Tonight I ordered the salmon, jokof rice and s spinach. Spinach too soft, rice too hard and salmon didnt have much seasoning. First time I ordered from here food was good, same meal at that. While my salmon was cooked the way I like, for it to be African cuisine there isnt much flavor on my salmon... $60 meal in the end and no burns

The mbuzibites my boyfriend ordered were not as described or pictured. They were not chunks of meat, but instead were served on the bone, and there were no plantains. The red beans were pretty good, but the star was the side of spinach. The flatbread was stale and not flaky at all.

I usually order from Swahili Village, and the food is great. This time, I ordered the goat meat, and it was mostly bones. I tried to call the restaurant a couple of times to express concern, but no one answered. Disappointing!

Grilled Chicken Breast -Kuku Choma side portions are a bit small, especially the rice, but absolutely delicious dish.
