided to try Hidden Cuisine because we were tired of the burger and diner type of food. The restaurant is spacious and had a welcoming decor. The staff was friendly and attentive. The dinner menu was enticing. The Bobotie was like a steam egg with ground meat. The South African style ribs was served in sauce and the ribs had lots of meat. Both were very tasty. We especially liked the stewed beans which had a tomato and vinegary sauce that we licked clean. Both of these dishes were a little spicy though so we were glad we ordered the La Sal Club sandwich for the kids. The only thing I wish was different was there to be more vegetables in the dish. read more

My favorite food in Moab. A South African themed restaurant with authentic cuisine and atmosphere. The lady who owns it. She has been in the US for 14years. We happened to find this menu in the dining guide. Having been to South Africa 5 times in 8 years, to find food that reminded me of wonderful food and memories was a pleasant surprise here in Moab. So far it's by far my favorite restaurant here. read more

What a great find on the outskirts of Moab. If you come across this restaurant, don't pass by without stopping by for a bite! We were looking for a breakfast spot passing through Moab and found Hidden Cuisine on Yelp. I'm so glad we took the chance and stopped in for breakfast. It can be unassuming but don't let that throw you off. Once inside you will be impressed with a clean and appointed restaurant adorned by the native South African Flag and decor. We were greeted by our host and server Sloan. Sloan was calm, nice and welcoming! We really enjoyed his presence and recommendations of the menu. We ordered coffee and apple juice. The juice is fresh squeezed. It was green apple. So refreshing! Everything is made from scratch. For breakfast we shared the Eggs Benedict and the Avocado Toast. Both were delicious. Eggs poached perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was very light and bright. The ham was delicious. Bread thin and crispy. The potatoes were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Seasoned perfectly. We loved it. The avocado toast was so tasty. We were also told they just started serving dinner and got a glimpse of the menu. Looks amazing. We will definitely stop by next time we make our way through town! read more

Absolutely delicious food and excellent service! Our family of 4 stopped by Hidden Cuisine for breakfast in Aug 2024 while staying in Moab. The restaurant is located outside of Moab downtown but it turned out to be a true hidden gem! Every single dish we ordered was absolutely delicious and just perfect! Presentation was also beautiful and aesthetic. We also got a freshly squeezed juice and super friendly quick service! With all that the prices were very reasonable. When we left we wished we could come back for lunch and another breakfast, but sadly it wasn't possible with our trip schedule. Thank you Hidden Cuisine for delicious meal setting the mood for the day ahead! We highly recommend Hidden Cuisine restaurant! It's well worth driving extra few min from Moab downtown. Food ordered Smoked Salmon Benedict - perfectly balanced, with all the right flavors. Hidden Scramble Crepes - masterpiece! My son finished it in no time :) Pipe Dream Avocado Toast with Smoked Salmon - excellent, flavorful, with right texture. Chef's Crepes - just perfect! read more

Excellent spot for breakfast before hitting the trails!! Service was 100% and food was great. I had the salmon bagel and my hubby had the salmon Benedict. Close to the KOA too! read more

Food was very tasty We ordered the Salmon bagel and split it. We both loved the taste. Very good server- he was polite, fast and friendly. The French toast looked yummy. Will have to try it next time. read more

Came really close to closing time (sorry guys) and had the spinach and artichoke cups and the fish curry. The spinach and artichoke cups were quite large (3) and the two of us could have filled up on just those alone. The fish and shrimp curry was the best seafood based curry I've ever had. Tons of tumeric, needs some salt and acidity - both easy to fix with salt and lemon. But no fishiness and great texture. Pricey no doubt but well worth it. Wish I took a before photo but nothing was left read more

Wonderful service and great food. Such a good find outside the touristy part of town.

The food is phenomena! They just started serving dinner and I highly recommend it.The ambiance is relaxing. The service is fast with very friendly wait staff. This restaurant is 10 minutes south of 191 and downtown Moab and is a great option for dinner or breakfast. They service both South African food and modern American food. read more

The food is always fresh and delicious. The service is great. Outside seating available to enjoy the beautiful views. I love the fresh juices (best prices in Moab) The have an espresso machine to make your favorite coffee drinks. Locals may consider it a ways out of town, but you probably ain't from around, so a couple miles is nothing. Oh and plenty of parking for your all stuff. read more

This restaurant is located away from the Moab Main street tourist restaurants area, about four miles out. All the customers seem to be local. The Interior gave off an old diner vibe. The parking lot wss not paved. The family dropped in for lunch specifically to try the South Afican inspired foods except for me. I went with a bacon and egg scramble in crepes with home fried potatoes from the all day breakfast menu. The girls went with three different South Afican dishes. The South Afican dishes seem to inspired by Indian cooking. My plate was delicious and I ate everything. I loved the idea of scramble in crepes. The girls loved their South Afican dishes as well. They really enjoyed the curry sauces because the sauces were not as intense as the Indian curry sauces. They couldn't finish the large amount of foods and we took the leftover for dinner. Table service was very friendly and attentive. Prices were appropriate for the high quality ingredients and taste. We were happy with our meal. read more

Very good food if also very salty, and we are salt fiends. Service excellent. We had the salmon Benedict and country fried steak, and both were top-notch. Highly recommended if you're in the area. read more

We had breakfast here and liked it so much we returned the next day for lunch! Our breakfast dishes were ham and smoked salmon Eggs Benedict. The Hollandaise sauce was homemade and the eggs were poached perfectly. Very tasty potatoes were included. The next day we came for the house special lunch-South African food. I had Bobotie and my husband had Malay Chicken. Both were delicious. Misty was our very sweet and efficient server. This restaurant is a little outside of Moab but definitely worth the drive! read more

