The team at Nyama Mama have been dear friends of mine for years! Therefore when the day came to sample their food before they open their doors to the public this week, we had to turn up and try out their much awaited delicious food.
One thing we are guilty of in Kenya is not being too experimental with our traditional food. The same Ugali I first had when I was capable of eating solid food as a baby is the same one our family still has to date! So it was quite fascinating to hear that the Nyama Mama crew was determined to be play around with traditional Kenyan cuisine and tease us with a whole new angle.. Here is how it went!
Let start with the restaurant’s interiors.. As you walk in past the front desk, you encounter the open kitchen on your left and the bar straight ahead of you…
After which you step out to the terrace on your right.. The furniture was modern with a touch of African fabric. This made the space look quite vibrant.
There is a second level with more sitting space. What is interesting about this level is that everything can be disassembled to open up the space for an event. Secondly, there is a private dining space for those who value their privacy..
And finally we get to the food.. As I mentioned before, the menu has a heavy Kenyan influence, but you also have your usual suspects like burgers and salads. There are fusion dishes too (see the falafel…) Here is the itinerary of the food we sampled… Each dish was well presented and obviously full of flavour!
Ugali Fries With Garlic Sauce
Mashed Cassava Balls with Mama’s Pili Pili Sauce
Chicken 65 Marinated (Fried then tossed in a rich gravy)
Chapatti Quesadillas with Kachumbari and Guacamole
Falafel with Hummus
Beetroot Orange and Feta Salad
Curry Goat with Chapatti
Tusker BBQ Pork Belly with Mashed Sweet Potato
Crispy Grilled Rabbit (Sungura) Choma
Grilled Halloumi Burger
Smokehouse Burger
My Verdict? If you know what is good for your tastebuds, then stop by Nyama Mama and immerse yourself in some of the most delicious food I have tasted this year! Oh, and here is the tasting crew!
