The Saddest Restaurant Closures to Know in San Diego, September 2025 | Eater San Diego

"Temporarily closed for remodeling and a menu revamp, this first brick-and-mortar for the farmers’ market favorite had been serving earthy peanut stews and fiery piri-piri chicken; the owner says, "We need to remodel and simplify the menu so we give the community what they want to eat," and is focusing on hot chicken sandwiches and grilled piri piri chicken while continuing to serve Mozambique dishes like chicken peanut curry and broccoli sweet potato curry at local markets, with plans to reopen in early November." - Helen I. Hwang

The best spicy chicken sandwich I have ever tasted! The flavor is so bomb. I devoured mine so quickly. The samosas are also so good. Definitely will be back and I highly recommend for all chicken sandwich lovers.

Sabor Piri-Piri was some of the best unique ethnic food (Mozambique/African) food I've had! We first had them by ordering online and having them delivered. We got their sweet potato and also their chicken peanut curry. We really liked the food, so we then went physically to check out more menu items. We ended up having the red chicken curry made with their (slightly spicy) Piri-Piri sauce! And omg that was amazing! Apparently Piri-Piri is a spicy pepper from Africa, so it had a unique flavor I never had in San Diego. Their kale and black eyed peas was made with the same sauce so it gave it that nice slightly sweet and spicy flavor. I honestly didn't have high hopes but it ended up being one of my favorite items! The staff was welcoming and really nice. They answered my questions as I was unsure and new to Mozambique curry. The shop is really small but has decent seating inside as well as a nice spot outside to eat. There's Tahona next door (great to grab to go margaritas), so it's nice to grab a few different items with friends and enjoy the spread outside with a Marg! There's still more on the menu we haven't tried, so we want to go again!

I really like Sabor Piri Piri from eating it at the farmers market. The restaurant didn’t disappoint. We are outside. I didn’t take a picture of my food from the beginning but I made up by taking pics of the menu. The chicken samosas are delicious!

Sabor Piri Piri is the place to go for some delicious food! We had Eva cater samosas for our staff and those Samosas flew off the tray. The sweet and spicy sauce was amazing, everyone kept raving about it! The sauce paired perfectly with the chicken and vegan samosas. We loved hearing all about how she learned to make samosas. She was so sweet and knowledgeable about her craft. Can’t wait to try more of her delicious food!

Flavorful food that feels homey, the service is extremely personable and the owner is so kind. 10/10 wish we could come back. Great options for vegans and non-vegans.

I love this place. All the food is awesome. I especially love the samosas, peanut curry and the piri piri chicken. Also great vegetarian options. Authentic Mozambique cooking. I've been a long time customer at their farmers market booths and could not be happier to see them grow into a storefront. Great addition to National City. Take home some of their hot sauce 💯.

HIGHLY recommend! Not only are the owners incredibly welcoming and on point, but the food itself is top notch “imma keep eating even though I full” quality, both their vegetarian and meat centered dishes. And the story behind the menu is beautiful too. If you like great food with good vibes, don’t miss out on this gem next time you’re in or near National City area!

This was the first place that introduced me to collard greens and black eyed peas and didn't disappoint. I haven't had a dish I didn't enjoy yet!

Wish I would have taken a picture of my food, but forgot as I did take out (always forget when doing take out). Was lucky enough to make in before they closed. Ordered the chicken peanut curry bowl as it is dairy free. It was delish! Some kick to it (not too bad) and a good blend of all the flavors. First glance at portion size I thought I wasn't going to get full as I was super hungry turns out that it was a good portion size. At the time of visiting they were still working out the location hours. Hoping to visit again to try their red chicken curry and some samosas.

I've been a following them for a while at markets and they recently opened up a small brick-and-motar in National City. I have to say that the food is AMAZING! My favorite is the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and the Chicken Peanut Curry. They have vegan options too, which is pretty cool. Everyone there is super friendly. Definitely check them out!

This review is for their location at the little Italy farmers market. Have been here twice on two separate trips to San Diego. Breakfast samosas are delicious and ask for the hot sauce! We also had the curries with rice, great portions, everything is so good and we even bought two bottle of the hot sauce to bring home. The owner is so sweet and we love visiting her stand when we go to the farmers market.

I stumbled onto Sabor Piri Piri at the North Park farmers market and decided to get dinner there because I love curry. I ordered their peanut chicken curry and it was AMAZING! It's intensely savory and flavorful and the chicken is so tender it just falls apart. The woman working there was so friendly and smiley and seemed like she was genuinely enjoying herself. She loaded up the to-go container with so much food I had enough for a large dinner AND a large lunch the next day, she also gave me a little container of Piri Piri sauce on the side after I told her I like spicy. I can't wait to get that peanut curry again!

My fiancé brought this home to me from the NP farmers market! I ate it cold and it was still fantastic! I wish I would've got to meet whoever was making this amazing food, but if you read this, just know you made a very hungry guy very very happy. If you like curry, if you like spice, if you like flavor, go eat all of the Nomz! I'll for certain be back! Stop reading, go eat there!