Off the beaten path, this gem of a restaurant is clean and delish. We modified their veggie omelet by adding bacon, and then scrambled. Even the wait person, Sloan, was drooling. Strong and tasty coffee. Great service and vibe. Sorry we found this on our last day in Moab! Yum! read more

Delicious breakfast off the beaten track. Great latte and the avocado toast was incredible, served with succulent tomatoes and cilantro. You can eat on the patio, where we pulled a table into the shade of the building and brought our dog with us. The inside is cozy and welcoming. Definitely a hidden gem and worth tracking down! read more

Everything was delicious and service was on the spot with small town friendliness. We had the fish meal, the roti meal, crepes, eggs benedicts, and the other usual breakfast items. The chai was very good, perfect froth and creaminess. We went two days in a row, a must visit in Moab. read more

Located on the edge of town. Went for breakfast and my eggs. Benedict could have been amazing but the egg was overcooked. Their hollandaise sauce is delicious and the service is friendly. read more

We have dined at the restaurant over the years. The waitstaff is very friendly. The food is high quality, healthy and consistently good. It's not on the Main Street area so you miss the long wait time to be seated. My entire family finds something on the menu that they like. I would like to go for lunch and try more of their South African dishes. The owner is very nice and makes beautiful coffee mugs she often sells in house. read more

I don't usually write reviews but I had to share about this place. The food was absolutely amazing! It is outside of town a little bit but it is so worth it and you don't have to deal with crowds. The atmosphere was great, service was excellent, (shoutout to Misty from Alaska!) and the food was delicious!!! Cant wait to go back and try more! read more

Hidden Cuisine recently expanded their hours to include dinner service and they have absolutely nailed it! We had the bacon & chicken carbonara (classic, perfectly executed pasta dish), mushroom risotto cakes (unique dish with a surprisingly earthy and delicious taste) and - the star of the show - the Cape Malay Chicken Roti (fragrant, wonderful depth of flavor, simply scrumptious!). We live in Moab and Hidden Cuisine is our number one choice for breakfast, lunch and - now - dinner. Most difficult thing about eating here is finding the restaurant. It is three miles south of town on Hwy 191 (1/4 north of the Shell station). The absolute best food in Moab and reasonably priced. Most highly recommended. read more

Had breakfast here and it was amazing! We had the biscuits and gravy and the kick start. Everything was fantastic from the homemade biscuits, perfectly crispy bacon, and fresh squeezed orange juice. The service was great as well, plenty of parking, and no wait. We will definitely be back. read more

Big props to the very personable server (the one who's lived in the area for more than a decade.) He was attentive and provided useful advice about the area. The food wasn't memorable, but not bad, it satisfied our hunger. The chicken fried steak tasted prefab, the white gravy resembled the kind from a grocery store. Nevertheless, I finished it. We didn't connect with the popular sweet crepes. Coffee was very good, and the service excellent. Based on the glowing reviews take my review with a grain of salt. read more

literally hidden away and I think more people should come This place is an actual gem of a breakfast spot. We got two dishes that really hit the spot. Avocado toast w/ smoked salmon - super generous portion size (we got 4 pieces) and avocado was FRESH. Served over warm crusty bread - mmmhmmm. Egg veggie benedict - egg was perfectly cooked over a nice soft english muffin with just the right amount of sauce. Potatoes were nice and crispy just the way I like it. Oh and the service here was excellent - another couple came later than us and apparently ordered the exact same things as us. The waiter accidentally gave them our food (even though they came later than us). To make it up to us, the waiter gave us a 10% discount - now that is great customer service. Come here for good breakfast if you are in moab! read more

If you want something amazing and different you must eat here. The owner is the Chef and she is in the kitchen every time we come here. American/African with a European twist cuisine I would call it.

A true locals joint, we wouldn't have even noticed it if the family we visited in Moab hadn't taken us. We normally have had good luck with "local" restaurants and this was no exception. Went for breakfast - nothing special - just really good food and very friendly service. Not in town proper but very close. read more

Wow, This is such a hidden () gem. It's a little bit north of the Main Street of Moab but a great spot! When we got there we were only the second group around 11 on a Friday. It filled up pretty fast from there on. The ice coffee was amazing where the ice cubes were coffee not water melted. Was delicious and would refill itself. The benefit was filling while also being yummy. We added the avocado toast to share with our group and was done perfectly. Would recommend the drive through town to get to this spot past the hustle and bustle. read more

The food was really good & the service was also good. I visited with my friend. I was pleasantly surprised to find a South African gem in the heart of Moab UT. We liked it so much we went the next day. I had the smoked salmon Benedict, my friend had the garden omelette & we also tried the chef's crepes. We also had Crème brûlée dessert. The Chai was so good. Reminded me of East African Chai. The flag was a giveaway otherwise I wouldn't have known. The artwork is also great & the booth seats are so comfortable! I'd definitely recommend. Forgot to take food pics but everything was good. read more

This was a solid restaurant to eat breakfast at. We got the Nutella crepes, French toast and biscuits and gravy. Nothing exceptional but nothing was bad either. We wish the gravy had more sausage in it because it was very sparse. Not sure we'd come again but it is fine to grab some breakfast at before heading out for the day. read more

What a find in the Utah desert! Fantastic breakfast on way out of town after two days in the national parks. We relaxed and ate on the patio in the shade of a mulberry tree. Attentive, friendly service by a young waiter who seems to know all the terrain of the national lands and tips what to see (thank you!). The entrees were exceptional and reasonably priced. Even the picky nieces loved their meals (uncommon!) Our compliments to the owner/chef who hails from beautiful South Africa. Please do visit this fine establishment! read more
