★★★★★ 5.0 Alfred Kirui · Mar 2026

The ambience in the restaurant is magical. It is a perfect place for family and friends to dine. The food is of great taste and texture with world class presentation. The Chefs are very skilled with the variety menu choices from appetizers to entrées. I had mouth watering lamb chops cooked to perfection. I would recommend this place anytime.

First time here to check out the food. My buddy said the lamb chops looked amazing and that the wings were delicious. Unfortunately, they didnt have lamb chops tonight but they gave me pork instead and it was very tender, well seasoned. This and the samosas were my favorite items! My son ordered the steak and it was delicious. Everything came out hot and fresh, our wait time was about 15 to 20 mins. The restaurant was clean as well as the bathrooms. We watched the Seahawks vs the Rams. I like how they have a bar on the other side, but the ability to watch the game on the restaurant side. Our server was great and very helpful. I will definitely come back to try the tilapia and lamb chops! The only menu item that wasn't my favorite was the kale, but that is because I prefer kale not choppe

Kenyan restaurant in lakewood Washington. Very spacious. Offers ample parking. The food is delicious. Order as soon as you walk on since food takes time to prepare but well worth the wait.

★★★★★ 5.0 Julie M · Feb 2026

The BEST lamb chops I’ve ever eaten! I’m moving to Kenya later this year so I was so happy to find an authentic Kenyan restaurant right here in Lakewood. The chef makes his own spice blends. Came for a wonderful Valentines celebration with my wonderful husband. Can’t wait to return. The staff is very welcoming and educated me on the menu. My only find is that it takes a long time for your food to come out. It was worth the wait!

Had to wait an hour for food it’s Overpriced the portion were horrible. Ordered food to go the customer service was a disaster. The waiter flirted with my husband the entire time. Don’t waste your money here
