An intimate ambiance, RnB music, open bandas and cozy couches welcomes me to Le Palanka, an African restaurant in Nairobi on a weekday evening. Seems like the outside seating area is a favourite spot for many. It is full.
I’m here to try a Senegalese dish that is only available at this restaurant in Kenya. The fish and rice dish goes by the local name Tiebu Dien (pronounced Tiebu Jen).
