We have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, so we're disappointed that it was closed(maybe for good or maybe just remodeling) no sign explaining why they were closed, but no tables inside, floor trim ripped out. Hopefully they are just remodeling

My friend recommended we try this out to get a taste of some real Kenyan food. We were amazed at how well seasoned the food is. We got a mix of everything, but I truly enjoyed my tilapia.

Great experience! Waitress was so kind and made delicious recommendations. I had the lamb stir fry with pilau rice and kachumbari salad and it was all phenomenal. Lamb was tender and not gamey, the rice was so fragrant and perfectly cooked, and the salad might have been my favorite- bright and refreshing, a great contrast to the main dish.

I had the Nairobi platter, and it was perfection--we will definitely be back! My husband loved the oxtail pepper soup.

Third time here, felt compelled to leave a review. All three times I loved what I ordered. This time I got the lamb stew and it was awesome! Food takes a little longer to come out which is normal when you actually have to cook it and it's not just frozen. Will definitely keep coming.

The ONLY reason this place get s 5 stars is we are unable to give them 10!!! My Beloved and I were treated to this AMAZING place after ministering a revival in Lenexa - they were going to close, but stayed open for us - we were NEVER rushed, and the owner came to our table to thank us for coming to her restaurant, and the young Indian lady who was our server was SO very kind, and we told her boss as wellAs for the food? In a word - AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!In short - HIGHLY recommended for a delicious meal with people who are genuine!!

(Plant-based reviewer) Absolutely LOVED this place!! They have tons of plant based and vegetarian options! I had the Nairobi platter (pictured) which came with lentil stew, pilau rice, sauteed kale, sauteed cabbage, kachumbari salad, and fried plantains. My carnivorous friends enjoyed the peanut butter chicken and the chicken skewers that come with your choice of rice and veggie side. Excellent service. Highly recommend this place!!

First, the service was attentive and friendly. Doreen took the patience to describe the different dishes; and the front waitress was kind ensuring we were comfortable and served.The beef samosas, chipati, lamb, chicken, and masala fries were outstanding! The salad was absolutely delicious.Thank you for your warm welcome and wonderful experience!
