Delicious food, friendly service, cute atmosphere inside. It was a little pricey, but definitely very good. The chicken curry was flavorful, and the cabbage salad was outstanding! And they gave us a complimentary samosa, which was nice. Great place and we'd go back.

Just one Samosa and some chicken stew for $22 after delivery fee and Tip is ridiculous and then when I called and asked why there is no rice to come with it. They said no everything is individual. I had eaten here in person before and had never had a problem but now I don’t know what’s going on with their pricing. This is crazy

DELICIOUS, flavorful, home cooked-style food. If you are a stew lover then you need to come here! You can tell the food has been well seasoned and slow cooked. I’ve been struggling to find good takeout in Lancaster but this has quickly made its way to the top. Highly recommend the beef stew or chicken curry!

Absolutely incredible experience! If you're looking for authentic Kenyan food, there is no other place in the city you should look. Their menu is constantly changing, so you know the food is fresh. And the owners are absolutely wonderful and welcoming. Great atmosphere, super reasonable prices. The Big 5 will be making its way into our regular rotation for sure!

Owner (Kenyan), extremely kind. Went with my Kenyan (Native) buddy, he gave the place 10/10. I enjoyed the curry chicken w/ rice & chapati the most. Food will vary in selection! Small place but quality food and good culture.

Parking: Parking is a hit-or-miss! Be open to drive around the block a few times or walk 1-5 min to get there.

I have never had African food before I had actually you seen it on tiktok but I honestly can say Im happy I tried it. The pork stew and cabbage was so delicious!! Flavors that I have never tasted before! I absolutely loved it. The two workers were also amazing. They told me how much to heat it up for because I was taking it with me and even gave me a samosa which was absolutely delicious!! I'll definitely be going back!
