One exceptional place with outstanding service. delicious west African delicacies that made us hooked on the spot. We were served by this Lady called Ann and her level of service was topnotch,food was on time and you could tell she was a people's person. we are looking forward to coming back and hopefully be served by her. Well done mama Ashanti for this great West African experience.

Great experience

We had a fantastic group dinner at Mama Ashanti. The server was fantastic, and able to recommend many dishes for us to share. The food was fresh and everyone in our group found something they enjoyed. Would highly recommend!

In my own personal experience, Mama Ashanti dishes was one of the best taste i ever had.

Mama Ashanti restaurant is one of the best place i have ever visited. Their services is awesome and excellent with lots of welcoming service providers. More importantly, i want to recommend "Ann" one of the service providers in the restaurant. Ann is very welcoming, calm, not aggressive and always attend to customers at every point of call for services.

Ridiculously over-priced, not all that great food, with uninspiring service!

Jul 2022 • family

The ambiance at this place is nice, but that’s about it. The food is crazily overpriced and the service is mediocre at best. I had to go look for the waitress to come serve our table. The girl who served us looked like she had more important customers elsewhere. She barely could even listen while seemingly in a rush to go somewhere else. A bowl of boiled rice, countable pieces of bland diced chicken, and a few scattered vegetables would cost you KES950. Anything else is 2-3 times that. Maybe if you really want to just try some west African cuisine, but you are much, much, better off going to a proper restaurant somewhere, pay the same, and get a great dining experience. I wonder if they profile customers, but if you are like me, just skip this place.

Very disappointed 😞

Mar 2022 • solo

Went to the restaurant very hungry almost collapsing, placed my order ,waited for 1 hour only to realise that they didn't post my order so the cook couldn't make the food,very unprofessional supervisor who doesn't know even how to apologise to the client, I regret wasting my time and energy. Kindly train your staff how to do their duties ...very disappointed

Never again

Apr 2023 • business

Just dreadful service. Half an hour waiting for a drink then ignored. Plates and cutlery arrived with a bowl of chilli sauce which was cracked in two places. We ran out of time so we went to leave having been there for an hour. Offered to pay for the drinks which was accepted!!! We then expressed surprise that they would accept payment for such dreadful service. Then followed a two minute meeting with staff and the manager after which it was decided not to charge us for the two drinks. We left.

Underwhelming Experience

Jul 2023 • couples

I had high expectations but had such an underwhelming experience with the service and the food, being my first time there. The chicken wings were chewy. The plantains were semidry and dark like they had been recooked over and over again. The goat meat as well. Staff doing the bare minimum. First and last time there. Meh experience!

The small west Africa!

Sep 2022 • none

Their food will surely fly you back to west Africa. On that particular day I had ogbono soup with amala, it was amazing. The band on Friday evenings is the icing on the cake. Pick Fridays for Family dinners or unwind with a group of friends.

Worst service imaginable

Jun 2024 • family

Visited the Waterfront mall branch. Terrible service. Food took forever. The bill took even longer. Honestly I think they are greatly understaffed. Food was above average but the poor service made it a no-no for me ever again!
