I've been a fan of Rafiki's for a long time, and I'm so excited to see them move into their new location! The new space is bigger, brighter, and even more welcoming while still keeping the same amazing atmosphere.

The food is consistently authentic, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Every meal reminds me of home, and the portions are generous. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and make you feel like family from the moment you walk in.

It's...

The food was soooo good. The chapatis were soft and hot, the samosas were spiced perfectly. I cant understand how they make the meat so tender. The food was excellent. From what I am told its just like a good bar in Kampala or Nairobi. The DJ was on fire. The drinks were nice. I had a great time.

Incredible staff, great food, very accommodating, excellent atmosphere… Get in there and check it out ! As an American, that doesn’t know a lot about Kenyan food, They were really informative when I was selecting items on the menu… looking forward to your new location
