Earlier today waiting for Uber chicken to deliver eggs 🥚 for breakfast @amanimaranga@TwendeUshago here’s my ushago story. So covid happens and for a whole year I’m working remotely from my little home office
Because people are going to ushago I thought I would bring you guys up to speed about my ushago so far...now I have upgraded to bird watching, but chicken, I'm still eating. It's still taking shape, hoping to soon get a plunge pool.
As a cloud kitchen turned restaurant, I think Ayeyo have something great here and I hope this results in expansion to other areas soon👌🏾

The ambience was more than ideal. It makes for a great lunch/dinner spot with friends or a chill date night with your SO. Even with a full house, it didn’t feel cramped & no one was shouting over the other. #nairobieats
Service here was good. As they have just opened and I went on a day that had quite a number of people, service wavered a bit but not to the point of frustration for sure. Our waitress would check in from time to time to make sure we had everything we needed. #nairobieats
I had a taste & wasn’t ready for the amount of milk the cake is drowned in😮💨 It’s very strong in flavour, you can’t miss the saffron but the lactose intolerance in me couldn’t handle the milk so that may not be a 1st choice for me. But perfect for y’all who are God’s favourites🥹
So much goodness that definitely needs to be had with actual chai. Kwanza chai ya @AbigailArunga would pair perfectly with this cake😋 Love the size as well, you can eat it all at once or save some for later👌🏾
@MissNyairo got the saffron milk cake because she loves saffron😊
Now on to dessert - that Chai cake you guys??😍 Superb! So yummy, sweet & rich in those exact flavours you expect in a chai flavoured cake. I could taste the nutmeg, the cardamom, cinnamon, even a little bit of black pepper maybe? #nairobieats
Felt like the beef strips were a bit thick compared to how they were described to us, not as flavourful & quite over cooked. I understand Somalis usually grill their meat to excellence levels not even well done but for me it was over done & that made the meat quite tough.
That sauce tasted like bbq sauce meets sweet & sour but better👌🏾
The Bisteeki was my least favourite of everything we tried🙈 Once again, great portions and you can have it accompanied with fries, rice or pasta and steamed veggies or a salad. #nairobieats
The Fish. 1st of all - that was one big piece of fish, you’re definitely getting your money’s worth here. That fish was so good! It was so juicy, I don’t know if it’s grilled or baked but it was well done and the sauce they basted it in was perfect. #nairobieats
It was my 1st time trying the chicken suqaar & anjeero. It’s basically sautéed chicken cubes, also flavoured to the gods🤤 Served with anjeero (Somali version of injera). The chicken was really good, flavoured perfectly, I’d have liked it to be a bit more spicy but that’s just me
The Ayeyo rice & hilib is the GOAT dish here😁 All puns intended😅 It can do no wrong, because that super soft goat meat rich in flavour, surrounded by that Somali style rice, some vermicelli and hot sauce… is a meal after my own heart, so good! #nairobieats
The one page menu was much appreciated, we don’t need to be reading novel menus pls. It was simple & straightforward listing some of my faves (y’all know I live for their hilib😋) and some newbies I was excited to try. #nairobieats
