Indian influence on the coastal city of Mombasa in Kenya is evident in street dishes like gram flour bhajis. Made with fenugreek leaves, onions, and a blend of spices, vegetables, and herbs.

Mombasa’s samosas are different from Indian samosas. They are extra crunchy. We also don’t fluff the filling with potatoes and vegetables. Just mince meat and spices. For real meat lovers.
