    Chicken and beef egusi with yam - spicy version
    Aaron H.

    Really enjoyed this place. The egusi was delicious, the yam was on point, and the food overall was great. What really made the experience special was the service--the owner was super friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, like eating at home. Pro tip: order the egusi spicy. It takes it to another level. The food was so good I forgot to take a picture when it came out. Pardon the already completed meal.

    Service was ok. I think there's better African food out here. The menu doesn't match what you'll actually be charged, meat in the egusi was extremely dry (beef and chicken) and they charge an extra $2 to make it spicy. Not flavorful at all. Can't judge ambiance because it was empty

    Pounded Yam with Egusi (fufu)

    Food and service were great. The ambiance and decorations of the restaurant completed it. Staff were very hospitable, nice, and knew what to serve. We got 2 orders of fufu and egusi and 1 order of jollof rice and they were delicious, would definitely recommend.

    Fufu & Egusi Soup with Meat was our fav!!!.

    The Fufu & Egusi was To drooool for!!!!My family and I traveled to Miami from Orlando to try their fufu and egusi! It was sooo good, we tried another spot previously and it was a very interesting experience to say the least, and have not tired again until we had this place! The owners here I assume, greeted us and were very friendly! The gentleman knew exactly what we came for, we were a party of 3 and he said he would bring us the top three dishes and he did not lie, Everything hit the spot...soooo good!!!We had fufu with egusi, jollof rice with mixed meat and sweet plantains, and fufu with okra! If you want fufu and egusi and you're in the Miami area, TRY THIS SPOT, you will not be disappointed! They also had a cute pool table and my favorite Caribbean music on, I could not keep still, I wanted to just get up and dance!!!! There was a sink outside the restroom to wash your hands before and after, as things do tend to get pretty messy eating with your hands. I cant wait to go back!!!

    Egusi soup, red stew, assorted meats.

    Looking for authentic Nigerian food in Miami? Look no further.... A warm welcome as you enter the establishment. Menu is very simple as it should be. No fuss at all. The pepper gizzard is a must. I ordered the Amala and the egusi soup with assorted meats. The egusi comes with red stew. Fresh, right temperature, with perfect amount of spice. Obviously, no other way but to eat with your hands. Enjoy your food with afrobeat vibes. 2nd visit. Btw, takes me 2 hours to get here. Best spot in Miami.

    Efo with beef, chicken, and pounded yam.

    My friend, a Nigeria-born and resident of Germany came to visit America for the first time and we decided to hit Miami (my first time visiting MIA also). We kinda wanted something homey our first day in, so we decided to try Moji. I went for the Efo with pounded yam, and he got the Egusi. There was only one waitress and the restaurant was completely packed out. From start to finish, it took us 2.5 hours to eat at this place (we waited soooo long to place the order and to receive it). The reason I even mention that is because if you're trying to have a quick lunch break, this isn't the place for that (I'd suggest calling your order ahead). The waitress, a young lady (sounded like she was possibly from London) was very sweet and tried her best to get everybody's order, so I give her efforts a 10 Now the atmosphere is chill, they have Afrobeat playing in the background. They have a sink to wash your hands before you eat. They have two restrooms available to the customer. So about the food. I was impressed that the dish comes with both beef and chicken (score)! My efo riro had a very strong unusual smell (sort of like Parmesan cheese) and the Spinach was cut into big chunks (a lot bigger than any place I've ever been to). The beef was tender, the chicken was a little rubbery. The flavor was okay despite the aroma. I gave my dish 3.5 out of 5. So my friend gave his Egusi a 2. He was not impressed at all. He was actually disappointed in his meal. The pounded yam was fresh, but it was very lumpy according to my friend, I happened to enjoy the little bites of yam. We gave it a 3.5 Over all we give this place 3 stars out of 5 because we believe it could've been a lot better, however if I was in the area regularly I would eat here again.

    I tried the Egusi soup. Although the flavor was decent, the meat used in the soup did not taste fresh.

    Casual spot, kinda off on its own in a plaza so parking is easy…read more Friendly service, seems family owned. Food is outstanding. Flavors are incredible. Can be on the spicer side for sensitive palettes. Vegan friendly (lots of variety) but also really flavorful meat options. I also enjoyed the oregano tea. There are shareable plates but you can also get your own. I was really impressed with their vegetable lineup that was equally good as a main, not just some side dish. Do be prepared to eat with your hands! But you can also request some silverware. It's a little out of my way, but definitely will be back and worth the trip.

    So, I'm from NYC, and my neighborhood back home featured not one, but TWO Ethiopian restaurants! It…read moreis a cuisine that I crave and miss DEARLY now that I have put down roots in SoFL. Having said this, I can't begin to tell you how excited I was to find Awash! I happened to be working in No. Miami and as always, no road trip will happen in my life without a laundry list of restaurants to try, and Awash popped up in my search! YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!! I walked in and immediately the scent of butter & berbere wafted over me - causing me immense joy! The restaurant is very homey and unassuming. The staff is LOVELY! So welcoming and warm. I ordered Doro Wot, a small side of Zilzil Wot, Ethiopian salad and a small side of Alicha Wot - and some extra injera for sopping and I was NOT disappointed! Everything was deep, rich, complex and TOTALLY SATIFYING to body and soul. I will DEFINITELY be back - with my Fat Kid elastic waist pants on - to enjoy a sit-down feast!

I also purchased Crunchie candy bars and a small bag of Flings which are shaped like cheese curls. The Flings have a unique flavor and I like it. The Crunchie bar is very crunchy with a buttery, toffee and caramel flavor. Keep the candy bar in the fridge for the crisp taste. The spinach with feta cheese is the best I have tasted. If you like feta and spinach, I do recommend you to try. I will be going back.

    Meal in a pie ... more like LOVE in a pie! A friend of mine recommended this spot to me and I…read morecompletely understand why he loves it so much! I should've came months ago when he told me because I've been missing out. My boyfriend and I popped in on a Sunday shortly after they opened and were immediately greeted by a smiling, friendly woman wearing a Florida Panthers (Go Cats!) shirt so I already knew I was going to enjoy this place. The inside is super clean, organized and really easy to order. They have some tables outside, however we were planning on eating them down by the beach. As we stood there trying to decide which pies we wanted, she was sooo patient with us. Then, along came another smiling, friendly gentleman and I asked them both for help picking my third pie because I simply couldn't decide. We went with the chicken curry, lamb curry and beef steak (having to refrain myself from buying more)! Holy molyyyyyy these pies are beyondddd delicious. This is probably the only time I'll admit that the more crumbs I had on my shirt, the better! I have never tasted a more flaky, buttery, perfectly baked pastry like that in my life! The filling inside of each pie was fresh, hot, and absolutely made with LOVE! Both the chicken and lamb meat were sooo tender it made it so easy to enjoy; each bite we kept saying to each other: "wow!! this is good!!!" I'm kicking myself for not going back for more on my way home, but I cannot wait to visit again and SOON. This spot is truly one of a kind and I'll be thinking about these pies until I get back over there to try more of the options they have. I will be recommending this spot to any person I get the chance to tell! Yum yum yum!
