We tried Taste of Africa last night with our teen girls—HOLY SMOKES…what an INCREDIBLE experience!!!! It was so incredible to try a cuisine we’d never experienced before and it was DELICIOUS. We ordered the Feast of Africa, which gave us an opportunity to try their most popular dishes. It starred with half beef and half veggie samosas—perfectly done and thee beef mixture was wonderful. On the large platter— The fried fish was INCREDIBLE, our daughters loved the chicken skewers and beef stir fry and my husband devoured the goat stir fry. We hope you’ll go and support this local business—we’ll definitely go back soon!!!!

Out of the many African diners I have been to, and I have been to many, this was one of the better ones. It is clean. The bathroom is very clean as well. The food tasted authentically East African in many ways. The fried tilapia is the best. The portion sizes are smaller than other places and the ugali could be softer and better cooked. But it works great since it tasted fresh. The wait time was a little long but the appetizer came back to back with the food. I recommend this place because they’re doing a better job than in many places I’ve been too.

Wanted to try something out of the norm, but now will be making this part of my regular rotation of restaurants for take out or eat in. Excellent service with knowledgeable staff and she gave great recommendations for what we ended up ordering. What a pleasant surprise and excellent, hot and stick-to-your-ribs good!

Absolutely delicious! Flavors and seasoning and just great food! They have some killer fried fish, delicious beef and chicken stews, stir fry and desserts are amazing! I highly recommend. You may have a bit of a wait but it’s absolutely worth it. They are so nice and polite and even the chef came to apologize for the delay and offered us desserts. If you’re looking to try some East African food, please go here!

This was my second visit, last time I had Fish in sauce which was great. Tried appetizer platter and chicken skewers with rice today. OMG they were delicious and service was awesome, the front girl was gentle and patient with us. Had a good time in that ambience. I reckon this restaurant 5/5

Like everyone said the wait time is pretty long. In addition, the portion size was quite small. It was weird because I saw some other plates with lots of food. It was an okay experience.

I recently visited Taste of Africa, a locally-owned restaurant serving authentic African cuisine. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the friendly staff who were happy to offer food recommendations. The menu had a great variety of options, including vegetarian choices which was a big plus.
