Safari Njema is an awesome spot in Columbia City that produced the most memorable meal that I've had in recent memory. The restaurant is a short walk from the lightrail station, tucked into a small row of restaurants just off the main drag. What I'd recommend you do is to either come at a very off-peak hour, or call ahead and place your order when you're on your way in. This is very much one woman's passion project, and so there is pretty much one woman cooking in the kitchen at any given time, even when it is busy. So, if you just roll up at peak dining hours, you will end up waiting quite a while for your food. It just is what it is. I don't have much patience for waiting, and I am supremely prone to hanger, so why then do I still really like this place? Because all that passion and love that she puts into her cooking -- you can taste it. It's been weeks since my visit and I am still daydreaming about the meal I had there -- a whole fried fish which was reduced to a pile of sucked-clean bones by the time I finished with it, the silkiest collards I've ever had, and the mountain of savory rice, all sprinkled with the tangy, mouth-watering house made hot sauce. I don't know what she seasons that fish with but I licked it off my fingers shamelessly. I visited with a friend who is a regular there, and so I got to visit the kitchen and chat with the owner after our meal. You can tell how much she cares about using food to bring people happiness and show people how good Kenyan food is. read more

One of my favorite meals of the year! My partner and I wanted to try something we haven't before and we were lucky enough to be in south Seattle where we don't get to visit often. We decided on trying Kenyan food which we had never tried before. We were really glad we made this stop! Before getting there we were really set on the Samaki and we decided on getting it wet fried when we realized that was an option. The service was incredibly kind and we could tell that each dish was made to order with care. The samaki came with two sides and it was completely shareable which made it very affordable too. We were really happy we got the wet fry option because The curry that it came with was amazing. We were so happy with all the rich and colorful flavors. The restaurant itself is pretty small but offers a good number a seats. We will happily be back soon. read more

Safari Njema Restaurant - The amazing samaki - African Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Here's a polished version that keeps the emotion and details while staying clear and credible: We chose this restaurant for our first date night since having our baby, so we were especially excited after reading all the positive reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was incredibly disappointing. We arrived at 8:00 p.m. and didn't receive our food until after 10:00 p.m. Keep in mind the restaurant closes at 9:00 p.m., so we even watched them lock the doors while we were still waiting. There was only one other table of four people dining, and it appeared they had also been waiting a long time for their food. When we finally realized we needed to get home to relieve our babysitter, we asked our server to pack our meals to go. Instead of apologizing for the two-hour wait, he told us we "should have come earlier." We reminded him that we had arrived two hours before and had no reason to expect such a long delay. He showed no empathy or accountability. We still tried to stay positive, hoping the food would at least live up to the hype. Unfortunately, when we got home, we found the dishes to be overwhelmingly salty. We understand that delays can happen, but poor communication and a complete lack of customer service turned what should have been a special evening into a frustrating experience. We left feeling disappointed and unlikely to return. read more

Spontaneous dinner here while heading to Full Tilt next door and decided to try something new since we've never had Kenyan food before. Really glad we did! It was pretty busy and the food did take a while to come out, but everything tasted super fresh and it was definitely worth the wait. The portions are large and the flavors were incredible. What really stood out was the service. Samantha was amazing! She was so friendly, funny, and welcoming even though the restaurant was packed and there was a line. She took the time to walk us through the menu since it was our first time there, let alone trying Kenyan food. Even with how busy it was, she made sure each customer was taken care of and exuded such positivity. You can tell she really cares about her customers. Great food, even better service. Would definitely come back. read more

Super friendly service and delicious food. I went for the first time during the Plate of Nations and so glad I tried it. The food was really delicious, best collard greens--they tasted fresh and bright, not too much vinegar like most places. The rice was so good I even took home the leftovers and they were great the next day. Beef samosa was piping hot, freshly fried when we got it read more

Went here for an anniversary dinner on a whim. Loved the decorations and the convo from the owner. We got the fish plate and chai, which were both great for sharing. Low pressure spot with big portions and unexpected delights. More people should know about this place. Will be back! read more

