WOW! I have wanted to try this restaurant for a while now and it was worth the wait. Valet parking at a reasonable rate. The building has three different sections with different names, themed for what one is looking for... for example... the live music area is called... Ivan'z House Live Music Club. There's a rooftop area that is also a different name, all are part of Mozambique. We went on a Friday and it was packed. We were sat in one of their private rooms that overlook the downstairs main area. The room was intimate and much quieter than the main dining room. The whole place has a great vibe to it. Walking in, you are greeted with a huge bird cage with exotic birds. The decor is really cool and the smells of the food make one instantly hungry to try everything. The service was prompt and the staff was very kind. Now... the food. Absolutely delicious. The menu has a variety of tempting items on it, however, I wanted to try the South African food and it did not disappoint. We had somosas as an appetizer and I had the South African pie. My husband had the steak and lobster. Everything tasted amazing. We ended with a delectable dessert and a cappuccino. Afterward, we went to the bar and saw the live band setting up. Also, a cool place with a nice stage. We will definitely be back and bring the family. Thank you Mozambique for a great night. read more

I recently dined here with a friend of mine that was visiting from out of town. I specifically chose Mozambique so my friend could experience their elegant dining, service, and food. We were escorted to our table by our server and proceeded to look over the menu. Distracted by conversation my friend knocked his silverware onto the floor, we realized there was a busser nearby cleaning off another table, so we kindly asked if we could get a new set of silverware. I saw her name tag said Alicia as she turned and gave us a nasty look, responding with something along the lines of "I am not responsible for your table, if you need something ask your server not me!" Shocked and embarrassed (since I chose this restaurant to give my friend the luxurious Laguna Beach experience) we apologized for interrupting her. Unfortunately it didn't stop there, she rudely scoffed at us and walked off angrily. We were both caught off guard and tried our best to enjoy the rest of the night. Unfortunately that wasn't it, we were trying to enjoy the night and move past the incident when we noticed that she gave us multiple angry looks through the rest of the evening. We finished our meal and left, I apologized to my friend for what had happened and promised to take him to another restaurant during our trip to make up for the terrible experience we had with Alicia. I love Mozambique and dined here on a semi frequent occasion.. unfortunately I have a bad taste in my mouth for this restaurant now, and won't be returning for a while because I would hate to have another experience like this again. read more

My husband and I came here on Mother's Day weekend and spent over $300 (for context). Where do I start... unfortunately, this place was a huge disappointment for us. This restaurant has been bookmarked for me for years, and after seeing all the good reviews I had a certain level of expectation. We had a very different experience it seems, so not sure if we just went on a bad night or if we should try brunch instead of dinner, but I'm not inclined to give this place another try. I will try to keep to the top lines: 1) we were seated at 7 and didn't receive our food until 8:30. During this hour and a half, we were checked on by our server once for drinks, and once to place the order. Other than that, we were never spoken to or provided with updates on our food. We are generally pretty gracious and understanding if a restaurant is understaffed or experiencing delays for whatever reason, but no one let us know what was happening. For the price of the food, I would expect better hospitality - typically, restaurants of this caliber would explain the wait ahead of time or in the moment, and even provide free bread or something. Updates at the very least would have been appreciated. 2) while we waited 1.5 hours, staff came by at least three times asking if a dish was ours, then proceeding to ask multiple other tables the same question. It seems that the staff was all over the place. When we finally got our food, the server did not know who to give the food to, and kept trying to hand us the wrong dishes. This can be forgiven, but just added to the pattern of service being sloppy (for lack of a better term). To add to this, the host stand was also quite confused when we checked in and we witnessed a staff member tell their co host that they "should not be doing this job anymore" ..... 3) the food was okay, quite underwhelming. The biggest downfall was the steamed veggies that came with 2 of the 4 dishes. They were unseasoned veggies, the kind that come with hospital food or cheap hotel meals. Just plain steamed veggies. 1 star for the prawns and Chilean sea bass (the fish itself), 1 star for them trying read more

Impeccable service all the way around. One of the most tender filets we've ever had. Looking forward to the rooftop sunset

Reservations are easy to make! Highly recommended sitting on the rooftop, second floor has a dance floor and live music. Bathroom is super small, only 2 stalls so it gets very crowded. Valet parking. Food was good. Oysters were delicious, filet was yummy, french fries were delicious. Drinks were strong! Service was great! Highly recommended! read more

