Kenyan food to make the heart and soul happy! The menu had a variety of vegetarian options and they were delicious. The mandazi was very authentic and fresh. Chai tea made it a must order every time! The sukumawki and red bean dish (not sure of the actual name) had great flavour and reminded us of childhood days in Kenya. The chapati was epic! There were lots of fresh juice options, Somalia dishes and meat dishes. The table and booth were clean and the restaurant was filled with laughter and children. Absolutely loved our time there and highly recommend.

By far the worst Sabaayad I've ever had, 5 dollars for one piece and it has no flavor. Also the malawax is 4 dollars for one piece and its not even sweet. Please take these 2 items off your menu.

We were in town for the American Public Health conference. We searched and found this place. We arrived the first night. We ordered goat meat, rice and chapati. The food is to die for. The Chapati was so so good. We ordered Samosa to go...wheewww. it was great. It was an authentic East African taste. We just had to go back. So we told others about it, and on a Tuesday afternoon at 4pm, we packed our bags, 10 of us, and headed there. Again, the chapati is off the chain. Unmatched. We had a range of food. Now let me move to customer service since I feel I have spent so much time talking about the food. Again the food was great. Excellent customer service. They were patient, took our orders, and even with all our various questions, and requests for customization, they patiently catered to us. We had such a wonderful time. I think this place is a must visit for everyone. I feel like I am rambling but the goat meat...well spiced, tasty, fresh, well made. Okay. I will end here but I totally recommend ?.
