"I visited Kente's with a colleague during my lunch break. She had been raving about the place, so I decided to give it a shot, albeit skeptically. At first glance, Kente's resembles a hole-in-the-wall; I didn't even realize it was a restaurant until we stepped inside. The dining area has a cozy, home-like atmosphere, although seating is limited due to the small size of the space. We both ordered the curry chicken served over white rice, and it was delicious! I'm not usually a big fan of curry, but this dish was very satisfying and the chicken was tender. Plus, the price was quite reasonable. I plan to return and bring my boyfriend next time. The only downside to my visit was discovering that they only accept cash, so make sure to come prepared!"

The taste of the veggie rice alone is worth the trip. Enjoyed my salmon and shrimp lunch, got two whole meals out of it. So good and worth it.

Love the atmosphere, rich in culture and history. The grilled salmon and rice was amazing. I'm Asian so rice is life. Told a friend about you guys.

This place is fantastic! The food is excellent and served in healthy, well-balanced portions. They offer vegetarian options, and the salmon is outstanding. Just a heads up—they only accept cash, so be prepared for that. View menu

Coming Home. I have been a fan of Kente 's for years. I had my first introduction to Vegetarian Cuisine. It was GREAT! I love the cozy, afrocentric atmosphere. As soon as you enter, you are greeted with warm smiles. You feel like you have come home for that long awaited 'home cooked ' meal. The desserts are out of this world. ! There is something there for everyone. Stop by and enjoy ! View menu

Finally got to try this place out! It is a house in a residential neighborhood. The service was very friendly and there were quite a few specials. There were vegetarian dishes though she was out of the wheat gluten one. I will have to go back and try that. I ordered the vegetable curry and green beans. It all tasted very fresh and home cooked. Though my stomach was full, I had to get some homemade cake. Delicious! There was a meeting area to the side though Overall the dining area was cozy (small).

What a fantastic hidden gem! The food is delicious, featuring home-style cooking that is both balanced and healthy. I completely agree with a previous review: if you only focus on the exterior, you might overlook it, but don’t! The ambiance is really welcoming, blending a bit of African and American vibes, making it enjoyable for families. Don’t forget to check out the games and magazines they have on hand. During my first visit, they were playing The Cosby Show, and on my second visit, I got to enjoy the movie Ray. Make sure to try the desserts as well—they're just delicious!
