Gorgeous contemporary African decor is spread on five floors and an alfresco terrace, with billowing tents and large leather sofas. Ladies sing while they wash your hands, and musicians stroll among the tables. Dishes are from all over Africa: Nigerian soups, Moroccan tajines, Mozambique piri-piri seafood, Egyptian salads, Ethiopian stews and South African potjies. There are other branches in Zoo Lake Park and next to Market Theatre in Newtown, but Moyo at Melrose Arch is the original and still the best. Open daily for lunch and dinner.
