A little pricey but nice atmosphere and great East African cuisine. I enjoy my ugali with lentils and sukuma wiki. The place is right in the middle of DC thus parking is an issue for week days visits.

It was ok. I was invited by a friend for a fund raiser. I donated, ate a little food, listened to some reggae music, and left. Parking was difficult in the area, as usual. I met nice people and had a good time with my friend.
