Mo Noodles

Discover Durban's best kept secret, which, up until now, has tended to be spread by word of mouth only. Some locals have been eating there every week for the last 5 years and still love it! Mo Noodles was one of the city’s first fusion restaurants and the food varies from fusion to Eastern (Japanese/Thai). The menu caters for the Western palate with a joining of Thai and Australian influences, but the spotlight falls firmly on noodles. A perennial favourite is the chicken breast rolled in sesame seeds with chilli and peanuts, served on coconut noodles.

One of the most appealing elements in Mo's menu is the focus on health; vegetables, fish and chicken dishes are all cooked in the low-fat Eastern style. Mo's is well-known in salad circles for its inspired versions and combinations, such as sesame prawn and fruit salad in season, and the lentil and feta salad with a mint and lemon dressing.

The minimalist décor also exhibits the Eastern influence, without the often garish aspects. This allows the food and the patrons to take centre stage. The restaurant bustles and the service is efficient and friendly, indeed the majority of patrons seem to be loyal customers who are on first name terms with all the staff.

Mo's changed hands during 2003 but has remained faithful to the original formula. The chefs have been with Mo’s for years and this ensures that the quality and consistency have remained excellent. Quality is never compromised, for example only calamari imported from the Falklands is used. A hint for a cosy night in: Mo’s does take-aways.
