The Kenya booth isn’t a new marketplace, but one that was formerly called “Africa.”
The kiosk serves up traditional Kenyan food and beer, like Kenyan Coffee Barbecue Beef Tenderloin and a skewered shrimp dish.
The booth usually only has a few offerings, but you can’t really go wrong here, especially if you want get a decent portion size and a solid beer.
Speaking of the beer, what is listed on the menu outside the booth and in the festival passport don’t match. The beer being served here is the 81Bay Brewing Co. Congo Pilsner, which we found delicious.
Really, we love this entire booth. That’s right, we recommend everything!
Here’s everything you need to know about the Kenya booth, including reviews, photos, and our must-trys.

Kenyan Coffee Barbecue Beef Tenderloin
Kenyan coffee barbecue beef tenderloin made with sweet potato and corn mealie pap and kachumbari slaw.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Wow. Tender beef, incredible flavors, great portion, affordable price.
Heather: Absolutely fantastic. The beef is great, but the tangy zip of the slaw really adds just the right acidity. Loved it.
Felicia: Delicious, relatively tender beef with tangy slaw. Good portion size that could work for a small meal.
Piri Piri Skewered Shrimp
Piri Piri skewered shrimp with citrus-scented couscous.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Delicious! Nice textures and portion with a slight kick.
Felicia: Spicy shrimp with good flavor and not at all fishy. The couscous is bland but the pepper, onion, tomato mix is flavorful and delicious.
Congo Pilsner
An African inspired pilsner brewed by 81Bay Brewing Co. out of Tampa, FL.
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Light and refreshing. Would 100% order again.
Heather: Smooth Pilsner. Robust flavor. Pairs well with the beef…I really like this booth.
Felicia: Solid Pilsner with a bold flavor. Refreshing.
Allyson: A decent Pilsner. Wouldn’t run back here for this, but it’s tasty.
