Best samosas ever! And the service was incredible! I felt like I was part of their family. Will definitely be coming back.

If you haven’t tried The Tribe yet you are missing out! This is our 2nd time since they opened and it has been amazing both times. The Samosas are to die for! The owner is extremely kind as well. So glad to have this delicious restaurant in the neighborhood!!

We ordered two goat curry , one chicken stew, two beef samosas, with collards, cabbage and bread. Cost $85 and was enough to split evenly for four adults, would highly recommended!

OMG!!! The TRIBE is the place to go to cure your cravings! I am a Kenyan and I can tell you it’s amazing having a taste of home. The portions are very generous, great customer service, clean and very polite. I was served my Mandix and he is such a wonderful soul! I’m coming back with friends for sure #TukoPamoja

Best Samosas I’ve ever had! I also ordered the Curry goat, pilaf rice and greens. The flavor was so on point! Oh my goodness, I never had Kenyan food before and let me tell you, The Tribe did not disappoint! I started eating the food and was instantly like let me take a picture real quick because I had to tell y’all about this hidden gem . I spoke with the owner, who is a Navy Veteran and his staff, and they were all very pleasant. I will definitely be back!

This place has the best Kenyan food in America, and it just took me back home to my mom's cooking! The portions are incredibly generous, and the flavors are unmatched. I'm willing to drive another 25 minutes just to have another taste.

Absolutely delicious Kenyan food! We got the Ugali Greens with pork and the Mukimo and Cabbage with beef along with a side of samosas. Everything was so tasty and flavorful and came in large portions! We will definitely be back to try more off the menu. They’re super friendly and the remodeled front area is very welcoming. Takeout only as it’s very small with no dining area.
