Ubuntu Meat Bar & Safari Spice Grill

Where do I start? This was my first time visiting, and I was thoroughly impressed — from the service to the food! Shan was incredibly friendly and pleasant to talk to, and I felt welcomed the moment I walked in, which means a lot. The interior is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the service is excellent. I think I’ve found my new favorite place to eat in Everett. I highly recommend checking them out!

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Patrick was super helpful and kind in teaching us about the different dishes and sides. We ordered the lamp chops, goat stew, and tilapia. Such a great experience and the prices for the amount of food you got was amazing.

My wife and I had an amazing experience at Ubuntu in Everett. From start to finish everything was fantastic. Shanetta was our server, bartender, and also the cook, which honestly blew us away. Even while handling everything on her own, she was attentive, friendly, and made sure everyone in the restaurant was taken care of. She did an incredible job and deserves a ton of credit for how smoothly she ran things. I ordered the pichana steak and my wife had the rack of lamb. Both dishes were outstanding. The blend of seasonings and spices was unique, bold, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite was top notch. We also tried the African greens, Jamaican rice and peas, samosa, and the Parotta Madurai. Everything was absolutely delicious and cooked with care. I highly recommend checking this place out if you want something different and full of flavor. If it is normal for them to have one person handling the kitchen, hosting, serving, and bartending, I would just suggest being patient. The food and service are worth it. Hopefully they staff up in the future because this place has so much potential. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely loved our experience at Ubuntu Grill in Everett! The food was amazing - fresh, flavourful, and deeply authentic. The chef is Malawian, and you can truly taste the heart and tradition in every bite. We had the samosas, Nsiima, goat stew, and chicken wings. Each dish was spot-on and brilliantly done. The goat stew was rich and tender, the wings perfectly seasoned, and the Nsiima took us straight to Southern Africa. We’re already planning to go back often. Highly recommend!

Ubuntu Bar & Grill is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and from the moment we walked in, we felt like we were in good hands. The owner, Patrick, was incredibly kind and hospitable—and knowing that he personally cooks all the food made the experience even more special. We were blown away by the flavors. The garlic steak was perfectly seasoned and juicy, the short ribs were melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the plantains were the ideal balance of sweet and savory. Every dish was clearly made with care and passion. You can feel the love in both the food and the service at Ubuntu. Patrick has created something truly special here—we can’t wait to come back!

Everyone should come here to try their food. It was the best meal I’ve had in a long time. We had no idea what to eat initially other than we wanted to try the fufu but Shan was super helpful in helping us decide. She was super friendly and attentive, and elevated our experience even more. All the dishes she suggested, we ordered and they were all absolutely exceptional. Meat fell right off the bone, the spices were mouthwatering, and overall great comfort food. We definitely will be going back to try more! Highly highly recommend.

Food was delicious, came here with my dad on a recommendation. New to the cuisine but had fabulous guidance. I must say, although the bread (Parotta) was amazing by itself, you gotta save it for the oxtail stew. We also got Peri Peri Chicken, Jollof, South African Yellow Rice, and Chakalaka. 10/10 will come again with the whole family next time.

Everything about Ubuntu was amazing. Must gets are the goat stew, parotta madurai, and mango lassi. Shan was an excellent and made the entire experience warm, welcoming, and overall exceptional.

Not sure that this place is real. Placed a decently sized order early in the evening - an hour later the delivery driver said they turned him down and weren't taking orders. I called their number and no one picked up. Felt really bad for wasting the driver's time. Beware ordering and if you're willing to risk it then make sure you have a backup