The food here is delicious, we have been several times and tried many different dishes. We also keep a bottle of their hot sauce in our fridge, it is the best we have found. But the service is slow and often unpleasant. Expect to wait an extremely long time for food and if you order online, it won't be ready on time. After waiting 45 minutes to pick up last time, we arrived to be told they did not have everything we ordered, had not started making our order yet, that we were behind another order, and when we requested to cancel the order and receive a refund, the chef (and owner) told us she would not refund - that we ordered online and it was not her problem. After attempting to request a refund online (which is not possible), we called back for a refund and someone else took care of it and apologized for what happened. Not sure the service and disrespect is worth the delicious food. read more

My daughter has always wanted to try Fufu (made from cassava). My daughter loved her mango juice. The kind lady who sat us and took our order walked us through the menu and suggested we each order a different meat (instead of two fish plates) and made everything family style to share. We ordered the fried fish, chicken, fufu, okra, and collard greens. There was a consistent flow of takeout orders, and dining in was relaxed and something you want to have time for. When she Sat the platter (yes, a full-blown platter heaped with food) on the table, her pride in serving and sharing her food was undeniable. It was lovely. The chicken: delicious. Distinct flavor of buttery, caramelized onions - complex yet simple flavor. The fish: the star of the show. We fought over every last morsel. The fish was tender, succulent with an amazing crispy skin. You have to eat around the bones and so promise you it's worth it. Wonderfully seasoned and spiced, with a distinct lemon note. The okra: I've never liked okra before in my life. Until now. The fufu: Lovely accompaniment to all the spices and flavors in the other dishes. The greens: not as heavy as traditional, southern stewed greens, no overpowering pork flavor; these were delicious and paired so well with the meats, fufu, everything. The next time we are in Seattle, we will be back. read more

Can't believe it's taken me this long to get here! Been wanting to come for a couple years but finally came in and I will definitely be coming back after this first visit. Food is made from scratch by one woman who takes the orders and cooks at the same time so don't expect anything to be fast, just enjoy the ambiance and flavors. Highly recommend the cold ginger drink as it packs a punch! Asked for the wet fry tilapia not knowing what it meant and and I'm so glad I did! I think dry fry would be without the delicious tomato sauce they put on top of the fish which really made the dish for me. The owner/chef is extremely welcoming and kind and you can tell she puts love into this food. Can't wait to come back and try more of the side dishes as they all looked so good. Warning: I came with 3 people and we all got our own entrees and shared. My fish alone was enough for two more meals after so come hungry or order a bit less! read more

Food is amazing amazing amazing. I always end up getting the fried fish. It comes with two sides that you can choose from, my favorites are the pilau and collard greens. Ugali is fun for a different texture but is pretty flavorless. The goat curry is also a top pick for me! Beware if you're dining in... THE WAIT IS FOREVER! They're always so understaffed, unfortunately. I wish they had more resources. It's such a shame that the food is so amazing but folks probably get pretty turned off by the wait. I think the last time I was in, we ordered at 7:05pm and got our food at 8:00pm. Left around 8:45pm. Was just thinking we should get Aunty Jane and the whole restaurant some front of the house folks, or even on one of those restaurant optimizing Gordon Ramsay shows I want everyoneeeee to come eat here, so make sure you come at an off time so that the wait isn't too long. It's not a bad idea to hop next door to either Flying Lion for a beer or Full Tilt for dessert before dinner :P Truly if the food was just meh and service was like this, I would give this 2 stars. But Safari Njema has 4.5 stars for a reason... their food is damn good. read more

Another Columbia City gem. Safari has a decent range of choices, and the chef said she'd make some vegetarian curry for me next time. Delicately seasoned with a decent hot sauce on the side. The collards and spinach (Sukuma) were the highlights. I'm always down for some greens. The mixed veggies were just right. Ugali is a starchy mix not unlike grits or fufu but Kenyan style. Very filling and enough to take home. Not pictured is the cold ginger drink, which is not too sweet and refreshing. The chef is cook and hostess; they do a lot of take out. Friendly and good to chat with which is always a plus. Everything is made fresh, so be prepared and patient. Good things take time :) read more

