Riziki Swahili Grill — Restaurant in Columbus

Will. Come. Here. Every. Time. I'm. In. Town. Periodt.

Wanted to try something different and saw that this restaurant has 5/5 stars and I have never been disappointed by a 5 star rating.

And goodness, Riziki Swahili Grill, did not disappoint. Let me set the mood for you. A small intimate setting with about 6 tables. No music playing, only the subtle sounds of the kitchen and the soothing sound of familiar family banter.

Skumawiki: 10/10 This freshly made kale was cooked to perfection. Again, maybe the best skuma I've had! A must try.

Goat Stew: 9/10 the goat was tender, and the stew was delicious. A little more curry and spice would level this dish to 10/10 for me.

Ugali: 10/10 Perfectly made Ugali that was soft and playable. Made for a perfect bite when scooping it with our skuma and stew.

Ginger Juice: Delicious and fresh with that kicked up spice you're used to when having ginger juice. Lovely!

Mango Juice: freshly squeezed and not too...
