Bad experience. He saw the tourists arriving: - first dish ordered: sorry there are no more. - we order "Bacalao" Lagareiro. Not octopus, cod, it was very clear!! He supposedly comes back to “confirm”. He talks to me about octopus, octopuss. I tell him no, Bacalao, he looks embarrassed. And he comes back with an octopus dish (we don't like that). And then he makes me look like a liar by saying that's what we ordered. I think they were out of cod, and they thought we were idiots. To flee, the old gentleman is very bad faith. Fortunately, I managed to contain myself...

We have been to this very original restaurant. The food is very good: crab lane, (exquisite), cod in bras, vegetables in bras. The desserts are at the same level very good. The owner explaining the star dish the lane. A service 10

I loved everything. Atmosphere, service, food! 10 out of 10. The host, Mário, is a rare person, he treated us very well. We ordered the Shrimp with garlic as a starter, and for the main course we ate the house specialty, the Crab Curry (very good, and highly recommended). All in all, it was a super pleasant experience :)

The waiter made coming to the restaurant an experience, talking us through the food and how to eat it to get maximum flavour.
We had fried shrimp, the flavour was incredible (make sure you get bread because you need to get up all that flavour!)
For mains, we shared between 2 the crab curry, absolutely stunning, all worked well so perfectly.
The best service, the best food, beautiful decor, everyone visiting the AlGarve needs to come here!!

Absolutely fabulous late lunch here with my partner! We were hungry after playing 3 hours of pickleball at Rocha Brava Tennis and Pickleball Resort. The charming owner of the restaurant, from Mozambique, couldn’t have looked after us more attentively - thank you! Food he recommended was delicious. Restaurant exquisitely decorated with crafted African memorabilia. Wonderful experience while traveling along Algarve. Katharina Jelly
Delicious food, really good service, good prices. Probably the best restaurant in Alvor. I have to recommend it. The reasons: The food is really really good and the waiter explained lovely and with patience how to enjoy the food. At the end really good recommendations. Who was in Alvor and didn't eat here, missed something. We eat a day soup (Vegetables), crab curry and as dessert self made chocolate cake and passion fruit mousse. All were delicious.

Mozambi is a fantastic dining spot that offers an unforgettable culinary experience. Our meal was exceptional, featuring perfectly cooked shrimp and a delicious curry crab that was bursting with flavor. The service was equally impressive—attentive, friendly, and efficient. We highly recommend Mozambi for anyone looking for great seafood and top-notch hospitality.
Go there and follow the recommendations: we had prawns and garlic mushrooms for starters and the famous crab curry as a main dish. Excellent taste, very friendly owner, exotic ambiente.

We have had an absolutely fabulous evening. Our host hosted to the mostest and explained every dish in great detail, and all of his recommendations were excellent. I have to join the rest of the guests on here to praise the crab curry (beautiful delicate flavour with lovely flaked almond rice and orange/carrot salad). We only intended to pop in for a main course, but ended up having four (!!) and do not regret a second of it because every course was delicious. Can't wait to visit again! Thank you for having us ♥️

Not sure how many good curries some of the other reviews have had, but if you are used to UK style curry, then give this a miss. We had the crab curry which everyone raves about, but to be honest it was about as bland as you can get and without any taste of crab whatsoever. What really stunned us though was the owner explaining to us how we should eat our meal - something I learned many moons ago before I started school... There are many good restaurants in town, take my advice and try another one...

Incredible flavours and ambiance. Got the piri piri shrimp and quails to start, and for mains we got the crab curry and the monkfish + shrimp rice. The photos speak for themselves, we licked everything clean ?
What a find having passed this restaurant for years and never been in. Wonderful food and what a lovely host. Fully recommended. We were there for 6 hours.
