Dirty
Although menu is vast, I only eat their wings. I once asked for ugali kachumbari and stew to take out, and went to the kitchen only to my amazement found the cook mixing the kachumbari with bare hands! Use gloves people. Also, on a different occassion was handed a doggie box with a dead cocroach in it. eeeew.    [02 Aug 2004 17:29:22]

Authentic Kenyan
Great Kenyan food in an authentic atmosphere. A true nyama choma in the heart of DC. Easily the best samosas in the entire region.    [07 Aug 2005 21:39:04]

Best authentic East African cuisine in town
Food variety is awesome. My best dish is beef stew & chapati. The house soup is fantastic too. The service is poor however. The slow stone-faced waiters just mess up what would otherwise be a perfect dinning experience (what with the great decor & a state of the art kitchen). The tuskers rock (nothing beats having a cold one after a long tough day at work).    [04 Nov 2005 17:36:31]

excellent food
Good tasty food for a mere $10 and they do have the real Kenyan sausages. Do not foget to include a tusker with your order. There is room for improvement on the service. However, the atmosphere is pleasent with great music playing in the back ground.    [09 Nov 2005 13:57:25]

good food and atmosphere
We like this place, the food is good, fairly inexpensive, and the decor is great. also, they are glad to work with your dietary restrictions like if you are vegetarian or vegan, just tell them and they'll work it out.    [15 Nov 2005 14:12:25]

good food, very poor service
I have to admit the food is good, but the only problem is the service which is horrible. I have been there more than 5 times and everytime I always wonder if I should tip or not cause I have to go to the kitchen to get a server, to wait on our table. There is definetly a lot of improvement that is required on that department.......    [18 Apr 2006 13:42:15]
