What’s more, they added: “Our chicken curry is cooked in a slow cooker. Our steak meat is cooked on a designated frying pan [and] cooked to order. We have different pans for non-Halal.”

While their take away menu also states: “Please let us know about any special dietary requirements,” Kenyan street food at the heart of this Kitchen.

“Inspired by Mama’s jikoni (kitchen),” this family-run business, that’s led by Kenyan chef Christine Knights, promises “home-cooked soul food”.
