4 is the magic number. I got lucky and pulled into the last of the 4 parking spots in front.
Friendly person in charge welcomed me in. Cool African artifacts.
Lots of tempting choices.
I chose the oxtail.
Plantains were soft and sweet. Maggie loved them.
Fries were crispy and had tasty fried potato flavor.
Chapati was like a tortilla and I liked the mild flour tortilla like flavor.
Oxtail was tender and full of beefy flavor. Loved the sauce and the stuff used to season the oxtail. The rich flavors remind me of the oxtail at Havana Grill. This is one of the best preparations of oxtail I’ve had.
2nd visit.
Nyama Choma was well done and hard to cut with a butter knife.
It too dry and the texture was rough. The flavor was beefy with just the right amount of salt. I think it was top sirloin steak. My preference is for ribeye cooked medium.
Beef mbavu choma were tender and moist. Loved the flavor. There was a sauce on it which was delicious in small quantities.
Spicy beef sambusa had a crunchy shell with tender beef and a little spice from the red bell peppers.
Staff was very nice and answered a bunch of questions I had.
