Mama Ashanti

Mama Ashanti is a charming restaurant that offers a delightful escape into the heart of West African cuisine. The ambience is one of its best features, with a warm, inviting atmosphere and tasteful décor that reflects the rich cultural heritage of the region. Soft lighting and soothing Afrobeat music set the mood, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed evening with friends or family. When it comes to the food, however, it can be a bit of a hit or miss. On some occasions, dishes like the Jollof rice or Suya are flavorful and well-seasoned, giving you a real taste of West Africa’s bold and vibrant flavors. Other times, the food can be underwhelming, lacking the depth and excitement you’d expect from such a promising menu. The variety is decent, but consistency seems to be an issue. One major downside is the wait time. The service is slow, with dishes taking longer than expected to arrive. This detracts from the overall dining experience, especially if you’re in a hurry or simply hungry. Despite this, the food is generally good – not exceptional, but satisfying if you're craving West African cuisine. Overall, Mama Ashanti delivers a pleasant dining experience with its lovely ambience and average but enjoyable food. If you have the patience for slower service, it’s worth a visit, especially for those looking to explore authentic West African flavors.

West African food, music and ambiance, a nice harbour within Lavington, full of green with trees and flowers and enough space for all kinds of people. Note that it is very kid friendly with a nice playground and a field to play balls and other games

Enjoyed my time at Mama Ashanti. Authentic West African cuisine and very friendly and welcoming staff.

Spicy variety of foods! As a Cameroonian, it’s refreshing and comforting to find restaurants that tease and soothe my taste buds. Been here 5 times now and I’ll keep coming back🤩😋 A lot of outdoor space, play area for kids, indoor space too, green green environment. Love it?

Great food, great portions, great service and plenty parking space

This place has lots of outdoor space. It feels very relaxing and time flies by! Service is great and food did not take too long to prepare. Our server was happy to help us pick our meals since we weren't very familiar with West African cuisine. It was a nice experience. There are other options if that's not for you, so if you're in a group, everyone should be catered for.

In my search for authentic Nigerian cuisine in Kenya, I stumbled upon Ashanti Restaurant, and what a delightful discovery it was! The setting is beautiful, the service impeccable, and the food superb. From the savory jollof rice to the flavorful grilled meats, every dish is a culinary masterpiece. I will definitely be back for more when next I am in Kenya.
