There's something both comforting and alluring about Swahili food. Its perfect balance of spices teamed up with fresh, simple ingredients provides a burst of flavour that conjures images of the palm-fringed coast of East Africa and the spices that have been grown and traded here for centuries.
Swahili food is a medley of Bantu, Persian, Indian and Arabian cuisine. From savoury dishes like Pilau, Biriyani, Mbaazi to sweet treats like Matobosho and Achari, Swahili meals are divine!
Treat yourself to a delectable weekend of sampling swahili cuisine from the vendors at the Swahili Food Festival this Saturday 7th March at Freedom Heights Mall in Langata from 10:00am-6:00pm.
There'll be entertainment by Taarb singers and you might get a glimpse of some of your fave swahili thespians from Mombasa.
Entry is free!
