The Food – Healthy Home Grown fruits & Vegetables
In the Mediterranean, food is prepared, served and eaten with love and passion, a concept brought to Karibu by Leslie and Kevin. They often visit the markets to buy fresh vegetables, fish and meat as well as grow some of the more “hard-to-get” items in their own organic garden.
The dishes here incorporate readily available fresh ingredients, prepared with a Mediterranean influence, as well the inclusion of some traditional favourites – the menu changes with the seasons and the inspirations of Head Chef and Owner, Leslie.
