Scenes from Lamu! It has been awhile since we posted one of these, but with Spring in full tilt, we thought we'd go another round. Kids and comic books seem to be universal as we all love a good super hero story. Photo by the amazing Lyn Avery

Who doesn't love a kebab? Though Jambo Cafe isn't cooking them up on an outdoor grill like they do for Kenyan street food. We too have succulent and tasty kebabs. Try our Kenyan Marinated beef tenderloin tips with herb garlic saffron potatoes and sauteed haricot verts topped with a pomegranate sauce. This is a great gluten free dish.

What would you choose? Did you know that our combo plate can be omni or vegan? We have seven items from which to choose three: Chicken curry, goat stew, lamb stew, peanut chicken stew, tofu curry (vegan), chickpea berbere stew (vegan) or curried lentils (vegan) with rice and roti.
