Just went to flavors of East Africa and had a great time filled with great flavorful food and a happy belly. The place itself had humble decor but was very clean, bright and inviting. The service was phenomenal and very much appreciated the server topping me off with my to go ginger turmeric drink. I ordered Kuku curry chicken with rice and eggplant all delicious. The amount was a very generous portion hence have enough for dinner and maybe even breakfast. The restaurant was able to accommodate one gluten free patron and another who’s dairy free & pescatarian. Hehe. Thank you Flavors of East Africa. You did not disappoint. Also, thank you to my Reddit friends who recommended this place! :)

I’ve had Flavors of East Africa at the Hillcrest Farmer’s market and at their brick & mortar location. Both excellent. The jerk chicken, lentils, plantains, lamb, egg plant, and rice were all gluten free. As I celiac I haven’t had issues with their food. I recommend a sweet & spicy jerk chicken combo.
