    A true hidden gem of the Allentown food scene. Went here the other night and was blown away. My…read moreexperience with African food is pretty limited and I've been meaning to fix that. This was the perfect place to explore the cuisine from the continent. I had the pilau which consisted of rice, beef and veggies. The beef was so tender and the seasoning on the dish was perfect. I also had the chickpea samosas which were wonderful and the freshly made mango pineapple juice was delicious and super refreshing. The restaurant itself is so intimate and the African art all over the wall was fun to look at as we dined. Chef Tina is not only a brilliant cook but a warm and welcoming host too. They could tell it was our first time so they talked us through the menu and made spot-on recommendations. She even saved my meal by stopping me from dumping on her special hot sauce without trying it first. I tested and it was a bit too intense for me but if you love super spicy food then you will be in heaven. A great meal and worth the price I think. Just be sure to bring cash for tip or tell them to add it on before swiping your card. They definitely earn a big one here. Can't wait to go back!!

All dishes were fresh and delicious. As far as ambiance, lower your expectations and embrace the cultural experience. You will enter a hole in the wall that authentically reproduces a local joint in Kenya (minus the Tusker). Both fish dishes are recommended, wet and dry. Their chili is very hot and a must. The wings are excellent, I love the crunchy skin. The homemade juices are a must. You will leave feeling like you were with Kenyan friends that you didn't know you had. 10 stars for hospitality.

    You may have heard the word Fufu wandering around social media recently, as how- to videos for an…read more"easy" version of this carb heavy protein rich comfort food. I say skip the make at home version, because this restaurant will make it for you for a very fair price, and with no fuss whatsoever. We ordered a range of stews along with jollof rice. I asked for everything to be mildly spiced (other than the designer stew, which is largely habanero peppers and so can not be mild!) Everything was well seasoned, freshly prepared, and filling. We ate outside with a friend and the warmth of the pepper stew helped keep us distracted from the cold. Our favorite thing was actually the meat pies. They are homemade with a sweet dough and a delicious meat and potato filling. They are also a bargain at $5 for two hand sized pies. They would make an amazing lunch on their own and were just as delicious at room temperature as they were fresh from the oven. I do have to warn you about ordering the chin chin dessert. It is delicious, and you will wish you had more once it's gone. Order it early in the weekend in case you need to run back for more by Sunday night, or you'll have to wait almost a week for the restaurant to reopen. Go get yourself some fufu!
