Jambo Grill - East African & Indian Fusion

“ Jambo Grill is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. Now, the food—wow. Every dish was bursting with bold, authentic flavors. The grilled meats were tender and perfectly seasoned, and the sauces added just the right kick. I highly recommend the mishkaki and the butter chicken—both were out of this world! Portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and made with care. Whether you're a fan of East African cuisine or trying it for the first time, Jambo Grill delivers a culinary experience that’s both comforting and exciting. I’ll definitely be coming back! ”

“ This was our first time trying East African and Indian cuisine, and we didn’t know what to expect. So, we asked for a recommendation—one from the Indian category and one from the African category. We ordered the Samaki fillet and Chicken curry, which was recommended by the guy who seemed to be the owner. I personally enjoyed the chicken curry a lot. It was definitely different from the butter chicken curry I'm used to, but I can't quite describe the differences. The tilapia was a bit disappointing, as it seemed overcooked and was quite tough. I ended up enjoying the sides more than the tilapia, which were masala fries and pili pili corn. Overall, it was an interesting and delightful new cuisine experience. I recommend going with a group so you can try a variety of dishes. ”

“ We ordered the beef keema chapati. It is two small and flat items. It tasted ok. It was $12 which was a rip off for the size and taste. I would not recommend. The butter chicken was pretty good. It’s not your traditional Indian butter chicken. It was more like a butter chicken and chicken curry fusion. It felt lighter. We enjoyed it. The dal makhni was awesome. I loved the naan as well as it was light but crispy. It was perfect. I did feel that the portions were slightly small. ”

“ I’ve been ordering from Jambo Grill ever since I moved to Canada over 10 years ago, and I can honestly say I’ve never had a single complaint. The food is consistently amazing, flavorful, authentic, and prepared with care. What’s truly remarkable is that even after all these years, the taste has never changed. It’s like a comforting piece of home with every bite. The customer service is just as outstanding. The owner, Mr. Nash, is incredibly humble and welcoming. No matter how busy the place gets, he always finds the time to check on customers and make everyone feel valued. The staff are equally warm, polite, and attentive a rare quality in today’s fast-paced restaurant world. I feel truly lucky to have this hidden gem right in my neighborhood. Thank you, Jambo Grill, for a decade of delicious meals and exceptional service. Here’s to many more! Mohammad and family. ”

“ We’ve been here twice and absolutely love the food and service. The stars of the show were patra, okra masala, butter chicken and prawn biryani Can’t wait to try out more dishes on the menu! ”

“ This is a MUST GO!!! Every time we have out of British Columbia visitors, we always bring them to this restaurant! So far, not one person has said anything negative about this place, and this also includes a lot of different ethnicity background individuals, with a variety of different taste buds! I can go on and on and on about their food, their service, their amazing ambience, the location, free parking in the back, and on and on and on. If you like authentic, good quality, food for reasonable price, and an established restaurant — then, you have to come here! I am really confident that you will not be disappointed! ”
