Alando’s Kitchen – Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

This place has created quite the buzz.  Located in the relatively sleepy town of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, they have managed to garner a loyal following.

Alando’s Kitchen offers great food and there have been some rave reviews of the sukuma wiki and the African peanut soup.  Located in Quakertown in the Q-Mart, it rounds out the ethnic food offerings in the shopping center.

They are currently open and also offer homemade Achari sauce and homemade Pili Pili Sauce. Their catering and event planning offerings include regular catering, personal chef services, and carryout/home delivery. Smart business moves on their part.

The owner, Anyango, went and got an MBA and has obviously benefitted from the education. To learn more about this restaurant, visit their website.  If you are in the vicinity, visit them for a great homecooked meal and let your mind wander to your grandmother’s house.

John Oyaro, Hampshire, United Kingdom

John Oyaro has been making the difference in the cuisine at Marwell Hotels in Hampshire, UK. His food is the reason people keep coming back, and their way of associating with a true African experience at this Bespoke Hotel. He previously worked at Arkles Wine Bar and Restaurant, and was instrumental in creating tasty lunch and dinner menus, working keenly with local suppliers and producers to serve imaginative, well priced dishes and exciting daily specials.

He also just welcomed a new addition to his family in January (a little girl named Chloe) so his hands are full. Read more about him here.