We're giving this a 3-star review solely because of our previous experience with our server, Jamie. The first time we dined here was incredible--so much so that we made the effort to drive out of town to come back for a special date night. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to that experience at all. The service tonight wasn't even comparable. When our server finally came to the table, I tried to order fries I thought I had before. Realizing I was mistaken, I showed him a photo of what I meant. He said he knew what I was referring to but mentioned there would be an upcharge since they were from the happy hour menu--which I was completely fine with. What we were served, however, was extremely disappointing. The fries were drenched in an overwhelming amount of sauce--to the point where they were essentially inedible. It was surprising they were even sent out that way. Our server wasn't helpful in addressing the issue, and overall the service felt inattentive and disengaged. The entire experience felt uncomfortable rather than enjoyable. The food was average at best, and the service fell short. Jamie truly set the standard during our first visit--he's one of the best servers we've ever had, and he made the entire experience memorable. If he had been there tonight, this would easily be a 5-star review. Even with average food, he elevates the experience. read more

We came to the rooftop vibes and left happy and full! Such a beautiful restaurant nestled amongst other restaurants and lounges with the entrance presenting 2 live parrots and a toucan! They were sitting beautifully with their cage wide open and snacking on fresh fruit. As you walk upstairs to the rooftop you're greeted with a hostess who seats you and hands you menus. The sun was shining beautifully and our waiter set up the umbrellas to shade our table. We enjoyed cocktails and some appetizers. The samosas were perfectly crispy and warm with a zesty dipping sauce. The calamari was tasty and came with a side of sweet potato fries. We did think the calamari could've been crispier. We also had the seafood salad that had a hefty amount of seafood, from large shrimps and scalps to thin slices of calamari. The salad came with two sides of dressing but already had a citrus vinaigrette drizzled on top and it was perfect as is. For our lunch we ordered the salmon and periperi prawns that were cooked to perfection! The salmon was grilled and moist on the inside. The prawns grilled perfectly and sweet. We couldn't get enough of the steamed veggies that came on the side, so much that we ordered an additional side of steamed veggies. Overall we were very pleased with this restaurant and can't wait to come back! read more

This establishment gets 5 stars just for the amazing service! From the valet to the hostess and the waiter, every staff at Mozambique was super friendly and accommodating. We came during lunch to celebrate a birthday and the hostess downstairs noticed the cake we were holding and offered to keep it in the fridge. At the end of our meal, the waitstaff brought out the cake with fresh plates with utensils and candles. We were in a seafood mood so only got seafood dishes from the menu. Was expecting more bold African flavor but the food we got didn't have that oomph. They were nonetheless enjoyable and the seafood tasted fresh. The rooftop area is very nice and the umbrellas cover practically every corner so no matter where you sit, you are protected. Would love to come back during sunset time to soak in the view. read more

We came for Valentine's Day lunch and had a wonderful time. Reservations were easy to make. Rooftop seating with a view is first come but we got lucky and group just left. We tried the sample plate for 2, south African pie, and pork chop. Everything was delicious. The peri peri chicken was a bit spicy if you have children with you. But they are very kid friendly to my surprise for being a trendy spot. They gave a coloring page and crayons. Staff was nice. The vibes were great. The food was delicious and the view was nice. read more

Mozambique's rooftop sunset dining experience is an excellent choice for our large group, especially with the great ocean views over Laguna Beach. Kudos to the staff for trying their best to accommodate our request to have more shade before the sun set. We enjoyed the shareable options--small plates, seafood, and hearty entrées. Service is attentive and organized even though it was busy. I had food coma. And I'm not complaining. read more

My friend and I went for a fancy dinner together because we had never dressed up and wanted to roleplay lol. The food was yummy, the prices were honestly pretty good, it was right by the beach so it was beautiful and very fun. We went at night so we couldn't see much, but during the day or a night with a full moon would be spectacular. The waiter also was very nice and let me try a sample of the wine before I ordered which I appreciated since I'd never really tried wine. The french fries here, the spicy ones were sooo good definitely try those. There was also a dancing area downstairs!!?? We didn't get a chance to try it out since it was closing, but we're making plans to go back and try it! read more

