Never tried Kenya food before and it was amazing! Love the Rosti and we will definitely visit again in the future!
Delicious food in ample portions and friendly staff, all at a reasonable price.
What more could you ask for.
Absolutely fabulous place 😍😍😍
I enjoyed the food so much, and cannot wait to visit again! I highly recommend this place to everyone. If I can give more than five stars I would. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I enjoyed my trip to Knights Kitchen but I hadn't booked and I was lucky to get a seat. The group behind me were turned away.
There's a risk that you'll see a cafe off Leith Walk that's open late and want to pop in for a snack. Knights doesn't work like that.
You can get side dishes here or platters. The platters are too big for one person. Trust me; I tried.
Knights Kitchen isn't an "on the way home from the pub" cafe. Knights is a "couple of friends sharing food" cafe.
I really liked the African food served. I had to use Google a lot to research unfamiliar foods. In the eating; all tasty!
First Tip; Knights serves cocktails! Nice ones.
I don't know if cocktails suit the food ambience but they definitely fit the relax with friends and social food.
You can do dessert to. No menu, not when I visited, but just a sorbet (mango and passion fruit) with ice cream (cardamom and chilli) combo. I was about to explode having tired to eat the whole platter solo but I'm glad I made room for this.
Another big plus, as important as that amazing dessert combo, are the staff. Despite it being the very end of a long Friday I was met with smiles and attentive service.
Second Tip; the toilet is great here. I almost didn't want to reveal that, didn't want the cafe to deal with looseekers in off the street. The toilets are clean, spacious enough to change a child and equipped to do so.
Overall? Thumbs up.
First time trying Kenyan cuisine near Leith walk
The rice meal is alright but the star for me is the ‘Rosti’ that is placed under the meat and vegetables.
It’s crispy at the edge and soft in the middle which give me mixed texture in my mouth seasoned with the sauce on top.
Worthy to try 😉
Fabulous lunch – I had the goats cheese rosti, my partner had the chicken and coconut curry, both were delicious!! We’ll definitely be back!
Hearty, nice food. Had lunch and dinner here. Rosti with goat's cheese for lunch was very good (the Rosti is effectively a pancake); the bean stew was pretty plain. We had a Village platter for dinner - that was nice as well. Good vegetarian options.
First time here today and it was absolutely amazing. I eat out a lot but rarely post a review... which says a lot about how great this place is! Brilliant service from the charming Benji and food that was just fab. I went for the rosti but everything else looked great too. Thanks for making my Sunday!
I've been eating at Knights Kitchen ever since it was a little stall in the Grassmarket. I love this place. The food is always perfect and the owner and staff are absolutely lovely. I can't wait to eat there again.
Had a brunch chapati with boerwors sausage and it was phenom. Depth of flavour and well made. Chapatis themselves were fantastic as well.
