tamu means delicious in swahili

Karibu (welcome) to TAMU Grill and Catering, where we take pride in bringing the food flavors of Kenya to Minnesota. We are essentially a catering operation with a storefront and open three days a week (Fri-Sun 3pm to 8pm) to the public. We are a family-run operation in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of South Minneapolis. We occupy the former Viking Bar, a turn-of-the-century iconic brick building famous for hosting live bands. The century-old concrete tiles and tin ceiling, some of which we saved, carry plenty of history and memories for many Minnesotans. We carry the ever-transforming history of the West Bank forward by becoming the first immigrants to occupy the former Viking Bar. We invite you to visit and savor our food while experiencing a piece of Minnesota's history.
