I stopped in here yesterday afternoon for lunch after my coworker recommended it, and I left feeling like a million bucks! The community was showing this place some love today too which is always great to see. I was also greeted by such a kind hearted lady working the register. She had such a warm vibe and her customer service was excellent. I ordered the beef ugali and I cleared the whole plate. The best way to describe it would be sharing all the thoughts that went through my mind at the time of eating. Ooo, ugali has an interesting texture and they made it into a geometrical shape, cool! Ugali goes so well with both the veggies and the meat what the heck?! Whatever yellowness is soaking into the ugali from these veggies is actually delicious. This meat with peppers is so good and it is in a bunch of perfectly bite sized pieces, wow. This green hot sauce has the right amount of heat and goes great on the ugali. Plus I get a banana and a bottle of water, terrific! Anyways, everything was seasoned well and each component complimented the other perfectly. The portions were generous, the dish was filling, and I left feeling super energized. I can't wait to stop by here again and explore more of the menu. I was also able to find free parking relatively easy about a block up the street in a neighborhood. The dining tables and space could've used a wipe down but other than that, no complaints!

I ordered Rice with Goat for take out and it was so good. The goat was so amazingly tender while the rice was perfectly fluffy. I also had a beef sambusa which was filled with ground beef. The service was fast and very friendly. Would definitely visit again.
