Kafaya’s Kitchen

Heard about this and place through a Facebook group. Boy am I glad I gave it a chance! No set menu, just tell the ladies behind the counter if you want fish, goat, chicken, or vegetarian. The food is beautifully spiced! The goat was tender and juicy and the chicken was incredible. It’s served with a cucumber, tomato, onion relish and a huge side of rice, and salad. Huge food for $ 10??? Count me in! Comforting and delicious I will be back again!

Everything was delicious and Kafaya was pleasant and welcoming to this English only speaker. Fresh ingredients, delicious tilapia and I loved the beans! The hot sauce is great too — quite hot!

My partner and I tried this place out for dinner tonight. We weren’t sure of their hours, as it’s quite hard to find information about the place online. Anyway, we gave it a go around 7pm on a Sunday, and they were open!
A few people were at the counter when we arrived, and there were four women in the kitchen with a couple of babies runnin’ around, crashin’ into things and causing a ruckus (I knew I was gonna like this place). We ordered the chicken and goat (the latter being the favorite, but duh), both prepared with spices, bell peppers, and onions and a heaping side of aromatic rice. Their hot sauce is limey and delicious. You’ll definitely need it if you’re after some jazzier flavors. The food itself is pretty basic, though thoroughly delicious. It’s Ramadan right now, so they had some special meat pies for $ 1 each. We snagged two of those, plus our entrees for just $ 22.
Bae’s already got a secret wager on how soon I’ll suggest we come back, so, you know, maybe we’ll see you there.

My sister has been raving about Kafaya’s Kitchen for weeks. It’s a tiny restaurant run by Somali refugees (you can read about the family here:

I finally got to sample some takeout last night for dinner. I haven’t personally been to the restaurant yet, but plan to go soon. I’m told it’s very small inside, so not a place to go with a large group. There are no menus, just chicken, goat, and vegetarian meals. We got vegetarian and chicken meals. The portions were huge (3 adults and 1 child shared 2 meals), cost only $ 8 each, and come with a can of pop. My sister said the dine-​in experience was much better, with breads and sides. On her previous visit the vegetarian meal had several vegetable accompaniments, while our takeout dinner had rice, pea soup, and salad. The chicken dinner had rice, chicken with onions and peppers, and salad. If you go, ask for some of the white hot sauce!
