Jambo Cafe

This restaurant is truly one of a kind. The flavors are distinctive and genuinely special—you can taste the care and artistry in every dish. The pecan pie is absolutely amazing and the perfect way to end a meal; I highly recommend it. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and rich with culture, making the whole experience even better. The imports section is also really cool and adds to the uniqueness of the place- I was able to take some of the jerk chicken spices home! 10/10—would absolutely recommend!

Excellent Gem of Santa Fe! The restaurant is also a wonderful furniture and artisan store. With practical crafts made from all over Africa by artisans compliments the food wonderfully. It’s like dropping into the subcontinent of Africa. The food was fantastic slow cooked meat with an incredible pomegranate barbecue sauce stuffed in a pita! I will definitely be coming back for dinner!

Went here on NYE. Service was great, and the food was delicious. We tried the crab cakes, peanut chicken stew, chicken curry, and chickpea stew as a sampler. Also had the jerk wings and cinnamon plantains, cobbler, and flan. It was all really good. They had tons of gluten free options as well.

Really good selections at Jambo Cafe! As a first timer, I was a little overwhelmed and wanted to try everything. Our waitress was friendly and patient. She recommended the combination plate, of which I had the luxury of choosing 3 out of 6 offerings. I went with the goat curry, lamb stew, and chicken curry. My partner had the oxtail stew. They all knocked it out of the park! Paired that with affordable wine selections and we had a great date night! Can’t wait to go back!

Very excellent food. Was neither looking for this kind of cuisine nor disappointed in the result. The tropical tea, unsweetened, was something unique to me. Would repeat if ever again in the area.
