Went here for the first time ever, on a Saturday night for the club experience. Had a great time! The security and hostess were very friendly/helpful. I have a 24 year old son with autism, they noticed he was different and helped him immediately. And the sound system is excellent! If you like bass, this is the place to go. More bass than Monkey Loft, at least as good as Trinity. We will be back for the club again, and also to try the food!

definitely coming back. Phibi gave friendly service and the food was amazing. The goat soup was creamy, warm, and flavorful. Also loved their tripe and goat entree.

Ann was our server. She was super friendly & not only showed us the ropes but got us excited about the meals. Man did she lead us down a wonderful path. Food was out of this country, but with a home cooked family style vibe. Reggae played through out the visit. Really took me away on a cold spring day afternoon in Seattle/Kent. Will be back soon!

The food was amazing. I had Ugali with goat stew and greens. The sukuma wiki, I have to say, was not seasoned much,however, my companion said it’s not always bland as it was that day. The music was not too loud in the restaurant section and was able to hold a conversation. The servers were friendly.

My friend and I ordered the chicken curry and the nyama choma or grilled beef. We had ours with a side of Kenyon flatbread. Both were extremely delicious. For an appetizer we had samosa and the sausages. Extremely good. I definitely recommend this place to anybody who’s looking for something different.

I ordered a takeout & the waiting period before they confirm & get your order is unnecessary.

Amazing food, kind staff, and great vibe. I’ve been wanting to try their food for a while and I’ll definitely be back. The bar looks like a pretty good spot to hang out and relax.

I’m a good ole West Virginia hillbilly in town and wanted something different and I’m glad I made the decision to come to Rafikis. Only thing better than the food was the service. I tried the goat dish and didn’t have any regrets
