Mama Oliech’s Restaurant: Where Fish and Ugali are the Bosses of the Menu, Not the Other Way Around

Welcome to the kingdom of fish and ugali, where Mama Oliech rules the culinary waves! The real superstar here is the whole fried tilapia, fresh from Lake Victoria. It’s so legendary that even the fish themselves are asking for autographs.

And what’s a fish without its trusty sidekicks? Order that tilapia with a side of ugali (the Kenyan maize or cassava-flour staple) and kachumbari (a tomato-and-onion salsa that’s as spicy as a salsa dancer on roller skates). It’s a combo so famous, it has its own fan club.

Mama Oliech’s is so wildly popular that it’s not just one of Nairobi’s best – it’s the kind of place that locals bring their first-time visitors to, like showing off their prized stamp collection (or Mark Zuckerberg in 2016).

 

So, whether you’re a fish fanatic, a fan of ugali, or just looking for a reason to kachumbari your way into a food coma, Mama Oliech’s is the ultimate fishy fiesta. Dive in – the fish are waiting to school you in flavor
