★★★★★ 5.0 Ben Benson · Nov 2025

Tembo Grill is so good! We stopped in on a cold day for lunch, having never tried Kenyan food before. We ordered goat and chicken stews, with seasoned rice, coconut rice, vegetables and greens. We also got samosas. Everything was delicious! The meats were tender and flavorful, the sauces were perfect. The samosas were so good we wished we weren’t so full! The people who work there were also very friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

This simple and unaffected dining space belies the delicious food served. We enjoyed the crispy fresh samosas, which were delicious and only a little spicy, sausages, fresh chapati, goat and beef stews, greens and both spiced rice and coconut rice. The greens in particular were excellent, finely chopped and robustly flavored, while the meats were tender and the sauces were rich and savory. We wanted to be try the fish dishes, but they had prepared a huge catering order and had run out. I think we'll likely be back to try those as well.

If I could give 10 starts I would!!!!! Tried it the other day and it was OUTSTANDING!!!!! the couple who owns it we’re so nice, the food was incredible and everything tasted out of this world!!! I literally never want to eat out anywhere else ever again because nothing compares to how great it was! Fish was excellent , rice was cooked perfectly and these were the best collard greens I ever had!!! My new favorite spot

I had the goat stew and the pilau rice, the blend of flavors was so fantastic and the goat was stewed to the perfect texture. The mural inside is also gorgeous and service was very courteous. I’ll definitely be back soon!

★★★★★ 5.0 Ezra Stanley · Oct 2022

This is my new favorite restaurant in Worcester. The plantains and the collard greens were to die for. The goat stew is a favorite. My partner’s tilapia was the only good tilapia I’ve ever had. The portions are good. The staff was friendly and the service was fast.
