“A taste of East African Indian Cuisine”

Kisii is a small village nesting on the hilltops near Lake Victoria in Western Kenya and is well known for it’s local soapstone, which is often seen in African craft work .

Kisii brings to the North East a unique flavour and fusion of Punjabi, Gurjati and African food . This is based on the owners of business being bought up in Kenya with the different cultures and how they have adapted to having traditional Indian food fused with Kenyan African style of food and ingredients since 1910. The fusion of African and Indian ingredients and spices create a taste of rich blended sauces and creating a distinctive flavour of it’s own. At Kisii , we are a family run business with over 40 years of experience in catering. Our unique blend of cuisine is based on traditional family recipes passed down from generation to generation. The food presented is based on home style cooking and is no different to what is eaten at home. All our food is cooked using natural ingredients and does not include any form of additives . Kisii’s style of cooking is based on freshness and we use traditional natural ingredients such as turmeric, ginger , garlic , green chillies, cinnamon and are combined with East African ingredients such as corn meal , spinach , kidney