Laguna Beach: South African fare at this very large, unique restaurant with a rooftop that allows you to gaze on that beautiful Pacific Ocean. Wonderful ambience and plenty of heaters to dine comfortably on those rare cold nights. Fixed $ Valet parking only unless you can find a space on the streets. We came too late for Happy Hour, but definitely worth getting there early because the menu looked fabulous. There were so many choices for HH which drew us there, but we managed to find plenty of alternatives off the regular menu. Halal choices. Peri-Peri Chicken was very delicious with some spicy sauces on the side. The Portobello Mushroom stack was tender and devoured in no time. Very unique culinary delight. The Beet Salad was a great addition to our non-happy hour dinner. Service was perfect with just enough attention. The place is worth ambling about with their three stories and seating for 750. Of course it's a special delight to see the beautiful parrots and toucan as you enter. Lovely place off PCH. read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday! Service was pretty friendly and overall the inside was very cozy (rooftop was closed due to weather). The building layout is kind of confusing, however.

Just wanted to preface this review by saying that it was probably slammed packed for Valentine's Day and everyone was trying their best. From beginning to end, it probably took over two and a half hours--most of it spent waiting. We were served the amuse bouche course as soon as we sat down, which in hindsight was probably meant for another table. Spent close to 30 minutes waiting to order drinks and food. Took about half that to get starters but did not get entree for another 30. Flagged down someone and got the dishes right after, so I feel like our food was sitting out. Similar wait time for both the check and dessert. Honestly, I witnessed multiple frantic servers bring the wrong items to multiple tables. Saw multiple parties walk out after waiting much longer than us for entrees. Food was alright. Amuse bouche was not good; scampi was fine but the beet ravioli tasted like straight beet -- couldn't taste goat cheese or mint etc. Starters was nothing to write home about. Entrees (sea bass & ribeye) were the saving grace, quite good, flavorful, texture was right. Dessert (Portuguese butter pudding & flourless ganache) was OK, wouldn't elect to order it outside of the prix fixe. Overall, I feel like they oversold and under delivered for the holiday. I don't know if I would come back again just for entrees, maybe on a weekday lunch... read more

Had a wonderful day sitting rooftop at Mozambique. Started off with the sampler and Mozambique Lager. I decided on the Mixed Grill plate with filet, prawns, peri peri chicken and mashed potatoes. I also decided to get a seafood salad. My son enjoyed his burger and my wife really liked the linguine. The service was good and the view was beautiful. read more

This place is huge, beautiful, and great for big groups. We had a party of 20 with a reservation and were seated in their patio area on the ground floor. I know there is a rooftop, but it was already occupied by another party. Their patio was also very pretty though! Our servers were all kind and attentive for our big group and the food was delicious! They have happy hour on the weekend starting at 3pm, which is what we mostly ordered from. They also allowed us to store our cake in the freezer and they charge a $2pp cake fee. Their peri peri sauce is so good! They serve it on fries, chicken, and prawns. We were ordered most of the dishes on the happy hour menu and enjoyed it all, from the calamari, wings, wild fries, samosas, salmon, halibut, South African pie. Great drinks too! We went with a South African Chardonnay that was really good. This is a great place to celebrate with a big group! read more

Mozambique - Peri-Peri Chicken - Steakhouses Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Solid spot for happy hour on a rooftop! Happy hour is Wednesday - Sunday from 3-5pm which is great for locals and visitors. I got a tequila soda & lime for $8 and an order of the calamari. To start, the drink was made with love -- I'll leave it at that. The calamari was served in strips with sweet potato fries which threw me off a little bit, but everything tasted good (the dipping sauces were delish) and for $10, you can't really go wrong. The rooftop is definitely a vibe, try to get a seat by the glass if you're able to for optimal views. They have the rooftop covered with umbrellas to escape the summer sun which was really nice. The service was fast and everyone was really friendly. I want to come back and try some of their happy hour dishes for $15 -- they looked and smelled amazing. Overall, I recommend checking this spot out! read more

We just wrapped our second year hosting a networking event at Mozambique rooftop, and they continue to exceed expectations. The venue is absolutely gorgeous with incredible views, and the overall experience feels elevated from the moment you arrive. Parking is easy, valet is seamless and adds to the luxury feel, and the entire process is thoughtfully managed from start to finish. The events team is fantastic. They are proactive, communicative, and incredibly organized. They provide helpful tools like floor plans, linens, red velvet rope stanchions, and make it easy to execute within your budget without sacrificing quality. The food is great, and they do an excellent job accommodating allergies and non-drinkers with delicious mocktails and NA wine options, which is something I really appreciate. A special thank you to Kim Harden, Senior Events Manager, who is responsive, proactive, and truly makes everything feel easy. Our service team: Jose T and Greg were also a dream to work with. They were attentive, fun, and made us feel genuinely taken care of. It felt like they were part of our group, not just the venue team. Highly recommend for anyone looking to host a polished, memorable event. read more

