The 22 Best Restaurants in Santa Fe, New Mexico | Eater

"Chef Ahmed Obo combines the Swahili, Indian, Arabic, and European culinary influences of Kenya’s Lamu Island, where he was raised, to provide a taste of East Africa in Santa Fe. At Jambo Cafe, opened in 2009, check out the coconut pili pili shrimp, which features wild shrimp over spicy coconut tomato stew and basmati rice, alongside fan favorites like grilled jerk chicken and vegetarian dishes. The exterior of the restaurant looks unassuming, but this is one of those gems where both locals and visitors go to be transported across the world. Know before you go: All of the meats in the entrees are halal." - Karen Fischer
