Kafe' Mamai

We got viyazi vya kukanga, surf and turf, and green mango chicken curry. And to drink we ordered a cardamom tamarind juice. It was all delicious. The quality and flavors were unbeatable. What's more, the service was phenomenal. Also, the artwork here is stunning. We will 100% come back.

I loved the oxtail. The flavors complement the rice and beans wonderfully. My wife ordered the beef skewers. Flavors good but the beef was dry and over cooked. Mango curry and the surf and turf were both well loved by our party. Gluten free options were nice!

Shout out to Kafe Mamai for dinner last night; our first time there. Sorry for the lack of photos. The menu is a Caribbean ‐African fusion. Anyway, it was SO good. We had the jerk chicken, both the sandwich (pictured) and chicken entree, the Kenyan lentil stew, and the mango green chicken curry. We had the plantain as an appetizer and it was probably the best plantain ever. (We got the picture after everybody had eaten over 3/4 of it). The food was incredibly tasty and the portions were good-sized. I thought the prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity. The place was nice and the service was attentive without being overbearing. It's an intimate, small, restaurant. We highly recommend it.

I just tasted Kafe’ Mamai for the first time at a Boys and Girls Club event downtown tonight! I had the rice, jerk chicken, another kind of chicken, some and sweet plantains. These were so delicious! The rice comes with a great blend of spices and beans and hit the spot. The plantains were divine! We will definitely go check out their location!

My husband and I recently moved to downtown Salt Lake, so we’ve been trying out all the nearby restaurants and we are THRILLED to have discovered this place! The staff were very kind and provided some great recommendations. We ordered the jerk chicken wings for an appetizer, and the surf and turf and tilapia dish as the main entrees. All dishes were an explosion of flavor — nothing I’ve ever tasted here in Utah! The chicken in the wings and surf & turf was incredible tender. Serving sizes were also very generous and we are so pleased to have leftovers. We can’t wait to come back and try everything on the menu!
