Finally a taste of familiar, organic, African food! I have been longing for fish and ugali, the coconut fish is an absolute delight.

I have been driving by this place for quite some time. On Saturday night we decided to stop in and check it out. Was a little nervous about the bouncers at the door but once we got inside it's one of the most exciting and popping clubs in Federal Way. Music was amazing. The bartenders were super friendly and everybody inside was having a good time and dancing. This place is definitely a hidden gem, just sitting there on the side of highway 99. We did not try the food but we will definitely be back to try it. Amazing! Smells just kept wafting from the kitchen all night long.

Best East African food in town. Great service. Highly recommend

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Ebony Hurt · Dec 2025

Atmosphere is ok because the music is good and it has decent lighting. Food is often (3 visits) hard and dry & unfortunately my stew was cold upon receipt at the table on my last two attempts to try this place. Service is absolutely trash if it even exists. They also overcharge some customers so i recommend you ask for a receipt if you order food. They’d do better to hire professional servers, it would improve the reviews and overall service and experience.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Enos Nyamor · Jun 2025

First of all, there are no seats. You gotta reserve seats and no space to even dance. Most customers are seated just staring. Definitely kills the vibe. Also the security guards don’t use a wand but bare hands to frisk customers. A lot of unprofessional approach to hospitality. The food is also microwaved so if you get matumbo (tripe), get ready for food poisoning. They can do better. I don’t think this is the real feel of Kenya, but we appreciate the effort. The owners nes to put more effort in design.
