The host was super nice once we arrived she was lively and sat us right away, unlike a place we tried to dine at a few shops down where they seemed snobbish, Rumari is not that, they welcome you like family. The entire staff was great and friendly I love a place that gives you free bread and thats what we got plus they also serve it with a side of some green sauce/dip it was refreshing and very flavorful garlicy and citrusy. We ordered: Appetizer: meatballs comes w/3 decent sized meatballs and a piece of small garlic bread Cesar salad which was totally different from a typical American cesar, it came grilled half a romaine and deconstructed with the ingredients of an authentic cesar dressing garnished on top including the anchovy and a nice big crouton on the side. Entree: veal piccata (this was alright lacked flavor but the pasta it came with was nice and al dente and simple) Greek lamp chops (fire full of flavor came with potatoes and spinach) Dessert: chocolate souffle (forgot to take a pic but this was hot and fresh and not too sweet they pour in ice cream in the middle and some whipped cream if im not mistaken to cool it off) I highly recommend

Surprise dish was the grilled Ceasar salad and warm olives with garlic and feta. I'll never eat olives any other way again. Great for a date, a small group of friends or a celebration.

I was trying to catch up with an old friend and I felt the waiter wanting to interject the whole time. Super nice guy, but it just wasn't the right time or place for that. I can't wait to go back for date with my husband for a fun upbeat, welcoming place. They really are right about their amazing food!

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.

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.

The side salad is a great option for the price would've also love to seem more side dishes of veggies! They had a cauliflower Brussels side but was on the pricier side and had lots of sauce on it. I would come back again if I was in the area!

Food is good, service was okay, speed was disappointingly slow…read more I get that these places make their food to order so I expected a wait, but they have the word "express" in their business name so I had a false expectation. Needless to say I sat there waiting for my two to-go orders for what felt like an eternity. A lot of people flowed in after me and they were all just waiting, it was weird since it was empty when I walked in and then seeing 6 tables of people with no food. I thought I ordered the cheaper lunch special of chicken koobideh and beef koobideh, but he punched in the full portion instead. I didn't really mind as it just became extra food for dinner. But I feel like if someone is going in at the beginning of lunch time, they would be looking to order lunch menu stuff? I guess I can't expect people to do what I my logic would do. The two koobidehs is pretty much the same thing I order at any of these places because I prefer ground meat that's tender and juicy and this place did not disappoint. They were cooked to perfections with just a little crisp on the meats. Not much else to say since I only had a basic meal....meals

We ordered the combo beef and chicken plate, the beef gyro plate, and two falafel on the side. The falafel didn't look impressive, but they were surprisingly excellent--moist, flavorful, and honestly better than Sababa's. I'll definitely order six next time. The gyro plate was solid, not overly greasy or heavy, and the seasoning was just right. I wasn't a fan of the hummus, which had a bitter aftertaste, but my partner liked the tanginess, so that may come down to personal preference. On the combo plate, the chicken stood out: juicy and tender. The beef seemed to be a leaner cut and was a bit dry. I'd probably skip this particular beef kebab next time and try a different one. The saffron rice and grilled tomato were a nice complement. The plate also came with jumbo naan, served warm and smelling amazing, definitely a highlight.

The only downside is the place is very small and there was a line outside when we arrived (around 1:45pm on a Sat). Good news is that typically means the food is amazing, and was the case for us. We were quoted a 20 min wait for our table of 3 and were sat in under 15 mins. All of us loved our food and this will now be our go-to Persian/Mediterranean restaurant. One last piece of good news, the restaurant is expanding due to the popularity. I was told it will move to a larger location in the same center in about 3 weeks, located closer to PDV, to the right of the Pizza Hut as you head up hill. Do yourself a favor and try this place, you will not be disappointed.
