There is only one classy restaurant in Kenya that serves authentic indigenous meals: Amaica, in China Centre, Ngong Road. There you will get Luhya food, even the most bitter herbs, y'know the ones that make you impotent if you eat too much.

I hear there's another one near Hurlingham, I'm still searching.

Other African cuisine is just a little better, with a Nigerian restaurant in Valley Arcade, Ethiopian ones all over the place, a Ugandan one somewhere upstairs on Biashara Street, there used to be a Somali restaurant off Koinange St - near Delphis Bank but it is closed.

I think greater appreciation for kenyan food, authentic or not comes as a result of living in a foreign country.

Ndengu is mung beans and is readily available in indian stores. Together with all kinds of lentils like red lentilts, chick peas (flour used for bajias), etc

IMO parathas are nasty too much oil when you cook them, I prefer to make a batch of chapatis and freeze them, I just pop them in the microwave when I need it. You'd never know it was frozen.

There is a place on Kimathi Street call Kosewe's which is above colpro if you can remember it. They serve fantastic Jango cuisine. Also there is a restaurant at the Ambassadeur Hotel (Ambasada) stage that serves Kyuk food even the brown uji is served in a calabash. And last but not least there is swahili dishes ini south b which has fantastic coastarian dishes. I'm drooling just remembering.

I can attest to the nice food served at Kosewe's. I think it's a fantastic place. I was so shocked the last time I was there, to see one of my pals order mo moleny. They have it all.

I'll try that place in south B and bring back report next year.

@Sanaa, so where are we all meeting up for dinner and drinks?
