So I move clear across the country and what do I find basically walking distance from my new home but a Kenyan place! I haven't had Kenyan food in literally years and now I've found a favorite!
First up, samosas, basically a large, stuffed "pastry" fried and filled with tasty things. If you've ever had Indian food, you can get similar things there. I'm fairly certain there's a vegetarian option, but we had the meat ones; I could easily just eat a whole meal just of those. Delicious!
