Rafiki Restaurant and Lounge is a welcoming spot that offers delicious Kenyan cuisine and attentive service. The restaurant features a lounge area with a pool table, TVs, and music, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Some standout dishes include the Goat Stew with corn meal and kale, as well as the Goat Stew with Pilau and chapati. Recent reviews mention the delicious dry fish, greens, fish gravy, and a new potato/hominy side that are filling and flavorful. The goat soup is creamy and packed with marrow, perfect for warming up on a cold day. The staff, including Flavian, provide warm welcomes, exemplary service, and helpful menu suggestions. Many customers note that the food is light yet flavorful, and the service is excellent. The establishment is partly a restaurant and partly a bar, with a separate dining area to the left of the entrance. The owner’s passion is evident, and the space feels like a home away from home—clean, neat, and cozy. It’s highly recommended for those looking to enjoy authentic Kenyan food in a chill environment where every meal is a hit.
