"This College Area outpost of Flavors of East Africa is an extension of the North Park restaurant, which started as a vendor at local farmer’s markets and street fairs. The menu’s build-your-own combos begin with entrees like jerk chicken or curry lentils and include rice and vegetarian sides." - Candice Woo

Everything is seasoned well, great balance of flavors. Chicken is still moist and the dark meat almost taste like steak the way he seasons it. The man behind the counter had good vibes that complemented the reggae. Next time i will get his name. 9/10 will eat again

This place was delicious! Don't let the negative reviews fool you. Yes, its not situated like a 5 star restaurant, but what you get in return is some quality, good tasting, and well portioned food. My daughter's shared a small platter and the wife and I a medium. It was more than enough food to share. Service was also friendly which was a plus. The lady serving was a little quiet (which some people might mistaken as rude behavior), but you can tell she was friendly and wanted to make sure we had a pleasant experience. Definitely recommend you give it a try

Food is absolutely amazing! We got two Kubwa plates with saffron rice, sweet jerk chicken, spicy jerk chicken, curry chicken and one other that I forget but again just amazing! I cannot recommend this place enough. This was our first time but will not be our last.

Excellent food! I don’t know anything about East Africa, but I had the saffron rice and eggplant and kidney beans with collard greens and LOVED the flavors. Cumin in there and a lot of other flavors. The guy who served it up was from Kenya! Wish a place like this existed near my home

One of the best unexpected meals I've had in 2024. Excellent flavor and quality ingredients, you can tell the food is made with passion. Put simply, just really well prepared food with lots of different main and side options to create your own plate.

Just not good. Smelled bad inside restaurant so I took it to go. Expensive for how much food you get too which makes it worse

Absolutely knocked it out of the park. Best service I’ve had from a restaurant in a long time, I don’t normally write reviews but just had to let everyone know to try this place out! Was given free samples of both the chicken and juices without even having to ask. Seriously great food.

Amazing!! Food is delicious. Lots of options for vegan and gluten free people. I got the coconut rice, sweet jerk chicken, and eggplant. I asked to try some plantains and he threw a few in for me! Kept me full all day, amazing customer service, I can’t recommend this place enough.
