Nice food friendly people good taste
Hidden gem! Great food it is home made daily. Very good flavor. Portions generous. Excellent price.
Love African food this is best place
So I move clear across the country and what do I find basically walking distance from my new home but a Kenyan place! I haven't had Kenyan food in literally years and now I've found a favorite!
First up, samosas, basically a large, stuffed "pastry" fried and filled with tasty things. If you've ever had Indian food, you can get similar things there. I'm fairly certain there's a vegetarian option, but we had the meat ones; I could easily just eat a whole meal just of those. Delicious!
Then there's chapati (I didn't even know you could get decent chapati in the States!) whish for the uninitiated, is basically like a combination of a flat bread and a tortilla with this smoky sort of flavor that pairs well with everything.
Now because it's a small space, they have a limited, rotating menu that changes daily. Today (Saturday) was this savoury beef stew with potatoes, peas, and a few other mixed vegetables that you could get with either (coconut) rice or chapati. (One guess which I picked. ;-p )
And then on recommendation by the housemates, I got a mango smoothie that basically tasted like mango lassi (a yogurt blended beverage) which you can get at most Indian restaurants and was delicious, which is strange because I don't even like mango, but whatever.
Clearly, this is a new favorite and I will be going back, a lot, in the near future!