Food: AMAZING. Bursting with flavors and spices. Service: Depending on the day, can be normal (10 min); can be slow (15+ min) Order the matoke and the goat side. The goat is so tender. The matoke was really good too. Kind of reminded me of yuca. As for what to avoid ordering, I thought the chicken was kind of dry. Sukuma (collard greens and spinach) was a bit too salty. Came here twice for pickup and dine-in read more

This is one of the first times I have actually had Kenyan food, and I enjoyed opening my eyes to a lot of unique dishes offered here. My friend and I were fairly hungry so we got some appetizers - beef samosa, veggie samosa, and bhajia, as well as 2 entrees - samaki with pilau and Sukuma mix, and mbuzi with ugali and tz zege. Appetizers: the beef samosa and veggie samosa were great. I love the fact that a lot of cuisines have their take on these samosas. Here, the samosas themselves were not too spicy or salty, but their house spicy sauce that has some ginger in it amplified these samosas. The bhajia is thinly sliced potatoes, which tasted somewhat like fried potatoes / fries, but they were hearty chunks of potato. Entrees The samaki is tilapia, flash fried. We opted for pilau which is a spiced basmati rice and Sukuma mix which is collard greens and spinach. The mbuzi is goat, where we chose ugali (similar to grits) and tz zege (omelette potato) for our sides. We decided that the goat be prepared in curry, which is an additional charge, but it allows us to try both the dry and wet preparations for the respective dishes. The tilapia is very flavorful and crunchy, and they already pre-squeezed the dish with lemon juice (which can be good or bad depending on if you like lemon with the fish). The rice is well spiced and the Sukuma mix is very fresh and nicely salted. The goat curry is also full of spices, though fortunately not really spicy, and pairs well with the ugali as it did not have too much flavor. The tz zege is a very filling side and is of good value as it is one of the pricier sides but it is complimentary as one of the 2 sides when you order the entree. They prepared it to my liking as the eggs are cooked to medium. Service is somewhat mediocre. It is understandable (and I did not dock a star off for this) that food comes out very slowly, about 30 minutes minimum, as there are just 2 workers operating the entire restaurant. However, I'd have liked if they gave the water (it was free, even though they gave water bottles) shortly instead of much later, and if they gave us utensils and plates sooner than later, as we were waiting minimum 15 minutes for it so that we can fully enjoy the appetizers without making a mess. These small touches of service would have made the dining experience much more enjoyable, but regardless, I am a fan of Kenyan food in this restaurant. read more

I so enjoyed this new eating experience. This is a Kenyan restaurant in the heart of Columbia City in South Seattle. [disclaimer: without the menu, I can't communicate the Kenyan name for the items on my plate. I apologize in advance for any offense] Atmosphere: friendly and kind to a newbie. It's was an unique experience to be in a restaurant that all of the staff was from the African Diaspora. The conversation and the different languages was so special. Food!!!! Excellent...no complaints. The fried fish was amazing!!!! I just was to eat that with the bread. Wait time: we waited 45 mins for our meal. We were Warner in advance that it takes a long time to be served so we were prepared. But 45 mins is a long time. It was worth the wait - the food was so good and the conversation was great! So warning ...you will be waiting for this good meal. I'll definitely go back. read more

This review is quite late but to this day I still think about that fried tilapia in coconut sauce! You HAVE to try it! I grew up not too far from here and let me tell you, Columbia City is no longer the Columbia City of my childhood. I'm happy to see the plethora of businesses thriving in this area, and next time I may spend an extra hour or two solely in this small complex, which also houses a Full Tilt and Flying Lion Brewing. We came early with a visitor from out of state in tow (there were only a couple of orders in front of us) and ordered to-go so we could have a picnic at Seward Park. Everything was well made and seasoned perfectly from the beef samosas to the greens and veggies to the fish. But the star of the show was the fish, which was crispy, fatty, sweet, and slightly acidic thanks to the lime. Every bite was the perfect bite. We descended on it like vultures after the first taste and picked it clean down to the bones. Of every meal we ate during our guest's visit, this was the best. I can't wait to go back since I missed that they also have dessert. Highly recommend! read more

