Ordered the coconut chicken curry with basmati rice and the Caribbean goat stew with roti. I loved the curry but wished more rice had been served with it. The goat stew was very aromatic. I also tried the ginger mango lemonade and it wasn’t very mango-y but it was very tart and the ginger flavor was prominent. Very popular place, service was good and I would definitely come back to try more items on the menu.
Finally we got to try this place. We have heard lots of good things about this restaurant and we were not disappointed. The service was great for us. Our waitress was very friendly and understanding. It took a bit of time for the food to come but everything was fresh and the whole table enjoyed the dishes. They have quite a selection so I ended up ordering the Combination Plate, which I could pick three different choices. Overall it was great experience and we certainly will be back to try more.
The goat stew was really flavorful and the roti was fresh! Loved adding some pickapeppa sauce with the goat stew on the side. The jerk chicken wings needed a bit more salt and spicy as they were very mild. The peanut chicken stew in the combo plate my husband got was super flavorful! Service could be improved as our server only came by once and we did not receive enough napkins, water or a spoon initially. Enjoyed looking at the bazaar market next door after dinner! They had a variety of spices, cookbook, African decor and jewelry there.
This restaurant is a bonus delight to Santa Fe. The food is beyond delicious. Staff are very friendly and there is an African Import shop located inside the restaurant. The Hibiscus Tea so delicious 😋 😍. Chef Ahmed was there and so friendly. This is a must for visitors.
I went with my husband to a small trip to santa fe and we were trying to get something new! Finally we found this little African Caribbean restaurant called Jambo! At the begging I was very not sure if I wanted to eat there! We tried some plates but to be honest the food was not perfect! I expect something better! And for the price ufff! Also after eating the food I started to feel sick! I don’t know if was the food but definitely heavy! Some of the things in the plate were good! But not everything! My burger so good I need so say!!! my husbands plate meh!!! For the price we payed for I thing we could get something more delicious!! I will try agains next time! The restaurant smelled like the kitchen! Juts be aware of that! They have a lot of selection of different food!! Next time they may get 4 stars from me!
