Waiting for food

We went to the Uvongo Mozambik restaurant to try something new and were well received and seated quickly. We arrive around 19:10. Our waitress took our drinks order but at that point told us that they could not serve liquor as their license was not issued as yet. We were disappointed but that was fine. We then placed our order for one starter and mains, which was taken around 19:40. Our starter arrived and we all shared it and was nice. We then waited for our mains, which didn't come and by around 20:45 the manager came to say that the food was being plated and would arrive in the following 5-8 minutes. At 21:00 we were getting rather annoyed and the manager avoiding us but after seeing us, came through and I said how displeased we were. He then went to check in the kitchen, however didn't come back. By 21:15 we decided that we had had enough and were extremely hungry, found our waitress, paid for our bill to that point and left. The 5 of us and our 15-month old son left extremely annoyed. While I realise they were busy, to wait that long for food was unacceptable and I cannot recommend the restaurant based upon the service, although the play area for children and the staff compliment were excellent.
