" Tried the brunch menu and it was absolutely delightful! The veggie omelette was packed with flavors, especially with the spices in the masala potatoes. The owners were so welcoming, and it felt like home. Highly recommend stopping by for brunch here! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a delightful experience at this café! The hospitality was great, and the food is mostly authentic. The Nyama Choma was a standout, grilled to perfection! A little on the pricey side, but I believe it's worth it for the quality you get. Overall, a solid dining choice! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a gem! I love the fusion of Indian and African flavors. The beef Akni was flavorful and filling, paired with their delicious chai. The staff were attentive and the vibe was upbeat. I can't recommend it enough for anyone in the area looking for quality cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a cute little café! The food is wonderful; the mixture of Indian and African dishes is delightful! The burgers were perfectly grilled, and the fries had a unique twist which I loved! A great place for family dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoy this café! While the food is tasty, I think there’s room for improvement on the authenticity side. The samosas were good, but the lamb curry didn’t have the depth of flavor I anticipated. I appreciate the effort, but I hope they can refine their recipes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a regular at James Street Café for a while now, and I must admit, the food has been a bit hit or miss lately. While I adore their butter chicken and the fresh naan, my last visit found the curry a bit bland for my taste. Service was friendly but a tad slow. I hope my next visit improves! " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my parents here for dinner, and we all enjoyed it! The menu is diverse, with intriguing options that cater to many tastes. The butter chicken was the highlight for me, though my dad preferred the grilled platter. Friendly staff too; they made our visit a pleasure! " (*Curated Review*)
