Visited Mama Ashanti with my husband for some Nigerian food and enjoyed the food. We ordered the fish pepper soup, the Jollof rice and I think the chicken fried rice. The pepper soup was a bit different from what I'm used to but was nice and hot. The Jollof was also good however it had a strong tomato base. So if you like your food peppery or spicy, make it known while placing your order. The chicken fried rice tasted nice and came with a lot of onions in it. If that is something you may not like, also request for the chef to hold the onions while making your order. All in all, would definitely visit again.

A very nice restaurant to eat west African dishes mainly Ghanaian and Nigerian. Food is tasty and portions are great (for those with capacity to consume more). Prices are reasonable for the great service they provide far away from the typical chop bar or buka.

An amazing place to chill out as a couple or friends. So silent though they play rnb music in the background but it is still conducive to have conversations. The staff are so warm. We were served by Martha, a courteous and jovial lady. She went all her out to make sure we enjoyed the evening. The delicacies are well cooked, if you don't enjoy spiced food let them know because most of their foods are spiced.

Amazing first visit for lunch! Relaxing environment, welcoming and courteous staff, and delicious food and fresh juices! Return visit scheduled.

Went here for the West African culinary experience! We were definitely not disappointed. The food was flavorful!

Beautiful scenery.. it's like 'West Africa' in East Africa. There are indoor and outdoor eating areas. And the outdoor area is literally a garden (a well lit garden at night).. you could rent a space for a birthday party or just hangout with family. There's a play area for kids too.

Excellent Service. Had chicken on a skewer accompanied with plantain..Mouth watering. Within Mama Ashanti is clothing shop selling West African fabrics and shirts.. Ordered one

West african taste. Beutiful

Great ambience. Great service. The food is amazing.

Yes! Please come here for great West African food, loved the food and the servers! Also the decor of the restaurant was very nice and the parking was easy too! Love Nairobi and this restaurant adds to its charm

Great delicious food! It was up to expectation. I however did not get my dish because it was unavailable at the time of my visit. The kids made good use of the playground. Lot of space and place to sit and enjoy indoors or outdoors. Restroom well kept. Recommended!

Great eatery in the Lavington area. Well priced. Ambient environment. Good service by staff. Ample parking. Drinks variety on offer. Portions could use a little increment though for this otherwise median price points. Light background music except on Fridays when there's a live band. Recommended.

Spicy variety of foods! As a Cameroonian, it’s refreshing and comforting to find restaurants that tease and soothe my taste buds. Been here 5 times now and I’ll keep coming back🤩😋 A lot of outdoor space, play area for kids, indoor space too, green green environment. Love it?

This food was outstanding. I told the Chefs in persons I love their cooking. My family and friends were happy. I am from the USA and will be back for this wonderful cuisine Thank you once again. Yours truly Comedian and Actor.JW

I love this place, always ready to deliver my order.

Nice terrace restaurant, could improve some more on food quality. We were there with my wife for her office send off lunch , they chose it because of the terrace restaurant and for Ghanaian food. But the food was all dry no stew (rice, fish, goat, chicken, Jollof all dry). I also don't think it was Ghanaian, Jollof is Nigerian and still wasn't upto my expectations. Secondly the lady waiter insisted on serving the guests herself controlled portions so you couldn't choose what you preferred. But I love the setup all the same. Thank you

Mama Ashanti's my place to go any day I want to take delicious dishes!

Loved it, excellent customer service, good food, airy serene, clean cloakroom.

Very good and located at a convenient location.

Mama Ashanti the place to be. Good delicious food

Awesome food and very friendly staff.

Beautiful. I enjoyed the goat pepper soup.

Food still great unfortunately service is becoming poorer

Love their customer service. Will surely visit again

The food is amazing....the meat and the fish are to die for.....the ambience is amazing and the live band is always rocking

It is a good place and very relaxing

For the best decor in a serene envy and Ghanaian delicacy, the real deal, take it from me (Ghanian by association) lol

One of the best places to enjoy West Arican cuisine in Nairobi, Kenya.

The food is great, very tasty especially if you love African food. There's lots of space for small groups and large groups. There's also space for kids to play. Would recommend.

Great roast goat

The food was extremely tasty.. Excellent service. Totally loved it.

I first had take out from Mama Ashanti and promised myself to go have a dine-in experience. First off the food is worth every darn pretty penny. Hands down the most authentic West African food I have had! Second, they have best waitstaff I have ever encountered in East Africa. Third, the ambience is so mellow. Only downside is the limited parking space. Well, nothing much can be done about that. So consider taking a cab to and from.

Visit for all Nigerian cuisine and fashion

Nice place for eats

Very wonderful delicious West African food

Good food and good service. It gets crowded over the weekend and some food items take a long-time to be ready. We ordered the chicken in peanut sauce with pounded yam. We also ordered whole fried tilapia with ugali and spinach. Will definitely return.

African dishes, available particularly west african

The restaurant is set in a converted house with a beautiful garden...great place to have events...interesting menu as requires some familiarity with West African food...ask the waiters what they'd recommend

Great place to enjoy good, sweet different cuisine

Beautiful

What stood out for me was food. Absolutely tasty and amazing. I highly recommend you try out the food here. The portions are good and finger licking. The service is also efficient.

Awesome ambiance and service !

Great food and ambiance

Good services. Delicious food

It's was the best place ever for lunch

The place has a beautiful gardenic setting with great and marvellous service. And the food....wow wow wow! I love the place and would always return there every time I am in Nairobi, Kenya. Great Scene, Great Service and Marvelous food.

I had an easy access to the place thanks to Google maps for clear and short directions keep it up

Great food, service slow

A place to relax

I was here today meeting a client. All-time best.beautiful Ambience that never releases you for home. Loved it.

