    egusi soup and chicken paired with fufu (swallow)

    First time trying African cuisine and it was very hard to find restaurants in my area. Saaraloge's Kitchen is a virtual kitchen, so it was a little surprise for me and my boyfriend to drive to an apartment complex but it was easy to get the gist after! You can phone in and place your order; I asked for the egusi with chicken stew and cassava fufu, which seems to be popular with recurring clientele. After placing the order, you can zelle and it will be about an hour wait since the food is cooked fresh. The person who handed me my order was very sweet! The food itself came piping hot, and although the $30 price tag is a little dismaying, the portions they give you are definitely worth it! The egusi soup was very flavorful and sort of had the consistency similar to scrambled eggs and the two drumsticks I received were cooked beautifully tender. It's a little oily, but mixing with the warm egusi was really good! On the other hand, the fufu (it's listed as swallow) was soft and moldable just like I see on other review videos. There's not much of a taste to it when eaten by itself except for a slight citrus lemony taste that sort of threw me off. I cannot say I was a fan of that but obviously, it was meant to be paired with the stew, which turned out to be the best part of the meal. I know that typically it's not meant to be chewed, so it took a few bites of chewing. However, I WILL say that swallowing the fufu with the stew actually tastes much better (probably why it's called swallow LOL). Try taking the fufu in small increments and swallow with the stew is the tip! Overall, we were first hesitant trying Nigerian food but this place changed it! Will be ordering again when we're craving it

    It was my first time trying Fufu and Egusi. Let me just say, OMG. the Egusi is so flavorful and the order came with a good amount of food. She was also super friendly too! I would definitely recommend

    Jollof, rice and chicken and plantains plantain was good that's about it. Everything else was dry.

    For the portion I give you is not worth a price I'm always trying to help out striving chef but the cost is getting very costly and very far and I know how to make it. I've just been lazy. Will I recommend this place. No, it left an after taste in my mouth taste like soap. The chicken is dry. I'm trying to help people out here. I tried it what a waste did not taste good I guess I should just stick to Ethiopian food and my own cooking since I'm a chef

    Food has so much flavor and dishes are a very good in size. Got the spicy beef egusi and it came with a large portion of fufu. Will be coming back to try the rest of the menu!

    Egusi and pounded yam

    The food was fresh, The service was prompt, and the quality was not lacking. I would order from her again.

The first place I tried had all of the food premade so I was not able to substitute. I was so bummed. Then, I found this little gem! This place was able to cater the food to my liking and it was fantastic!!! They make everything fresh so you can make the food fit to your taste buds. I was able to get my orders with no crayfish and spicy! Being Vietnamese, I know that sometimes what your culture likes does not fit with other people's taste- ie fish sauce. Thus, I am happy they didn't judge when I said "hold the crayfish." I got fufu, okra & beef stew, and tomato stew with oxtail. Wow!!! I had extra for 2 more meals! Definitely coming back!

I ordered their fufu combo which comes with egisu, goat meat (there are other options if you wanted something else), and fufu. I wanted Eba as well but they didn't have anymore. Instead they gave me an extra fufu. The Egisu was really good! It made me so happy to enjoy this lol. The spices were wonderful and not overpowering. The fufu was smooth and doughy. The goat complemented all the other components really well. The only downside were the hidden chunks of bone in the meat. I crunched down pretty hard and was shocked that I didn't see it coming. Otherwise the food was amazing and I'd order it again! Also got fried plantains and they were a nice way to complement the meal.

The egusi was amazing and the fufu ball was perfect consistency, light and moist, a wonderful cloud to accompany your egusi. The egusi was my favorite, but the rice, fish and plantains were good too. There are plenty of tables, seating and parking. I loved the small but private parking lot. There is pretty are on the walls and a TV playing if you want entertainment. The ambiance is peaceful and tasteful. Service was kind and friendly. There was a man who was very helpful and considerate of our lack of knowledge. He made recommendations and we asked for low spice--and the spice level was perfect in the egusi! The egusi had just enough spice for flavor but not too much to ruin out meal for us (spice wimps!). We are thankful. This weekend we were just passing Long Beach, but we will definitely return again, looking forward to more Nigerian food - worth the trip just for the food.

