It does include livers (I think that is what I ate - it does not say what the meats are when ordering), but I love all organ meats, so it was a treat for me - especially when cooked correctly and fresh). The whole dish reminded me of a comforting, home-cooked meal made with love. The portion is generous -- I will easily get 3 meals out it. Definitely will be ordering again, and I am looking forward to visiting in person soon - I had it Door dashed.

It was just ok. I probably wouldn't come back. We ordered…read morethe okra soup with fufu and chicken and rice with coleslaw and plantain. The soup flavor was different and I would have been able to eat it, however, there were so many bone chips/chunks. Almost every bite I took had bone in it. I couldn't eat any more of it. The fufu was interesting. It didn't have much flavor, but my daughter loved it! That is pretty much all She ate. The chicken and rice was very good! It was very flavorful and yummy. The plantains were probably some of the best I have had. We got 2 dishes for 4 of us...2 adults and 2 kids. Had we actually eaten the soup it would have been a sufficient amount of food for all of us, so the serving sizes were generous. Just about all the dishes were $20 each. The service was pretty blah. There were teenagers working and not being very attentive. The girl that took our order and rang us up tried to drastically undercharge my husband. Good thing he is honest because he had to ask several times if that was the correct price, she finally figured it out. There was a young man who took over when she left. He was more attentive than she was. If someone wanted to come here and pay for it, I would join them, but I wouldn't choose to come here again on my own. I wanted to get a picture of the chicken and rice but I couldn't before my kids dug in.

It was a Thursday when I went in, so I tried the Thursday special of egusi, which is a seafood soup with lots of vegetables and herbs. While it was not my cup of tea, I definitely wanted to try something I knew nothing about, and I'm very happy I tried it. I also tried the fufu, and this was super interesting, and I did enjoy it. The locale is very unassuming, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I can't wait to be back in the area to try more new dishes!

The service was excellent and the food was just as great in person as it is when delivered. The dining area is small but welcoming, and it's clear that people from many different backgrounds enjoy coming here, which adds to the warm and vibrant atmosphere. During my visit, I had the pleasure of meeting Mama Kissi, who kindly finished taking my order. She was incredibly sweet and made the experience feel personal and welcoming. It's easy to see why this place continues to grow in popularity. With such great food and genuine hospitality. I'm also excited to hear that they will soon be moving to a larger location. Eden & Kissi is truly a gem and well worth a visit.

They don't have an official menu yet, just pictures above the register and a poster outside before you walk in. In this area is Safari Grill, which to me is still the Queen Of African Cuisine. But my chicken saquur here was very good as well. It took me 2 minutes to get my food so it's not made to order like Safari Grill. The spaghetti is very good, but Safari is still better. The hot sauce is legit though! This is a hole in the wall, 4 stars because there's nothing fancy here. But for $10 you get some authentic east African food. Come try it!
