As a lover of West African cuisine, my recent visit to Mama Ashanti Waterfront in Kuwinda Langata, Nairobi, was a delightful experience that I couldn’t wait to share! Located in a vibrant neighborhood, stepping into Mama Ashanti’s was like being embraced by the warmth of home-cooked meals and rich traditions.
The moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the friendly staff. I particularly had a wonderful interaction with Kobe, our waiter, who immediately made us feel at home. His professional yet friendly demeanor enhanced our dining experience as he attentively catered to our needs.
Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the food! I was excited to try their acclaimed jollof rice and meat platter. Described by reviewers as “the real deal,” the jollof rice was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice, making every bite a delight. The platter came with tender, well-seasoned meats that paired beautifully with the flavorful rice. I could see why the dish received a 10/10 rating!
Diving deeper into the menu, I also sampled the seafood jollof delight and whole stewed fish. The seafood was generous with a hearty serving of shrimps and the fillet was astonishingly fresh. One reviewer perfectly encapsulated my thoughts when they mentioned, "The food itself was 5-star!" I can't emphasize how impressed I was with the flavors, freshness, and the chef’s heartfelt visit to check on our satisfaction. It truly reflected the authentic West African dining experience!