Some of the best food I've ever had in Seattle, a true hidden gem! It was my first time eating Kenyan food and I'm very impressed. The curry is a proud entry in the genre with beautifully tender chunks of goat. It was bone in, which I don't care but is authentic. The fries are big meaty hand cut potato wedges, with a habanero dipping sauce- this is a great restaurant for spice lovers. The kachumbari is a salad that reminded me a little of pico de gallo, it was good but got outshown by the other dishes. The portions are large and easily make two meals for me The woman behind the counter is the SWEETEST. It's the kind of personal service you used to get at Italian restaurants that you rarely see in Seattle or anywhere else these days. I cannot recommend this place enough, go there, they deserve all the success in the world read more

First time trying Kenyan food & I must say I am super satisfied! I ordered 2 of the most popular dishes SAMAKI (tilapia) & MBUZI (goat) which comes with 2 sides. I got the Pilau (basmati rice) & Sukuma Mix (collard greens & spinach) for both proteins. The portions are huge for the price, I literally paid under $40!! I recommend calling in ahead for pick up at a certain time. Food was done on the dot, by the time I brought the food home the fish still retained its crispiness & everything was still warm (Columbia city to Fairwood). Samaki (fried tilapia): CLEAN which is my biggest thing about fried fish. Big, crispy & nicely seasoned with a hint of citrus flavor! Came with 2 sauces 1 was spicy & the other was a coconut. MBUZI (goat): I thought it was super flavorful but I just wish it was a bit more tender! I'm very familiar with goat so the bones doesn't bother me like it does to others. Pilau (basmati rice): DELICIOUS. FLAVORFUL. FLUFFY GOODNESS. Sukuma (collards greens & spinach): MUST GET. Super appetizing & addicting! Perfectly cooked! Service was amazing, the lady is super friendly & welcoming! She explained to me what the sauces were for & made feel even more excited to try their food! If your looking to venture out & try different culture foods I would highly recommend trying this place out. Can't wait to try other dishes, I'll be back! read more

I've always wanted to try food from East Africa, and today, I finally got to do so!! For my drink, I ordered a Kenyan black coffee...And OMG is it strong, but I like my coffee black. It was a huge portion (Trenta size), and I decided to add half the sugar that came with it, so that it was not too acidic. For my appetizer, I ordered Mandazi and fried potatoes...The Mandazi had the right amount of sweetness and the perfect texture of a donut. As for the fried potatoes, they were a little spicy (especially as I saw a multitude of crush pepper seeds in the dish), but its combination of onions and garlic and spices helped to make a great flavor, to blend with the spiciness. For my entree ordered the Stewed Goat with sides of Salad and Ugali...The stewed goat had an amazing combination of what tasted like tomatoes, garam masala, cumin, garlic, onions, and other spices, and the goat was perfectly braised to tender melt in your mouth texture. The salad was awesome, as the oily vinaigrette was a great addition to the lettuce and onion and carrot combination. The Ugali was amazing as well, as the cornmeal was flavorful and was able to act as a starch to soak up saucy foods (e.g., curry) (much better than my attempt to cook Ugali, at home [where I used ground popcorn kernels, instead of white cornmeal]). The only things I would change are: *Service...I was at the restaurant for a little over an hour because it took long periods of time to to receive my drink, my appetizer, and my entree, each...The waitress said that this is because I ordered at the place, as most customers order their food before arrival. Next time I go, I will place the order online, before arrival. *Ambience...Safari Njema is unfortunately right next to a sports bar that blasts its music loud. In fact, it is so loud, that at every bass in music played in the adjacent sports bar, the Safari Njema gets vibrated like an earthquake...Which can be bothersome and painful for those inside the restaurant (Safari Njema), especially when they had the misfortune of sitting at the rightmost wall (like I was), which was basically touching the loud sports bar. I suggest for Safari Njema: *Installing soundproofing technology and/or asking the sports bar to do the same. *Asking the sports bar to turn their music down, and emphasize how Safari Njema get vibrated hard, every time there is a bass in the loud sports bar's music. Anyways, this place was AMAZING. In the name "Safari Njema", the word Njema--Swahili for "good"--labels this restaurant right...Mkahawa ni njema!! Tuonane Tena, Safari Njema. read more

