    We got an order to go to break our fast with. This time we got the lamb shank meal, Afra chicken,…read moremango lemonade, and chicken sambusa. Everything was packed really nicely and the portions are big. The lamb shank was fall off the bone and really well spiced. Everything we got was actually really nice in flavors. I got jollof rice with the meat and it was spicy but not overpowering. The plantains were really good and the salad was fresh. I love everything mango, so the mango lemonade was refreshing. My son enjoyed the chicken sambusa and my husband enjoyed the Afra chicken meal. I gave my son ketchup as a dip for the sambusa because although their sauces are very good, they are much too spicy for him. The Afra spicy sauce was good and my husband said it elevated his chicken meal. They also included crepes with our meal. I was not aware that they come with the meal or if they just gave us these as an extra. The crepes were huge though and delicious. They had the perfect amount of sweetness to them. We were late in picking up our meal, so appreciated the staff for holding it for us. The food was fairly warm even after the delay. We will definitely be back.

    So happy to return to this wonderfully delicious spot in my old "stomping ground" on Morse Rd…read more First checked them out over in Easton, and I've been wanting to return ever since!! So many tempting choices offered, it's tough to decide. The minute you walk in the door, the smell of all the wonderful, tempting options will let you know you're getting the "real deal." You can create your own bowl, choosing the protein (chicken, goat, fish...) and the toppings and sauces to your taste. Speaking of taste, the woman at the counter very helpfully gave me a taste sample of several different options. Both the regular and spicy chicken were super flavorful, and I've tried Somali goat meat before (very flavorful!) but trying to keep it light(er) since I had a plane to catch in a few hours, I got a veg. bowl, with a sampling of both types of rice and (woops!!) and spaghetti add on (carb-o-licious!!). Should have added on the salad, that might have made a bit more sense! Anywhooooooo, my bowl was DELICIOUUS, as was the veg. sambus I added on, and super reasonably priced for the quantity (and deliciousness!!) of food I was served. Come HUNGRY, leave VERY happy and FULL!! Beautiful, cozy dining room, great service, and a WONDERFUL way to support our pan-African neighbors!! Mmmmmmmmmmm!!

    The style of curry here is absolutely incredible: because Zanzibar is a spice island, the sauce is…read morebasically a ton of spices ground together to form an incredibly rich super-savory flavor. I'd never had anything like it before, but I'd happily go again just for that--the goat was cooked perfectly too. The other parts of the meal were pretty good but not as spectacular. Spinach in coconut milk was tasty but not more than the sum of its parts, and ugali was tasty (and rare to find on a restaurant menu!) but I'd probably get chapati (even though that's easier to find) next time.

    This spot has been saved on my collections list for sometime now. I was finally close enough that I…read morewas able to stop by and pick something up for dinner. Not a fan of the area as I used to live near there but it's not bad. I walked in and was immediately greeted. I didn't catch her name (which I feel bad for) but she was super friendly. She was talking to me about some of the menu items while she took my order. While I was waiting on my food we talked a little but about the culture and history of where Swahili food came from and her story. I got my order to go. I got a beef sambusa and the chicken white rice. Wow...the food was delicious! I didn't want to stop eating it. The rice was perfectly fluffy, the flavors of the chicken and kale were delightful. the portion was large enough to make two meals out of it. The sambusa was yummy as well. It was an all over delightful experience and the food is tasty.
