Great place to go to try something different. Some of the food was beautiful but some was very not to my liking. Suggest first time goers (who know nothing about their food) to try a banquet. It is quite pricey and servings seem quite small.
Small, intimate and authentic styled restaurant in quite a hard to find location. Try did traditional coffee bean roasting between main course and desert which smelt divine and really did cleanse your palate. Only African ladies work at this restaurant and they all had beautiful & inspiring stories to tell, though food service was a little difficult for them due to language barrier.

Approximate cost: $35

Really wanted to try African food so bought a groupon and dined at Muooz. The decor is nice and the food interesting. Ordered a shared platter with four dishes. These came served on enjera which was pancake like but had a slightly sour taste to it. The dish I liked the most was chicken zighni which was very spicy. Other dishes on the platter included kantisha, lamb molikya and qulwa. Though I found some dishes very different to what I'm used to, I enjoyed the experience.

The lady who owns this restaurant is absolutely lovely and deserves to be supported. We weren't that delighted with the food but given that it is authentic Ethiopian fare, an acquired taste may be required. Try it for something different.

Muooz is a community based enterprise run by a group of refugee women from Eritrea, Africa. This restaurant is unique and it's quite rare to come across authentic cuisine from this pocket of the world. The food is very delicious and cooked so well! Everyone I was with also had a fab time!

Mu'ooz is tucked away at the back of an old arcade so the decor isn't the best, however, the aroma of the food and the coffee lures you in and all else is forgotten! The restaurant wasn't busy so the service was great and food came to our table very quickly and plates were cleared away equally efficiently.

The food! Yum yum! At Mu'ooz, you can either order a particular dish or try a tasting plate containing up to five different dishes of traditional Eritrean cuisine ... the tasting plate is the way to go if you've never tried the food before as you receive a generous portion of each dish (much more than just a mouthful) and plenty of delicious injera as an accompaniament and eating implement.

Mu'ooz means tasty and healthy in Tigrinyan (the language of Eritrea and parts of Ethiopia) and was established as a social enterprise to provide employment for refugee women and their families from African countries. My daughter discovered this restaurant when at university studying social enterprise. Needing a case study for the subject, a work colleague of hers told her about the efforts of the woman who started the project and my daughter decided to begin her research by eating. As they say .... the rest is history and the restaurant is now one of her favourites.

Once a month, a group of friends all loosely connected through my daughter, try a different Brisbane restaurant just for the love of good food. This month it was Mu'ooz and none of us were disappointed.

If you're prepared to relax, try some different foods and have a bit of fun, Mu'ooz is the place for you.
