African Restaurants near Kent, WA

“I have missed Somali food since I moved from Seattle. This place has wonderful tasting food. The sambusa is on point. Wonderful flavor a little kick to it but not too much.
The gentleman taking the orders is very friendly and personable.
We tried this spot about 2 months ago
and have been there about 5 times now.
WONDERFUL.

It is too bad this restaurant is no longer there. Really need to update post.“

“Food was great. I’m not a big fan of eating chicken due to how it smells typically but the way they seasoned/charred their chicken in the cajun pasta was great. Their strawberry Tres Leches cake is addicting. Make sure you get the Mandazi (fresh made) with the Somali tea, good combo.“

“Love this place“

“I’ve ordered from this Nigerian restaurant twice—once online and once in person for takeout—and both experiences were excellent. The online order was smooth, and the food arrived hot and well-packaged. When I picked up in person, the service was friendly and efficient. The dishes were flavorful and authentic every time. Highly recommend!!!!! I LOVE YOUR SUYA & PLANTAIN FUFU!!!“

“Excellent Food…a nice cultural experience.!!“

“man this food was off the chart I am very excited to have tried African cuisine being an African-American“

“The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The staff were kind, and the place was clean and welcoming highly recommended!“

“Delicious today was my first day visiting. We had everything on the menu but the fish entrées. Fresh amazing atmosphere sweet teenage boy who took our order and the owner his mom was outstanding. This is a place you have to come and eat!“

“Absolutely delicious food that made me feel amazing after eating. The green sauce was very spicy and blended well with my dish. aaand they gave me a banana... what an interesringly odd yet nice touch.

The price / portions were also spot on in my opinion. I ordered the chicken Kati. Thank goodness they actually had the bitter bread. The portions are on the larger side. I had enough for a second meal later in the day. Yes, it was so good I couldn't wait to eat the rest. Usually I save left overs for the next day.

Since I got this food to go, I'll keep my review rating to just rate the food. The parking is pretty bad with only about 8 parking spots, but at least they have do have dedicated parking. I showed up at 9 am and the parking lot only had one space left just for me. There was already several people inside eating. Even more came and went while I waited.

The interior needs a full make over in my opnion, but it's all fairly functional. Also their drinking water situation was confusing as they didn't even off me water with my meal. Maybe that was my fault. I originally asked for my food to go but mentioned that I was so hungry I was gonna eat some as soon as they handed it to me. So they decided to give it to me on a dine in plate.

Don't come for a fancy date night or even to impress anyone. Unless you explain the interior design situation ahead of time.... it's like eating at an old uncle or grandparents house.

Their service is fairly average, but the employees are a super chill vibe. A lot of customers had very lengthy conversations with the teller regardless if they were ordering, just hanging out, or already done eating.

Honestly I've been thinking about going back all week. Next time I'm in the area, stopping in for a plate will be a must.

Parking: Parking it front. Limited amount of space, but I got a spot just fine

Wheelchair accessibility: It's only one story, but they have stairs to get in“

“Tranquility at its best........The best place for African/Kenyan cuisine including the unbelievable 👏
The servers Freddy, Marto, Lucia and Jimmy are the best at what they do with passion
LIMS LOUNGE RESTAURANT anyday anytime“

“I came to this mall today all the way from Vancouver, Canada because we have nothing like this over there.

I’m glad I did because I had the best shopping experience here. Store 122 was where I went and Mashallah the owner was so helpful and kind. I was able to find everything I was looking for and the prices were amazing. May Allah swt continue to put barakah into her business. I’m so obsessed with the abaya and the hijabs for my baby that I got from her.“

“thanks for the experience, was fantastic. Wonderful food and the waitress was a star super nice. She writes form me the food we ordered for our next visit.“

“The food is so good and the customer service is amazing. 10/10“

“This place is a gem among basic airport options. We had two orders of the signature beef patties and both order were incredible, so flavorful and cooked to perfection! We also had the chowder which is too notch. Add locally sourced beers, spirits and ingredients along with phenomenal service from Rocio and this was one of the most memorable airport meals we've ever had.“
