Serengeti Kitchen

WOW!!! This was our first experience trying Tanzanian food. We were excited to try and the very nice young man gave us his recommendation and we tried it. Swahili Chicken Biryani and Samosas were perfection. The flavors were absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to bring my friends and family to try this.

This was the best food I had in awhile and probably the best vendor at 7th street market. My family was hesitant but once they saw my lamb plate they went and got food from Serengeti Kitchen too! A must try.

I absolutely tore this up , the seasoning was absolute insane. I got the vegan plate and I shoveled this in my mouth in about 5 minutes , no breathers I think. I am usually not a greens girl but as you can see the plate is CLEAN. Plantains 10/10, Rice + pintos 10/10, cabbage + greens 10/10, no notes

I loved it, plain & simple. Saw this place being reviewed on TikTok, and I wanted to try.. I was not disappointed in doing so. The food was seasoned well, with a pretty large portion (see pics below 📸.) Also for myself the sanitation score is important. They have a A. 👍🏾

This was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I got the Swahili chicken biryani plate and the meat was so tender and delicious, I was already thinking about the next time I'd come eat here! The beans paired really well with the chicken. I would come back here 10000 times. So so so yummy and flavorful!!! The service was also amazing! Wish I could give 10 stars!!

What an amazing experience! Ordered the food to go but the quality didn’t miss. Bold flavors, bursting with soul. The service was beyond satisfactory. Ticket time was as promised. Highly recommend this one

Absolutely amazing! My first time trying and it was sooo delicious. I got the, Swahili Biryani Plat!! I typically don’t like lamb, so I got chicken instead. They offered me a sample of the lamb bites and WOW! Delicious. everything was very good and flavorful. I’m from the south and this had the perfect amount of spices and seasonings. So balanced.

We just happened to be Charolette visiting for the first time and ran into this amazing Tanzanian restaurant in 7th Street Market and it just so happened to be their opening day! The food is amazing and the staff even more so. I’m Vegan and would definitely recommend their Swahili Vegan Plate, my kids had the Grilled Chicken Chapati wrap and loved it. My wife enjoyed the Swahili Plate with Grilled Sekela Chicken Bite so much she is ready to book a ticket to go visit Tanzania! Lol Congratulations on the opening again and would definitely come back and visit the next time we’re in town!

Popped in Market on 7th looking for a meal before the Panthers game and met some great staff and had a excellent meal. Chicken plate with rice and cabbage. Check them out

I highly recommend! Food delicious and fresh, service friendly and attentive. I ordered the grilled lamb plate and it was amazing! Ambiance is always a pleasure the Market at 7th street has so much to offer and this has made it even better!!

An unexpected find in Charlotte since it serves Tanzanian food which is rare in the United States. I had the grilled lamb bites Swahili plate which was delicious and elevated the dining scene in Charlotte. I wished the portions were bigger for the price but otherwise was delicious.

Great authentic Swahili food located inside the market at 7th st. I also ordered side of chapati flaky and delicious. Will come back. The lamb bites, rice and beans , plantain and rice were cooked to perfection with a little spice.

I was promptly greeted when approaching. The menu was not overwhelming, yet had enough options for meat eaters and non-meat eaters (Vegans ). The prices are reasonable, the food was very flavorful and plentiful (had enough leftovers for second meal). They validate parking at the connected garage (up to 2 hours). Seating was not an issue even on an unusually busy early Saturday afternoon at The Market on 7th St. I will be returning multiple times in the near future.

I just savored the last of my Swahili chicken bowl, and I can't wait to be able to have more! The portion is large and flavors were amazing. Heat, but not too much, nothing over or under done w regards to cooking and flavors. I can't wait to try more of their dishes! You don't have to be an adventurous eater to enjoy this! Highly recommend!

I started working close by 2 months ago, and am glad to have found this place. Flavors are incredible.

Delicious! There was a little spice/heat to the Serengeti chicken. Oh my gosh, it was fantastic!

Fresh delicious and perfect for a rainy night. Real home cooking. Authentic flavors! Everything was perfectly done!

This is probably the best healthier option at 7th Street Market. The Swahili plate is very filling and flavorful. The food is sort of a cross between Indian and African food.

The food here was delicious! I forgot to take a photo because after the first bite I just started chowing down haha. I got the Serengeti Vegan plate and everything was very flavorful and fresh. The plantains were perfect too! If you like Hibiscus tea, I would recommend grabbing one of those as well.

The food is amazing. Everything was nicely seasoned. The staff was super friendly. I ordered one of the combination plates which included chicken, coconut rice, beans, and some collard greens. I wish I would've taken pictures to display the food.
