The food is very tasty and some would say this is what you are paying for, however we all felt that the portions were quite small and not worth the $ value. Dishes served were the Lamb shank on special ($28) - the size of the shank was incredibly small on both plates, equivalent to about two tablespoons of meat.... More

We discovered Out of Africa when my husband gave me a recipe book by the owner! 'Moroccan Modern' is so full of delicious flavors that, when we learned that its owner had a restaurant, we decided to look it up. Luckily our hotel concierge knew the place and could set us on the right track next time we were in... More

We headed here for lunch while spending a beautiful day exploring Manly. It was highly recommended by a guide book, and the choice was a very good one. Traditional and more modern Moroccan dishes, all delicious, served by an attentive and helpful waiter. If you enjoy Moroccan cuisine, or wish to try it, this is a great choice. More

We enjoyed a dinner at Out of Africa on our last night in Manly. The food was lovely (we bought a cookbook written by the chef), and the waiters were very willing if a bit inexperienced. We'd definitely go back. More

Love this style of food but unfortunately tthere are only 1 or 2 in Sydney that serve this quality African food - it becomes a destination restaurant but fortunately the food and location make it worthwhile More

Nice ambience, though probably a bit crowded at least in the open-air part. Tasty food, though not sure if its exactly Moroccan, seemed like a melange of multiple cuisines including something like tapas. Had a nice cocktail of passion fruit and pomegranate juice. Good courteous and efficient service. We used a groupon, so din't mind the price, but otherwise on... More

We ordered a starter for 4 of us, then 2 mains and a couscous, this was a good amount of food for sharing. The food tasted incredible and the service was good, they were there when we needed something but not hovering over us. Food was reasonably priced, along with our food we had two bottles of wine and it... More
