Restaurant Review: Moyo

Tonight I went with my sister and some friends to Moyo at Ushaka Marine World.  I was hoping to be wowed by the amazing entertainment and awesome cuisine, instead I was left wanting.

We arrived and headed out to end of the pier where we planned to have a chilled cocktail - the setting was idyllic, the perfect summer's evening - flat sea, great sunset, no wind....but the drinks took 45 mins and they got the order wrong!

Determined not to let that ruin the rest of our evening, we put that out of our minds and headed down to the main restaurant for dinner.  My goodness but it was hot inside!  So hot that the heat was all that you could think about....it felt like we had stumbled into an actual inferno, sweat dripping from our bodies!  (Seriously, have these guys never heard of aircon - even a fan would have been nice!)

Our waiter did do his best to accommodate us, and helped us to move the table as close to the window as he could get it....thank God for that!

Admittedly, the food was pretty good (I had a steak with pepper sauce), and the face painting and dancing were a nice touch.  It is just a pity that the service was so rushed and the restaurant was so hot!

Rating:  6/10.
Comment:  Far below par for a franchise like Moyo that's for sure!
