I visited for the first time today with colleagues and we each really enjoyed our meal. Myself and I person ordered the Chicken Suqar (i ordered mine with Chipati and they ordered with rice) one person ordered the Veggie platter, and another ordered the lamb shanks. The food was good and the portion was huge!! This is a meal that you eat at lunch and dinner. We also ordered. Vinto which is similar to cream soda. The service was good and fast. I wish there was more information regarding what each dish was

Very very good food that any person should be able to appreciate. I got the lamb shank which was tender and delicious and some beef stew type dish with spinach because I wanted to try out the ugali which was also delicious. I'd eaten fufu with my Congolese coworkers a long time ago so the ugali brought back fond memories.

The food is authentic, delicious and memorable. The tables are always clean. I usually stick with one dish in most restaurants I go to but I've tried over 5 dishes here and i've enjoyed them all. They also have foods from different countries. The last time I was there I had an Ethiopian dish. Don't forget to try the famous tea. Overall i had a good experience.

Best homemade food that you can get from a restaurant hands down. The employees are so nice and very polite. My sister and all her friends went crazy over the food and my husband loved it too. I love love the samosas they were amazing.
