Chef Najati of Namash Swahili Cuisine
Originally from Somalia, Chef Najati came to the United States in 2008. She learned to cook at age 12 from her mother, who also owned her own food business. Najati spent her childhood selling her mother’s cooking and eventually her own on the streets in Kenya.
Najati wanted to start her business, Namash Swahili Cuisine, to share with the Salt Lake community her experiences of being home. She prides herself on great customer service and serves authentic Somali and Kenyan family recipes. Najati recommends trying the chapati, chicken curry, and coconut beans!
