If you’re looking to indulge in a culinary journey that resonates with the heart and soul of West Africa, then Mama Ashanti Waterfront is the place to be. Located at Kuwinda Langata, Nairobi, Kenya, this cozy eatery radiates warmth and tradition. I visited recently on a cozy Saturday afternoon, and it turned out to be an experience I won't soon forget.
As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the delightful aroma of spices wafting through the air. The ambiance was just right, with a live band strumming gentle tunes that made for a perfect background. But the real treat was the smiling face of Kobby, my waiter, whose polite demeanor and attentiveness made me feel right at home. Blessed to have him serve me!
I went straight for the crown jewel of the menu: the Jollof rice and goat meat platter. Priced at a reasonable 999 KES, this dish was indeed a 10/10 experience as promised by other diners. Each spoonful was bursting with flavor, and the spices danced delightfully on my palate. The goat was tender and well-seasoned—every bit delightfully authentic! There was no doubt about it; this Jollof was the real deal. My taste buds were completely satisfied.
Next, I couldn’t resist trying their Seafood Jollof Delight, which my fellow diners had raved about. It's not just any seafood dish; this one comes with an abundance of fresh shrimp, and the fish fillet was extraordinarily fresh. The portion size was generous, packed with vibrant flavors that truly felt like a celebration of home-cooked meals. To top it off, it was heartwarming to see the chef personally visit our table, making sure everything was up to our taste. Those little touches made my visit feel incredibly special.
As I indulged in the delightful meals, I couldn't help but notice how well-kept and clean the restaurant was, adding to the overall positive vibe. My hearty feast was further complemented by the fantastic service from Kobe and the kind staff, who ensured my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. They've made customer priority their top-notch, and it shows!
It’s clear why Mama Ashanti Waterfront has garnered rave reviews; the ambiance, friendly staff, and incredible food come together to create an authentic dining experience that feels like family. I definitely felt an essence of home cooking redefined here, and I left with my heart and stomach full. Mama Ashanti, you have won me over! I can’t wait to return to explore the rest of your menu.
