Jambo Cafe

Want something a bit more exotic for your group? Head to Jambo Café and they'll put out the welcome mat. Jambo means "hello" in Swahili. They can take small groups with little advance notice. A heads- up at least an hour's ahead of your arrival is appreciated. They've even taken groups of up to 50 on short notice. At busy time you may have to wait up to a half-hour or even more for a table. The eatery won't do separate checks, but will split a check by the number of people at the table. Chef/owner Ahmed Obo, a Kenyan native, mixes the flavors of his homeland with those of the Caribbean. The result: spicy and unique dining at reasonable prices. The eclectic menu features dishes Obo watched his mother cook as well as favorites such as jerk chicken, Moroccan Lamb Stew and Caribbean Goat Stew.
