“ This place has the best Kenyan food in America, and it just took me back home to my mom's cooking! The portions are incredibly generous, and the flavors are unmatched. I'm willing to drive another 25 minutes just to have another taste. ”
“ Best Samosas I’ve ever had! I also ordered the Curry goat, pilaf rice and greens. The flavor was so on point! Oh my goodness, I never had Kenyan food before and let me tell you, The Tribe did not disappoint! I started eating the food and was instantly like let me take a picture real quick because I had to tell y’all about this hidden gem . I spoke with the owner, who is a Navy Veteran and his staff, and they were all very pleasant. I will definitely be back! ”
“ Food was delicious! The samosas were still crunchy when we got home, the cury goat was super tender, and the grilled fish was super flavorful covered in a thick red sauce. Place is off the chain! Def will be going back ”
“ I honestly can’t recommend Tribe enough. The food slapped—each bite was full of flavor and left me wanting more. I came close to ordering every single item on the menu because everything looked that good—and tasted even better. Every dish hit the spot and was downright scrumptious. Easily the best food I’ve had in this city. If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and go. Tribe isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat! ”
“ Absolutely delicious Kenyan food! We got the Ugali Greens with pork and the Mukimo and Cabbage with beef along with a side of samosas. Everything was so tasty and flavorful and came in large portions! We will definitely be back to try more off the menu. They’re super friendly and the remodeled front area is very welcoming. Takeout only as it’s very small with no dining area. ”
“ We ordered two goat curry , one chicken stew, two beef samosas, with collards, cabbage and bread. Cost 85 and was enough to split evenly for four adults, would highly recommended! ”
