Kilimanjaro Flavour is a food-truck business that serves Tanzanian foods. I first heard about this food truck about one year ago, and since then, I hoped that the owner would park at a location near me soon. Today was the day that she parked near me! I decided to order dinner. Her menu listed foods such as meat samosas, sweet plantains, chickpea dumplings, zanzibar coconut shrimp, wakanda braised beef, and zanzibar coconut chicken. Chicken on a stick was not available because she would need to make and sell it in large amounts. I ordered four servings of foods, and after several minutes, the owner gave them to me. I rate the meat samosas as 5 stars, and I am happy that the owner convinced me to order two servings. I rate the sweet plantains as 5 stars, and I want to point out that the serving size is enough for multiple people. I rate the wakanda braised beef with vegetables and rice as 4 stars. It tasted good but could use a bit more flavor. My husband had no interest in ordering any foods, but I really enjoyed eating my foods. I might never travel to Tanzania, so I am happy that my tastebuds got to go. :) read more

Kilimanjaro Flavour - PNC Park - Food Trucks Near Me

I do not know much about the owner/operator of this food truck, but I do know she is passionate about her food, and the customers she serves. Fortunately, Kilamanjaro Flavour was set up at the Bellvue Farmers Market so I had the opportunity to give it a try. Food preparation took longer than the normal food truck service, lbut it was due to the care given to each customer. Basically made-to-order meals , decent portions that are very fresh, appealing and tasteful. Her menu today offered either shrimp, chicken, beef , or vegetable as an entree. Rice and vegetables come with the meal. Not sure if this is her standard menu but I do plan to follow her at some other stops to find out. read more

I stopped by here a couple of Thursdays ago with my wife for dinner. We have food trucks that come to our neighborhood and on this particular day it happened to be Kilimanjaro Flavor. Since it is a food truck there isn't much to say about it other than it was being worked by a singe lady on this day. This actually caused some issue as her methodology for working was to take everyone's order that was in line and then work through those before taking the next order. That meant during our batch that she took 11 orders and the person who arrived just after she was done had to wait longer than 45 minutes just to place her order. For dinner on this day my wife and I both decided to go with the coconut chicken and then we also decided to split an order of the samosas. It took about an hour from us arriving and about 45 minutes after ordering for us to receive our food. Once we did, we headed back to our house to eat it. The first thing that I tried was the samosa and it ended up being pretty good. The exterior was crispy while the interior was warm and flavorful and it paired nicely with the dipping sauce that came with it. After I had finished my samosa I started into my entree which ended up being really good. The chicken was tender and juicy and I really appreciated the coconut sauce that was on it. That sauce also helped to flavor the bed of rice that it was on. Finally the vegetables were a nice addition and while they weren't too flavorful on their own, I appreciated them being there and also ended up dipping them into the sauce. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While I wasn't a fan of the ordering system, the food itself was good and justifies a visit to this food truck. read more

Really great! Didn't know what to expect from Tanzanian food but we were all impressed. My husband got the beef and said it tasted like nothing he had eaten before but it was good. I had the chicken which reminded me a lot of Thai curry but thicker? Very yummy for sure. Would seek out this truck again! read more

I stopped by the food truck while they were at stick city brewery. I enjoy the different options they have. Kilimanjaro Flavour was looked to be a good change of pace. I ordered the coconut shrimp and samosa. The sauce was like a curry but instead of the curry flavor it was very coconutty. It came with rice and vegetables which made a nice meal. The samosa was good as well, but aren't all deep fried things. read more

Kilimanjaro Flavour - Coconut shrimp - Food Trucks Near Me

So glad I ran into Kilimajaro Flavour, have been waiting for the opportunity to try the food since I read about KF in the paper late last year. Interesting menu and food that includes handmade samosas, Tanzanian flatbread. My delicious coconut shrimp came with a large portion of rice and some grilled veggies. The samosa was tasty and almost a meal in itself. read more

Absolutely outstanding food! This food truck was parked outside of Highmark Stadium for the Pittsburgh Jazz Fest last night, which was a blessing. We had the ultra-tender and flavorful chicken with coconut rice and crispy fried green plantains with the most amazing sauce. Oh, and phenomenal samosas! Every aspect of this food--the quality, flavor and presentation--was on point. My husband and I woke up at 5:00am talking about this food and wondering where they will be next. read more

I was able to check out Kilimanjaro Flavor while visiting Pittsburgh in October 2020. The mobile restaurant was parked outside of Hitchhiker Brewing in Sharpsburg and was keeping extremely busy with orders from brewery customers. It took some time for the chef to be able to take new orders, and I can attest that the food was definitely worth the wait! The Zanzibar Sauteed Coconut Chicken was creamy, slightly sweet, and rich in spice. Despite being very busy, the chef was warm and gracious to her customers. This is definitely a mobile restaurant to seek out for delicious, comforting African cuisine! read more

Great food with a unique flavor. We tried the shrimp and chicken and both were absolutely great. The only knock on this truck is that they need to work on their delivery system. The food was good enough that the long wait was worth it, but if you were really hungry you would be in trouble. I would recommend this food any time even with the wait. read more

"Vitafunio vitamu" (that's Swahili for "delicious small bites"): Samosas with dipping sauce were tasty. Although the plantains (prepared similarly to "tostones" in South America) are not something I've ever seen over 35 years traveling in East Africa, they were delicious nonetheless. read more

We had this food truck in our neighborhood tonight and it was a big hit! Everyone was happy with their food. I had a coconut shrimp and it was really yummy. The sauce was very good. I also heard lots of praise for the samosas so I wish I had tried those! I got a side of rice and veggies added on and it came with a delicious sauce on the side. Definitely recommend!! read more

I would give this about 3 1/2 stars. Not too bad and not too great. I have never had this type of flavoring so it may just be my personal liking. I did enjoy the service and the friendly staff. I got the beef and the flavoring was unique, but enjoyable. Wish it had some more veggies on the side. Rice under the beef needed cooked better and maybe some seasoning. Also wish they had some type of homemade hot sauce, for me it lacked in that field. Wish I had something to put on top of it to give it a kick, but that might not be the way of this type of food. Overall average. read more

This food truck came to my apartment complex today and I just really wanted to share a rating. These samosas are some of the best I've had in a very very long time. I had the braised beef and my fiancé got coconut shrimp and we were both very happy w/ the entrees. I literally went back to the food truck to get more samosas for the week. read more

This food truck is world class. Some mention a wait; however, the small wait is because Grace and her team are curating your meal to order and for that, you are in for a true treat. Samosa, coconut shrimp, try it all. It is dynamic, well prepared, fresh, flavorful, savory - just for you. The attention to detail and quality is front and center. If you are hungry and want fed right now, be patient and when you get your order, let the magic of this food fill your soul with the appreciation of these East African delicacies. Western PA has been blessed! read more

Best food truck food I've ever eaten. Had it outside of Cobblehaus in Coraopolis. I had the coconut shrimp which had a lot of similarities to a thai coconut curry. It was served with rice and sauteed vegetables which were crisp yet tender. The flavor of the sauce was slightly sweet with a hint of aromatic spice. The shrimp was perfectly sauteed tender and flavorful. Portion size was generous as well to the point that I at my fill and will have another same size portion for tomorrow. At $13 for the dish it was more than well worth it. I will seek out this truck in the future most definitely. read more
