Great hole-in-the-wall place for authentic Kenyan cuisine. The food was delicious and the people couldn't have been more friendly. No frills decor, but the food is worth the trip

They made us wait for one hour
Very nice ladies that cook and serve you. I like the ginger drink they have cold. We are having goat curry stew and beef curry stew with fufu and rice with collard greens. Be prepared to wait for your meal. Lots a people order food to go from here.The goat is to die for and the meat pies are heavenly

We had the goat curry with basmati rice and kachumbari. The food played together very well. The rice was a beautiful gold. The goat came in a bowl and was of a soup texture and smelled wonderfully of spices. The salad also came in a bowl and tasted very fresh and crisp and spicy. Also on the side was some orange stuff that was very spicy, but since it was on the side, We could decide how much of the spicy dip to use. I used a lot until my face got sweaty. Would highly recommend and will definitely come back the next time we are in town.

Love this place. I was craving some Kenyan food and this place hit the spot. I dined in on a slow night with only 2 people working. The service was SUPERB! Our waitress was polite and made genuine conversation without hovering over us. The food was amazing, almost like home. My husband who is American said it was the best fish dish he ever had ( he ordered deep fried samaki). The only critique I have is that it took quite a bit of time to get the food. But given that it was a slow night with only 2 people working ( the chef and the waitress), I understood. The food was worth the wait.
I will be back again!

Best food all the time

I love this place because of the food. Authentic East African cuisine with a rustic atmosphere, that is reminiscent of a laid back setting. The personnel is kind and respectful and listens. You might have to wait a bit for your food, and the best way is to make a call and order 30 mins while planning the trip. It is not a Michelin restaurant but it is sure just a genuine local, “ungentrified” spot. It is surrounded by gentrified neighborhood and hopefully this spot won’t be pushed out of business.
Wonderful place to eat Kenyan food.
I love coming eating here. It’s the best restaurant ever.
First time trying this and it taste good! The cabbage had a sweet butter smell and it’s great with fufu. Goat was also soft and juicy.
Service was super slow tho, we waited for 25 minutes to get our plates. The utensils were not clean but they changed it for us.
It was amazing, we ate Stewed Kuku. The ingredients were fresh and the condiments were absurdly delicious. We loved it
