I watch a lot of YouTube & the trend at the time was trying African food. So I went on Google and searched for the closet restaurant near me that serves African food. I found The Big 5 African Cuisine, it was about a 30 minute drive, so we get there and bought one of everything! The owners/emplowere very nice and welcoming. Now for the food, it was very good and very flavorful, I would definitely be making another trip to The Big 5!

New favorite lunch spot in Lancaster! The staff is over the top friendly and I learned a lot about African food during our conversation. For the price their portion sizes are out of this world. And lastly the food is ridiculously good! Each bite of food is perfectly flavorful and full of delicious ingredients and spices. This is the type of food I would go far out of my way to get. Highly recommend trying the samosa’s.

Delicious home style Kenyan food. Order over the counter food is hot and fresh. Goat curry, rice and spinach was very flavorful! Service was great too! Be aware that the food is on the pricier side. The goat, spinach, and rice shown totaled $27.00. Not terrible but comparing to similar restaurants with over the counter style ordering and similar cuisine it should be below $20.00. Recommend giving it a try!

Yes, I'm always interested in different cuisines. Being the foodie that I am , a friend recommended this small, Kenyan owned restaurant in a neighborhood in Lancaster! Firstly, their only open Fridays & Saturdays from 11:30am-7pm. Secondly, there's no parking. They have tables but it appears that most of their business is take out! So, there we are to try Kenyan inspired cooking to take home for dinner. There is a steam table with all their offerings in 2 size plastic containers! I ordered one portion of everything: beef stew, chicken stew, pilao rice, futu, roasted potatoes in sauce & stewed cabbage in sauce. In addition 4 meat samosas & 2 Kenyan sausages! $73.50 Maybe enough food for 4 people! OK, first impression is that the taste & spice levels are Indian in style! Not good, not bad! Just I was expecting some different flavors other than from the Indian subcontinent! It's worth a try if you want to try something different but not...

Decided to try Big 5 on Plum for dinner for the 3 of us tonight. We pretty much got one of everything and brought it home. Glad we did as it was a lot of food that we could portion out and try everything. It was all yummy. There's probably another 4 meals leftover.

The pic has beef stew, pork stew, chicken stew, beef samosa, Kenyan sausage, rice, cabbage, and not in the picture chipati bread and fufu. The samosa and the pork stew had a bit of a kick which was yummy as well. I'd have to say it was medium heat as it did build as you ate it.

All of it was delicious. I would be happy with just the chipati and beef stew. Who am I kidding. I'm a carb lover. Chipati all the way.

Nice to find a new unique place with...

Wow!! I have to start with wow. I opened the door to this establishment and was greeted by 2, very friendly owners. My first time here, I was impressed with the daily menu options. The portions were enough for 2 people. But, the flavors, the seasonings, the tender chicken pieces were beyond my expectations. This place was recommended “on a whim” by a friend. It is a “will return” place. Why doesn’t Lancaster, PA know about this “food gem”? The place is friendly. But the...