I came here because I've been wanting to try Nigerian food for the longest time. I ordered through doordash their beef egusi that came with fufu. It was about $28 for one portion. They put the beef on the side and it was dry AF. The flavor was okay but it was difficult to swallow since it was so dry. The egusi unfortunately had a strong fishy smell to it that was off putting. The fufu was probably the best thing there. I also gave some to two other girls to try and they felt the same. Unfortunately I was very disappointed in everything and didn't even finish my meal. That is rare for me. I also didn't like that when I came my order wasn't ready. I think they didn't even see my order. This place is small and casual. The two ladies working there were nice. The foods look pre-made. They also sell some grocery items in store. There is a few tables and chairs inside and outside. It's located in a business area by the round about.

We were placed in a table on the roof that had a great view of the ocean and Laguna Beach. We were greeted by our waiter Juan and informed him about my Ladies birthday. He came back with a card wishing my lady a Happy Birthday with a Toucan on the cover. A nice Indaba Chardonnay from South Africa was ordered for my Lady. A nice sized pour of this wine and a glass of ice with a spoon was promptly delivered. We ordered the Seafood platter for two. Our dinner was delivered in a large platter with grilled lobster tails, butterflied prawns, shrimp, scallops and fried squid strips. Accompanying the seafood were bowls of hot melted butter and peri peri pepper sauce. The chefs knew how to properly cook seafood as everything was done to perfection. I am a home cook and a fisherman so I know how to cook fish and shellfish correctly. Enjoying the view we slowly ate our meal. Our water Juan was very attentive but not to the point of hovering over us. After we finished eating a complementary Birthday dessert was brought to our table with a lighted candle. My Lady made her wish and blew out the candle. The dessert was Mozambiques famous Banana Bread Pudding and a cup of vanilla ice cream. The bread pudding was covered in toasted macadamia nuts, blueberries, strawberries and boysenberries. The dessert was like the dinner delicious. Each piece of fruit was perfectly ripe and sweet. The meal, the atmosphere and the service deserve the 5 Star rating. I will definitely recommend Mozambique to friends and family and my lady and I are already discussing when to return there again for dinner!

Overall, the food is decent, and the restaurant has always appeared clean when I've visited. However, they are on the expensive side, and the quality and consistency do not always match what they charge. The efo riro is probably the strongest dish I've tried and the main thing I would order again, although it could still use a little more seasoning. The moi moi is also good. I would skip the amala until they improve the preparation. Proper amala should be smooth, but the one I received was extremely lumpy, with small clumps throughout. It tasted like it had been prepared by someone who had not yet mastered the technique. I also tried the ila alasepo, and I would not order it again. It was visually very unappetizing, with a consistency that looked completely wrong for the dish. More importantly, the okra did not draw at all. That is a basic requirement of properly prepared ila alasepo, and if the okra does not draw, it should not be served. I received three pieces of goat meat, and two were bony rib pieces with hardly any meat. At $35, serving mostly bones is unacceptable. It might pass with customers who are unfamiliar with how ila alasepo should look and taste, but anyone who knows the dish will immediately recognize that the execution was a complete failure. My first meat pie was good, but later orders were disappointing. The crust lacked the buttery richness and tenderness a good meat pie should have, the seasoning in the filling tasted off, and the filling needed better binding. The ayamase was excessively oily, while the red stew tasted almost raw and underdeveloped. The meat tasted as though it had been cooked separately and added afterward, rather than being properly braised in the sauce so it could absorb the flavor. The food is not bad across the board, but much of it is bland-adjacent, and the execution is inconsistent. Their prices are their prices, but at that price point, the food should be flavorful, refined, and consistently well prepared. They get a few things right, particularly the efo riro and moi moi, but the overall quality needs to catch up with the cost. They can do better.