What a cool place! Seriously you gotta go here sometime. There's 3 levels to enjoy! A rooftop bar, a 2nd floor club, and a ground level restaurant. Plus a huge bird cage with a couple parrots and a toucan! Came here on a Saturday and had such a great time. Make reservations as it can get pretty busy. The rooftop bar area was filled and ran out of even walk up list spaces. We ate at the restaurant which was honestly amazing. There are a few different rooms with different decorations making for a really fun experience. We sat on the patio just outside the Parrot Room right next to a cool fire pit. It was a nice intimate experience for me and my fiancé. We started off with a couple apps, the peri peri chicken pops (really skewers) which were super flavorful and actually quite a bit of food. We also got the ceviche which was tasty to the last bite. Can't forget the portobello mushroom appetizer which was refreshing and pretty big. For dinner we got a caesar salad to share, it was fresh and crisp with a delicious dressing. We also shared 2 entrees, the Mixed Grill and the Pan-seared Salmon. The mixed grill came with a peri peri chicken skewer, a wood grilled tiger prawn, a boerewors farmer's sausage, and a 6oz filet mignon. No lie it was all so good, the filet was cooked perfectly. It came with a side of grilled onions, perfect with the steak, and yukon gold mashed potatoes which were delicious. The Pan-seared Salmon was seasoned just right with lemon pepper and dill. It came with a succotash of potato, asparagus, fava beans, carrots, peas, yellow pepper, and arugula. I couldn't get enough of the succotash honestly. That was all served on top of a basil buerre blanc that paired perfectly with the dish. We were celebrating our anniversary and the restaurant was kind enough to bring us out a dessert of bread pudding and ice cream which we completely devoured! It was warm and just sweet enough. Our server was completely on top of everything, bringing fresh drinks and water the whole time. The main entrees were a bit slow to come out but she let us know we weren't forgotten and apologized for the delay. Totally acceptable. Definitely plan on going back again. We were so full and satisfied after that we went home and took a nap! Thanks Mozambique for such a great experience! read more

The fish of the day was delicious with olives and capers and my husband enjoyed his big steak dinner. The only minor detail where I see it can be improved with the chocolate dessert. I feel that it's very rich and that it needs more ice cream than what is provided read more

We came here to celebrate Valentine's Day and it was extremely disappointing from start to finish. We waited over 30 minutes for someone to take our order and more than an hour for appetizers that never arrived, so we ultimately decided to leave. Throughout the night we could hear food runners using inappropriate language, which felt very unprofessional and took away from the experience. The automatic 18% gratuity and high prices did not match the level of service at all. My boyfriend and I had to scramble to find another reservation last minute just to salvage our evening. read more

If you're looking for a different type of cuisine to try, food with a great view depending on where you are sitting, lively atmosphere, and great service...this place checks all those boxes. Right when we sat down, Mariana was super attentive and helpful with ordering as our group of 9 had no idea what to order. My review is for the food I got as there was just too much going on at our table lol. My buddy and I shared the sampler plate. Wow! That was one of the better samplers of any restaurant I've been to as it wasn't your typical potatoes and fried cheese. This was like a surf & turf plate and had really great portions. My main course I got the peri peri chicken and that was delicious. I'll be back for sure! read more

What a nice place to grab some food and the drink menu looked nice too. An open deck with plenty of seating and a bar to sit at, looking out over PCH and a nice view of the ocean ( if there's no fog ) HINT HINT* between 3pm-6pm happy hour if you can make it highly recommend. A very pleasant atmosphere with very nice service and some pretty good food. Started off with the calamari appetizer which was absolutely delicious. The calamari nice small cuts with a good crisp. Tender not to firm meat with good flavor. The sweet potato fries are very good, nicely cook and lightly salted. The peri-peri sauce is a good tang while the cilantro lime aioli is a solid compliment. The sky burger is a decent burger with onion cheese and tomato. The only down side is the bun is a tad dry so it needs a bit more sauce to combat that dryness. But if you add some of that cilantro lime aioli....so good!!! The salmon with rice and broccoli and carrot is a nice piece of fish with blanc sauce is good flavor and complimenting it well is the Mozambique rice.broccoli was cooked but still had some crunch to it making it an overall good textural dish with good flavor Had to give the Portuguese hot butter pudding a try. It was delicious. A nice firm top with a wet bottom combined with the fruit and whipped cream made for a flavorful end. Will definitely be back to try more things! read more

