When my husband suggested going out for dinner for our 5th anniversary I said sure (no cooking for me). When he suggested Jambo Grill I said "absolutely" with extreme enthusiasm. This fabulous Indian/African restaurant could be missed if you didn't know it was there and you would never have the chance at the taste sensation it holds. Not much to look at, nothing fancy but what it lacks in glamour it more than makes up for in the food they serve. The taste of pili pili wings is spicy but with such a depth of flavours it makes regular chicken wings taste like sloppy seconds in comparison. I deviated from my regular beef skewers and opted for a goat curry that would knock your socks off! This seemingly small bowl felt like it was bottomless and the smell was only topped by the complex flavours and perfectly cooked meat. The naan bread is fresh, hot and light as air, the way real naan should be. If you can't decide between the regular, garlic or spicy naan, my pick is the regular as the food has more than enough flavours you don't want to miss any of them. My guilty pleasure is the never ending cup of Indian chai to which I add sugar (normally I don't add sugar to my tea). It's subtle spice is instantly relaxing and something I look forward to on all my visits. Now if the delicious food wasn't enough to keep you going the friendly and cheerful owner would be. In a time when people are too busy to even take care of their own businesses it is a refreshing sight to see an owner so involved in his restaurant and taking the time to greet his customers and offer that personal touch that seems to be lacking more and more. Can't wait to try the Butter Paneer next time!
