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.

Excerpts

We got viyazi vya kukanga, surf and turf, and green mango chicken curry. And to drink we ordered a cardamom tamarind juice. It was all delicious. The quality and flavors were unbeatable. What's more, the service was phenomenal. Also, the artwork here is stunning. We will 100% come back.

I loved the oxtail. The flavors complement the rice and beans wonderfully. My wife ordered the beef skewers. Flavors good but the beef was dry and over cooked. Mango curry and the surf and turf were both well loved by our party. Gluten free options were nice!

Shout out to Kafe Mamai for dinner last night; our first time there. Sorry for the lack of photos. The menu is a Caribbean ‐African fusion. Anyway, it was SO good. We had the jerk chicken, both the sandwich (pictured) and chicken entree, the Kenyan lentil stew, and the mango green chicken curry. We had the plantain as an appetizer and it was probably the best plantain ever. (We got the picture after everybody had eaten over 3/4 of it). The food was incredibly tasty and the portions were good-sized. I thought the prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity. The place was nice and the service was attentive without being overbearing. It's an intimate, small, restaurant. We highly recommend it.
