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.
