This is my 2nd time coming here. It was so good that I had to come again. Great authentic East African comfort food! Food comes out quickly and is delicious EVERY SINGLE TIME! No matter how finicky your palette may be, you will find something absolutely delicious and filling! This is my new favorite place!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The food was so flavorful! Had sambusa appetizer- could eat like a dozen of them! - so good and it’s dipping sauce! We had the Nyumbani and Kumuhana, with coconut rice and a side of kuku- drank warm delicious hibiscus tea, and ended with the coco mango dessert! 10/10 for flavors and portions! Very friendly service; quick serving of food! Definitely going back here over and over! Parking was available street side via a Detroit parking app (was like $2 for 2 hrs)… definitely recommend going here for anyone looking for some authentic East African flavors!

Cool “neighborhood” eatery. Tasty foods with nice warm spices. Lamb shank was off-the-bone tender. Fried fish perfectly seasoned and good texture. Loved the spiced rice. Fizzy drink very refreshing. Service was friendly and efficient. An unpretentious relaxed vibe. Great place to try out African cooking and flavors.
