Anyway, Simba’s Grill serve East African dishes (the owner is from Kenya). As it was our first time trying this cuisine, we were very excited!Kuku choma: I ordered the BBQ chicken breast, which came with saffron rice. It was so delicious! The chicken was juicy and flavoured with many spices and herbs. There was a very generous portion too. In addition, the saffron rice was fluffy and fragrant. The portion was HUGE!
I haven’t returned in years, it is nice to see that the restaurant continues to serve consistently well made dishes.
On this occasion, we ordered the 3 beef kebab on skewers and the halibut curry special. Both dishes were sizeable but most importantly both were nicely prepared. Flavours were on point and they provided a number of great selection of sauces and chutneys to accompany the our dishes. A sweeter blueberry, slightly spicy mango, tamarind, coconut for the halibut curry and also a hot sauce.
The service was quick and hospitable, the owner came around to check in to see how we were enjoying our food and suggested we tried the coconut to accompany the halibut curry, nice addition.
We will definitely be back but won’t wait for years before we do so.
A taste of Africa that hits the spot!
Truly a unique place for aromatic dishes.
We stopped by on a Friday night, no need for any reservations as they welcome walk ins.
The smell of the food going to surrounding tables stimulates the senses in preparation of what to expect.
We ordered the chef’s special which was served on a huge platter with grilled chicken tenders, 2 beef skewers, 2 lamb skinless sausages, 2 fried fish, spinach curry & sides including saffron rice, salad & freshly grilled naan.
The spinach curry was delicious & not what you expect. It’s not covered in sauce but rather sautéed in a curry. Cooked very well & goes extremely well with the naan.
Another highlight was the crispy fried fish. Packed full of flavour, like a sweet & salty taste.
My recommendations- spinach curry with naan & fried fish. Will definitely be back to taste more of the menu!
