The Big 5 African Cuisine offers flavorful, authentic African dishes with friendly and welcoming service. Customers enjoy the delicious fufu and chicken stew, as well as Saturday chicken special. The menu features traditional Kenyan cuisine that is made fresh daily, with a focus on quality and authenticity. The small, clean restaurant provides a cozy atmosphere, and the staff are helpful and kind. Visitors often dip the fufu in the beef stew and enjoy the refreshing papaya juice, which offers a light alternative to typical sodas. The restaurant occasionally surprises guests with free treats like spicy, flavorful samosas. The food is well-seasoned and slow-cooked, making it perfect for stew lovers. While the prices are higher than some might expect for the portion sizes, the authentic food makes it worthwhile. Customers praise the owners' knowledge of their cuisine and the home-cooked style of food. Overall, The Big 5 is a highly recommended spot in Lancaster for those seeking genuine African cuisine, especially for dishes like goat stew and curry chicken with rice and chapati. Parking can be limited, so walking or driving around the block may be necessary.
