The Hubb Northwood

We had gone for dinner on a Sunday evening. First time going inside the restaurant and we received a warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The service we got was excellent and the food was top notch. 👌🏼 I would definitely recommend it to everyone especially if you like kenyan style food. The food is very tasty and I would definitely go again. 😊

Absolutely fantastic food and even better hospitality. As soon as we entered we felt welcome. We had a jug of passion fruit juice which was nice, if a bit sweet. For starters we had the nundu and the mogo. The mogo had a nice flavour and was a good consistency. The nundu was absolutely fantastic and I really recommend it. Traditionally it's just beef fat, however, as the server explained, you can't serve grilled fat on its own in the UK, so it had beef with it. It was so full of flavour and seasoned perfectly. For mains we had sukama wiki with ugali and charsi lamb curry with naan. The sukama had a lovely flavour and went well with the ugali. I tried the curry with the ugali and it didn't go as well. The curry was spicy but really rich. We had some karak chai to finish the meal and packed up everything we didn't eat. Our server was great - very friendly and knowledgeable - and I got the feel from the restaurant that they love serving people and making people happy with their food.

Went here with high hopes, I wished it to taste like hashmi’s of Nairobi. The restaurant has friendly staff. The chutney selection given to the table was great. The masala mogo was very tasty. The masala chips had the potential to be great but lacked a chilli kick. The possoin chips were tasty but lacked a kick too. The paneer tikka wasn’t for me, lacked a flavour through the paneer. The naans were good. My wife had the chicken mishkaki, but same issue, flavour kick wasn’t there. Meal was very reasonably priced. Will give them another opportunity, as our server said he make the food a lot for spicier. It’s not bad food, just needs some tweaks to the flavour to make it a 4-5 star. Update: had it a few more times, big improvements :)
