Our first trip to Mussel Monger was by far the best. We tried the tempura mussels and they were excellent. We had tried dishes from two different restaurants, and these... read more were clearly the hands-down winners. Counter staff friendly and helpful. Mussels outstanding.

Visit number 2 was during load shedding. I would have thought that Mojo Mall would have a generator, but clearly, no power is outside the span of control of the restaurant.

Visit number 3 - on a Monday at 13:25. Load shedding had ended at 10:30 that morning, so we were all jazzed about each getting our own plate of mussels. Wrong! Sadly, they had just received their delivery (at 1:25 in the afternoon) and so there wouldn't be any mussels ready for at least 40 minutes. Really?

If the people who deliver your seafood are unreliable, then either find another company, or send one of your staff in a taxi and go get it so that it is READY when you open at 11am.

Receiving the delivery 2.5 hours after you were scheduled to open just doesn't cut it.

Sorry, Mussel Monger, 3 strikes and you're out - although we are very sad to say that.
