Golden Safari offers a cool and refreshing vibe with delicious African cuisine. The interiors are adorned with beautiful artwork, and the staff is friendly, though some find the service lacking warmth. The Hibiscus tea is a must-try, perfect for a warm day. The Ethiopian and Somalian dishes are flavorful, with the Tomato stew with goat and fufu being a standout, though the fufu can sometimes be sticky. The crispy plantains and Suup! soursop soda are also highly recommended. Despite some minor issues with service, the food quality makes up for it—dishes like the egusi soup are very good. The portions may seem small for the price, but they are surprisingly filling, similar to Indian cuisine. The vegetarian Egusi spicy is a tasty option for those looking for a meatless meal. The ambiance is lively, with African decor and music playing, though it can get loud at times. Overall, Golden Safari is a hidden gem for African food lovers, offering a delicious and authentic dining experience near the courthouse.
