I'm not sure what East African food has to do with Southern or Creole cuisine. Was there some major migration from the Horn of Africa to Louisiana that I am unaware of?
I did go to the original Afrikando restaurant. It was small and quaint and full of delicious smells. I thought it was no longer. I was saddened. Then as I was driving down Rainier I saw it. I was smiling. I haven't gotten there as of yet but do plan on going this summer. I loved the grilled Tilapia and mango ice cream. Their house salad was great too. My mouth is watering I better go soon.
I'm looking forward to visiting the new location after all these years.