Ashamed to say it's taken me this long to try Kenyan food, but this place is SO DELICIOUS. Hands down the best food in Columbia City and quickly making its way up to my all time favorites. I had to physically stop myself from saying "wow" after every bite. We waited about 40 minutes for our order of Tilapia and Goat curry. Now I'll be honest and say venturing beyond any protein outside of the standard beef, chicken, and pork is me trekking into extreme foreign territory. The unfamiliarity alone would offset a good experience but the goat curry was amazing and cooked to perfection... like actually perfectly. So similar to beef with a subtle gaminess and seasoned with the perfect blend of spices. You HAVE to get this with the Pilau Rice. I could eat three plates of that alone. It is so good. The Tilapia was so good with the curry sauce. Next time I'm trying it fried. The sides dishes really made this meal for me. There is a perfect contrast of flavors. The stir fried veggies add a bit of freshness, collard greens with spinach a bit of savoriness, and the green mashed potatoes with some boiled corn pieces in it. Everything compliments each other so well. I would highly highly recommend read more

This place is an unassuming gem - great homemade-style Kenyan food that is traditionally prepared. We went as a large group of friends so got to sample quite a few of their foods and all were delicious and carefully prepared. I had been craving greens - their collard greens are great. And omg - the crispy pan-fried whole Tilapia?!? Ah-mazing!!! Super crispy and flavorful on the outside and moist and delicious on the inside. We also had their goat curry (nicely prepared and not too gamey), vegetable samosas (spicy and yummy), and the ugali (a thick grits-like porridge that you eat with the other foods.) Then fo drinks I tried both their cold ginger tea (thick, sweetened with brown sugar and super gingery) and the hot chai (nicely spiced with cardamom and ginger; you add your own sugar.) Overall it was a great meal and we'll definitely be going back! read more

It's worth the drive especially if you like fish. My girlfriend had the fish which is one of the most popular dishes they have, she liked it but be ready to deal with bones. I had the beef, which was alright. I found the mix veggies a little too oily for my liking, the mashed peas were interesting. We both loved the cabbage, but the corn bread was too blunt. We also had teas which were good. All in all, it's a good value, good taste and it seems authentic. read more

Jump off main street Rainier and go on Safari, past the uninviting parking lot entrance to stake out one large Trophy dinner plate! Leaving after dusk all the business lights beautify the space, masking in darkness the earlier blight of the lot. Trust though no matter what time of day you visit, its so worth moving past those pangs of uneasiness. The simple menu covers 4 main proteins, fish, beef, chix, goat, served with a starch and veg choice but delights in both flavor and portion size. And the owner, so upbeat and welcoming, offers up fresh choices as you work through the menu. Both the boneless chicken and pan fried goat were crave worthy though could of come off the grill a tad earlier. Uniquely spiced, as are the veggies okra and collard and spinach, you are in for such a treat! (Okra and Chinese Spinach from market today, as well as cabbage were off-menu options today). The pilau was oily but good and the chapati less dense and oily would knock it out of the park, but no real complaints here, we cleaned up! We chose the Fresh decaf Ginger tea on menu today, when we asked about the flavor profile of the health tea; a chai. The ginger was opaque syrupy sweet and also lemon tart, so addictive. Add a little more hot h20 to make it just right. When in town next, we will be back on Safari! read more

This place is AMAZING! My partner and I ordered some appetizers and shared one entree. I really loved the beef samosa we got - on top of the large portion, it was fried to perfection and the beef filling was so flavorful. The fish meal was also very delicious. My partner said it was probably one of the best fish he's ever had in his life so far. It's hard to tell in the picture, but the plate is giant! The fish comes with two side dishes of your choice, in which we got mixed veggies (spinach + collard greens) and rice and both were to die for. The fish was so crispy and super tender when bite into it. I'm not sure what seasoning they use, but it was so good that I wish I could buy it. It had a strong lemon flavor and goes perfectly with the fish! As others pointed out, it did take them a long time to get our food ready. But it's so worth the wait! If you are not in a rush, make sure to stop by here. You will not be disappointed! read more
