How it started
A craving that turned into a kitchen
Kitchenette began with a simple, stubborn craving the smoky party jollof, the peppered asun, the deep comfort of pounded yam and egusi. The food that means home.
So we built a kitchen for it in Nairobi, then a second one. Today we cook those flavours fresh across Lavington and Syokimau, seasoning everything the way it should be generously, and with no shortcuts. Guests tell us the jollof tastes like party jollof and the soups taste like a proper Lagos restaurant. That's the whole point.
Whether you dine in, grab takeout, or order to your door, you get the real thing bold, fresh, and unmistakably West African.