Good place, perfect ambience, but their staff are very slow

Excellent customer service, nice food

Cool place relaxed

Very good place offering very tasty west african dishes. Their taste took me back to Gambia, Senegal and Nigeria for a while. Good staff, wonderfull play ground for kids.

Good food ...

Such a serene and beautiful restaurant. Ample parking, spacious and organized seating spaces. The food is delicious 😋 and the drinks tasty and cold as your ex's heart. Service is quick and exceptional and the menu has a variety of items at a cost which, in my opinion is quite friendly. I focused on my meal and forgot to uhm take some photos. I'll be sure to take some next time.

Great food.

The services are great

Harassment from parking attendant

The food was not that pleasant. The ambiance is however good

I loved the experience

Great food, lots of green (serene), nice kids play area, BUT 50% more expensive than similar restaurants in the neighborhood (Nyumbani, Mummy Dada, Treasure). Try the fried goat meat and pounded yam plus Zobo juice. Food for two plus one drink cost me $53, damn!

The live band is awesome! The service can be better ...

Awsome west african dishes, n customer service on point

Finally great to find a place there Ghana food is prepared and served within a timely manner and the taste is superb. Sweet aroma and the customer service is a first class. Thanks to Anne who was constantly at our service. Soon to be back there.

Currently my best, the food is to live for !!! Amazing, I guess I'll be a regular. Also Subscribe to my YouTube channel I'll soon be posting more on food 'Ayala Dorcas'

Always a pleasure to devour the Western cuisines n cocktails to chase

Kwame was such a nice host/Director. Made the queens feel at home. The food was delicious. Thank you, we shall return in the not too distant future.

Horrible, horrible, horrible service! I sat for well over an hour without service. Waiters and waitresses kept passing by my table without a word. I finally flagged down a waitress who was busy rushing elsewhere and asked to get my meal to-go. That wasn't the plan. I meant to dine in. But after an hour+ of waiting in the cold, I opted for take away. I really hoped for a good experience but that wasn't the case. Please improve on your service!

Great food!! The okra soup and fufu was perfect!!! The fresh pepper added so much flavor. I was lacking my fingers all the way!

The ambiance and beauty of Mama Ashanti is inviting. And I had the catfish peppersoup and zobo drink, so delicious. The staff are very polite and attentive. I highly recommend.

Wow, forgot to take pictures of the place. Honestly, a lot better than Mummy Dada's, cosy and beautiful ambience with formal and informal spots to pickup your West African cuisine. Love the barbecue goat meat.

Venue/Garden 4/5 Nice relaxing atmosphere Band 4/5 Nice music and great voice Food 2/5 Egusi was nice, Diced Chicken with fried rice was 🤮 disgusting, sorry but the rice was not even fried, it was boiled and watery Service/Management 0/5 Absolute disaster, waited 50 Minutes for drinks, no one taking our food order despite 4 staff standing around, no one felt responsible for our table. When waiter was informed that the fried rice was not fried but boiled, he started arguing with us and insisting the rice was fried. Really?? 😂 I expect mote from this place. Online reservation request was never replied to, I guess getting customers is not a priority for this business

Great African food. I particularly loved the Plantain and goat meat stew, as well as the milk shakes. The Egusi (Melon seed) soup was delicious but it was too dry when I tried it, they could improve it by adding a little water.

Food was fresh and very tasty....gooooood food! Service was excellent too. Menu is diverse. Back after two years and will definitely be back to explore the menu.

It was home away from home the staffs were nice, they made me felt I'm still home in Nigeria play all sort of the 9ja song f that of Ghana

Your best plug for West African meal in Nairobi. Excellent service and you get to enjoy live band time.

This was my first time in Nairobi with my sis and we needed to eat nice African meal and Mama Ashanti was recommended. The ambience was cool,coupled with the lovely weather. Beatrice the waiter attended to us was also very friendly and she recommended the signature "Ashsanti goat meat".We enjoyed every bit of the meal and also quite affordable.I forgot to mention the order came on time as we came in famished.

This place has lots of outdoor space. It feels very relaxing and time flies by! Service is great and food did not take too long to prepare. Our server was happy to help us pick our meals since we weren't very familiar with West African cuisine. It was a nice experience. There are other options if that's not for you, so if you're in a group, everyone should be catered for.

My favorite restaurant in Nairobi, Kenya. Although this cuisine is mainly west african cuisine, a good restaurant with good food is still a good restaurant with good food regardless where it is. Ive came here many times before. It always the first restaurant and last restaurant I visit when I visit nairobi. And already it's been a handful of times. Highly recommend!!

First time at Mama Ashanti, we were celebrating my son's 18th birthday. Had lovely food. Service was excellent, atmosphere peaceful. Food to look for Joloff rice and plantain. Goat meat and fish was also very good. Found the notice in the gents really funny. I definitely aimed really good.

Their service is nice and they're very warm and welcoming. The food is delicious. You should try their jollof Rice. Also parking space is available.

The food and ambience was nice but the customer service was so bad. Especially when one female waitress brought me a drink I hadn't ordered and on raising the issue to her, She only offered her sorries and refused to exchange it with the appropriate drink. It was until later when I informed a different waitress that the issue was resolved and we got the right drink.

A friendly atmosphere with a variety of seating options. Children's playground. The food is very very good, especially the egusi soup. My only negative is our serving of chicken in groundnut sauce- a drum stick and the back carcass- for 2k+ ?!!

Perfect for Nigerian cuisine!! Atmosphere with both outdoor & indoor seating areas. Quiet & cool

Good fried goat. Had a giant helping of plantains which were spot on. We were seated in one of their private meeting rooms and it was so comfortable. I really felt like we were having dinner at home. Great spot to eat.
