Amazing restaurant run by Priscilla a woman with Uganadan and Tanzanian roots. Try the whole fish and the chapati. I also loved the tamarind juice.
The food was super authentic and reminded me of my time in Kenya. Staff was super nice and music was great 😊
Will be back!

Took my Tanzanian exchange student there for a taste of home. Walked into a cozy place where the owner welcomed us and talked to my student and other customers as if they were good friends. We had the fried fish and curry dishes. Everything was so delicious--we enjoyed every bite. Especially the cabbage! Overall one of the best places I have eaten, perfectly authentic, with a wonderfully friendly atmosphere.
