Description: Mosaic by Simo is a Moroccan culinary adventure in Addington. A conjuring of delectable tagines, salads and Mediterranean deli item, offering customers a fresh taste sensation of authentic, aromatic spices and flavours. Local Chef and food identity Simo established the renowned and popular Mosaic by Simo Mediterranean café & deli.Mosaic by Simo is famous for Simo’s tagines. The melt-in-your-mouth meat is slow cooked for hours in tagines – with steam rising to the top, dripping back down again and again, making the most unctuous sauce, such as the Moroccan Lamb tagine with prunes and almonds. Perfect with orange scented couscous. It is a complex infusion of fragrant herbs and spices, cooked in incremental layers. Ingredients and flavours including seasonal local produce that take you on a journey. Lemons are preserved for three months to marinate the lemon chicken tagine. The popularity of this dish underscores the effort going into the layering of flavors. Simo’s generous and tasty platters are paradise for sharing, finished with traditional mint tea, cake or marinated orange and chocolate stuffed figs. Vegan and gluten-free diners have many exquisite choices, including building your own exotic salad and tasty tapas meal for under $15. Home entertainers and weekend picnickers flock to Mosaic by Simo during the weekend, while weekday office workers and friends are drawn in for an amazing Bocadillo – a Moroccan wrap bursting with flavour yet incredibly good value. Dine-in and takeaway along with a wonderful catering service. However most diners stay to enjoy the authentic restaurant or sunny courtyard, imagining the East while on a culinary journey that is Mosaic by Simo.

Ordered the Spanish Paella - seafood & vegetable; and what was delivered to my table was a plate full of taste explosions.

The portion was a perfect size so that you're not overwhelmed with too much rice bulking the size out or not enough leaving you just as hungry leaving as you were arriving.

Staff are very pleasant and attentive ensuring you're not left waiting too long for service. Questions are answered in a manner that helps you understand the item and will go out of there way to organise modifications to any menu item ordered.

So if you're staying in or around the area including The Jailhouse Accommodation do yourself a favour and call in for one of the best meals you'll ever have.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Very enjoyable dinner with friendly, helpful and fast service from all the staff. The food was authentic and presented beautifully at a great price. The eating area is nothing 'flash' for a true dining out experience but the food more than made up for it. A return visit is a must as lots of other things to try off the menu :)

We ordered something lemon chicken and it was pretty good. Quite a big portion so value for money. Was kinda full house in the evening so might wanna make reservations if coming in big groups otherwise walk ins are welcome. Free carpark outside the eatery.