Where do I start? I went here yesterday with my family for Mother's Day. When entering the parking lot there's no normal parking, they force you to do valet. If you don't want valet have fun finding street parking. Luckily we were seated quickly. We ordered ceviche as an app. It came and we had eaten all the chips but there was still half of the ceviche left, so as one would do we asked for more chips since there wasn't enough. They brought a small bowl of chips with around 10-12 chips. My mom had ordered the salmon that came with potatoes and veggies. When the plate came there were no potatoes. The funny part is the family next to us ordered the same thing and theirs also came without potatoes. My sandwhich was really not that great. The chicken had a weird flavor. When the bill came they charged us $4 for the extra chips. RIDICULOUS. The bill said "Avacado -SI" I asked what that meant and the waitress said "yeah we don't have a button for the side of chips.." if you don't have a button then that means you shouldn't the charging. The ceviche clearly didn't come with enough chips that's why we asked for more. Another couple behind us was complaining about their bill as well. To the people that rant and rave about how good the place is must be getting free food or something because there's no way I'd come back. The only cool thing was the toucan and the macaws out front. read more

From start to finish, our experience at this spot was nothing short of amazing! We made a reservation for 4:30 and were seated on the rooftop, where we enjoyed stunning views of the beach. The rooftop bar set the perfect tone with some great, soulful oldies playing in the background--just the right mix to create a relaxed yet lively atmosphere. For dinner, we ordered the New York strip with broccolini and the broiled salmon salad. Both dishes were cooked to perfection, flavorful, and well-presented. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we decided to stay for the reggae show later in the evening. The show, held on the second level, had a $10 cover and started at 7:30. Let me tell you--the band was hittin'! The energy in the room was contagious, with everyone dancing, vibing, and truly soaking in the moment. As the night went on, we ordered more drinks and a charcuterie board, which came beautifully arranged with a variety of nuts, cheeses, meats, figs, and grapes. Everything was delicious, and we honestly didn't want to leave, but eventually, our feet told us it was time to call it a night. This place is a must-visit, and we'll definitely be back to stay even longer next time. Reservations are highly recommended because the place filled up quickly--it's clearly a popular spot for a reason! read more

We landed at Mozambique for dinner and bought a table to ring in the new year. Unfortunately, the bands were not danceable in my opinion. (I was definitely misled) I think they have some kinks to work out as far as the management and staff issues . I pleaded with them to turn the music down to a level that we could at least have a conversation during dinner and I was told they needed to keep the vibe up. I'm not sure what's going on with this new club portion of Mozambique . I think we definitely expected more higher quality for Laguna Beach folks. We did enjoy the food. read more

Mozambique has a beautiful rooftop deck to enjoy a meal while you watch the sunset. You can have a seated dinner or just get drinks at the bar. We hit the bar while we were waiting as they said the wait would be 20-30 minutes. Luckily enough for us we barely ordered drinks and our table was ready in less than 10. The service was decent. Not the best to be honest, but the delicious food made up for it! I wasn't sure what to expect from "African fusion" food as I've never had it. The closest thing I could relate it to would be Indian food and it was AMAZING! We ordered samoosas and Zanzibar Hummus and Pita for appetizers and they were so delish! For mains we got the Durban Curry and Peri-peri chicken. Would definitely order both again! I wasn't sure what to expect read more

Delicious food, amazing, views, and friendly helpful staff. We were staying nearby at the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach for my birthday and Mozambique sent a luxury car to pick us up for our dinner reservations. This place was buzzing with life and we were quickly seated at our table just in time to order drinks and appies as the sun set. For dinner we all chose different entrees and mine was the tables favorite. The cherry glaze was a lovely touch. For dessert they surprised me with the most delicious chocolate soufflé a la mode. Thank you Mozambique! We will be back super soon! read more
