Great food, decent prices!…read more I was seeking something beyond the typical food offerings while on my way to the airport, and this was my chosen spot. I'm not very familiar with African food, and the menu items were mostly unfamiliar to me. Even so, I'm thoroughly pleased with my take-out order (ugali with beef that also came with a couple sides: a little salad and lentils with cooked greens of some sort)! It was maybe a 15 min wait for my food to be prepared after ordering, but it came out hot and flavorful! I look forward to coming back again.

The server who took my order over the phone is friendly, answered my questions and helped me choose the sides. The establishment is half restaurant and half bar. Turn left after you enter through the door to get to the restaurant part. Food: Rafiki basket (3 appetizer combo) - mandazi (fried bread, slightly sweet) is my favorite, followed by the samosa (beef filling, kind of oily) Samaki WA Nchuzi (fried whole tilapia with sauce) - the sauce is not spicy, bright with lime and tomato. Mbuzi Kaanga (goat stew) - some bones as expected. Goat meat is tender and flavorful, though portion isn't that big. For sides we tried the collard greens, Ugali (white corn mash, very dense, not my favorite) and chapati. Overall a good first experience. We want to come back to try other dishes.

The advertisement and reviews were promising but when we came here the service is very off putting…read more We stood in the door way for about 5 min waiting to be seated with no one there. two people took our orders, and failed to properly inform us of the extra charge for sides that came with the fried and wet fish. Super expensive meal very low quality. We were looking to have a tasty cultural experience, and was greatly disappointed. They were nice and kind to their or culture of people but we found them to be very dismissive and uninterested in serving us. It was mid day around 3-5pm... we had to keep asking for food we ordered and the food was cold. They brought us the main food, five minutes later we had to ask for the sides. 10min later they brought it. We waited 30min for drinks... and like I said, no one was in there! Like two regulars drinking beer. I really wanted to enjoy, but we will not be coming back! God bless. Be better.

This place is hit or miss. If you are going for drinks and vibes then yes, your needs will be met…read morein time. If you are here for food, it's a toss up. The waits can be exceptionally long to order and to receive your food. It's a bit disorganized we were given our menu and waited twenty minutes before we ordered drinks. Someone else came and took the menu before we were asked what we wanted to eat. Had to request service and the menu to be returned to place an order. I've had good food from here but I've also been served cold goat stew here. This was my last attempt at supporting the business. They then double charged us for the drinks and overcharged for the food (by about thirty dollars so it wasn't a tax confusion). My partner recognized some negative vibes going on as well so we just paid left and gave the food away because the energy was too bad to consume that food. Won't be going back. I'll stick to Rafiki or go to Seattle for east African food that comes out hot.

I can't recommend this place enough. The service, atmosphere and food are all absolutely fantastic…read more You've got to check it out! The service was top notch from moment we walked in. We were welcomed with open arms and promptly greeted and shown our seats. Just minutes after we received the menu they surprised us with a complimentary appetizer- Sombusa and Somali Tea which was really good and it was all on the house!!! The entire place was sparkling clean, modern and oh so comfortable. The food was beyond delicious we decided to go all out and ordered the family plate with rice and pasta and it came with four different types of meats. Every bite burst with amazing flavors it was a true feast that left us incredibly satisfied and happy. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes from their menu. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I have been interested in trying this place out since it changed from Sluggo…read more I should have stayed away Where to start..?? Having a 20 tap beer wall with only 4 taps and being out of 2 is just the start. When yourwnu says waffle fries and you bring out the order with no waffle fries and when asked your response is "I guess we are out". Don't offer them or be preventative while the guest is ordering. The "it's so Gouda" doesn't live up to it's name. The chicken breast was overcooked and thinner than my overcooked (not waffle) fries. The guy who is out front, which I assume has no formal training, was only asked for refills twice. Overall if you like bad food and service, run to get here, I'm pretty sure that it won't be open very long.

I was in Tacoma for an event; a friend set up reservations for 12. She went into the restaurant that afternoon to let the owner know we had a big party coming. The wait staff struggled with English, and I had to help a friend order a tap cider that she was assured they didn't have. I pointed to the tap and let them know which one was a cider. Orders took 20 - 30 minutes and came out of order, despite we were the only ones there for most of the time. As a vegetarian, I like to see new options. I ordered an interesting-looking melted cheese sandwich with a mango chutney. The waiter looked mystified, and I pointed at the menu. 15 minutes later, he came back and said they didn't have it on the menu. I ordered a falafel sandwich with fries. They brought me a plate of three and fries. When I asked about the sandwich, he looked confused. We discussed it the next time he came back, and he came out ten minutes later with a plate of Tzatziki which I sent back. I never got my sandwich. The consensus was the food was ok. I don't see myself coming back.

This is a catering place, so the only tables and chairs are the ones out in the strip mall (no dine in). The gentleman who helped me was very nice. After I placed my order, it took about 7-10 minutes for my food to be finished. It was expertly packaged so it doesn't spill out on my way home. I ordered the plain egusi with fufu. The fufu was nice and fluffy. The egusi was very flavorful. I will have to ask them to make it spicy for me next time =0) Can't wait to come back to try their other dishes.
