Customer Reviews
I have been craving egusi and fufu for weeks! I didn’t want to drive out of town to get any, so I googled places in Lancaster and this gem of a place pops up. I decided to visit today, and I was highly impressed! I walked in and a lovely lady welcomed me. She was the owner. There was also a gentleman behind the counter and he was very friendly as well. Although they did not have any egusi, they had other stews that smelled divine. I mean as soon as you walked in there was music playing and the smell of the food was out of this world! It felt so welcoming! It’s also very clean and tidy in this establishment. I couldn’t make a decision on what I wanted, so I ended up getting a small chicken curry, a large cabbage, a small pork stew, and some fufu to eat with the stews. The first bite I was l
This was our first time trying African food, absolutely delicious! My boyfriend got the beef stew with rice, and I got the chicken curry with Ugali. Everything was super flavorful!! The owners were also kind enough to give us a couple of samosas on the house. They were very nice and informative. We will definitely be back, next time we visit! Also prices were very fair.
Delicious food, friendly service, cute atmosphere inside. It was a little pricey, but definitely very good. The chicken curry was flavorful, and the cabbage salad was outstanding! And they gave us a complimentary samosa, which was nice. Great place and we'd go back.
Nice home cooked restaurant! The food was so good! My two youngest and I loved the fufu with the curry chicken. While my husband had the beef stew, beans and chicpati. My oldest gobbled up the chicken and rice. The meat was so tender and the flavors were spot on! Wish we were locals so we could go back often!
Delicious home style Kenyan food. Order over the counter food is hot and fresh. Goat curry, rice and spinach was very flavorful! Service was great too! Be aware that the food is on the pricier side. The goat, spinach, and rice shown totaled $27.00. Not terrible but comparing to similar restaurants with over the counter style ordering and similar cuisine it should be below $20.00. Recommend giving it a try!
