Hakuna Matata Kitchen and Bar posts liquor license placard on H Street, NE


1128 H Street, NE

Ed. Note: This is the former Cusbah space, which closed in 2020.

The placard for Hakuna Matata Kitchen and Bar says:

“A r estaurant serving east African food. Sidewalk café with 40 seats. Total Occupancy Load and total seating indoors is 38. An Entertainment Endorsement to provide Live Entertainment inside the premises only.”

Their website says:

“Hakuna Matata was born out of a hunger to share the rich culture of Africa through the food!

We are a mix of relatives and friends who became family decades ago, and we love to eat and spend time together. We love to cook together in our homes, but whenever we would want to eat out, we had minimal options for East African food in the District of Colombia, Maryland and Virginia region.

Hakuna Matata Grill brings the delightful taste of authentic East African cuisine to the DC Metrtopolitan Area. Explore a variety of fine African dishes, with an explosion of flavors from across East Africa, India, and Portugal, prepared by our award-winning Executive Chef Paul “Smokey” Ofwono.”

You can see their menu here. Stay tuned for an opening date.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
