What customers say?

“ The fish was good, a bit spicy if you don't like spice just get the goat or chicken, with ugali. The Malta reminded me of going home so that was a nice touch. ”

“ I have ordered takeout twice here in the last two months and have not been disappointed. The first time I ordered the Grilled Tilapia Fish. It was a whole fish perfectly marinated and came with onions and a hot chutney. Let me tell you the chutney is hot but once you have it, it is irresistible. The fish was well cooked and tasted excellent. Last week we ordered the Grilled Whole Chicken. This also came with the onions and chutney. Karibu Grill is a hidden African gem in the NE. I would recommend this restaurant. ”
