best swordfish I've ever had! this place is great, quirky decor, hand written menus, good wine. Great local restaurant that you should try. I had a swordfish sampler with Lemon and caper, macademia and blackened flavours..hard to pick my favourite! more

What a great little place that should not be missed. Only in Laguna can you find a great little place like this that has such personality and offers such great food. You will not be disappointed in Zoolu. Casual and fun!!! more

We recently ate here with our two kids on vacation on recommendation from a local as well as TripAdvisor. Make a reservation or you will be fairly rudely dismissed as we were on our first attempt. However, when we returned for dinner, it was worth it. I agree with the comments of rudeness by the hostess. I have thick skin... more

From the outside it looks like an old house that needs a paint job, but this Zulu Cafe is probably one of the best places you will ever eat at in your life. The Swordfish is amazing. We took our entire family there and the dishes were all super good. they even had meatloaf and (i didnt eat that, i... more

i loved this place. it is what it is. good people putting out top quality at a price that IS NOT TO HIGH, considering the portion size and and cost and quality of the ingredients. the cost of the ingredients must be at least 1/2 to 2/3 of the meal and super fresh. IT IS VERY APPARENT they are folks... more
