I will certainly be back to Masala Yangu an east African restaurant, there were some very good dishes.

Calvin Young owns the place with his wife, Rahila (a native Kenyan). we had a group that had some menu based items as well as some that were not on the menu.

For our particular dinner we did not have the sambusas (kind of samosa) but some of our fellow diners really liked these so I would suggest getting them.

The fish in ground cassava leaves with peanuts was a great dish as was the lamb with okra, the latter being stir fried so that there was no slimy texture to the okra.

The grilled lamb chops marinated in lemon juice and spices were terrific.

curried green bananas were good but most of us would have preferred the bananas to be slightly more ripe.

Here’s an off-menu item: cow hoof soup. The broth was fine, and the hoof gelatinous. Even though very gelatinous, the cow’s hooves were good, nice spice.

A number of condiments/sauces were served. The citrus-based hot sauce which was pili pili, peppers, lemons was a hit, heat wise and taste. there was also a yogurt based sauce as well as a pure pepper/chili paste that was hot but not too hot to enjoy the taste of the food.

It was a very enjoyable meal.

BYOB with wine, they do serve a number of beers including Tusker a Kenyan beer which I was more than happy to drink.
