CHIMANO’S RESTAURANT SHUTS DOWN

Sauti Sol’s Chimano has talked about shutting down his restaurant Kez’s Kitchen. Speaking on Sol Family, Chimano said he open the restaurant with his friend Phidi Mwatibo, and before covid, their business was booming however they had close the restaurant.

“In 2018, a couple of friends and I decided we would build a restaurant or have a restaurant. It was for one of my friends, as a memory for her mom. If covid had not happened, it would have been a different story. It just started like a joke and then she said, “okay guys I found a space,” yaaah!

Once the space was found, I was lucky I had some money that I could invest. Everything came together and became Kez’s Kitchen. A cute little spot that was on Arboretum drive. We were doing really well, we were shut down almost every weekend, the restaurant was closed for private functions like family and corporate events. It just became popular by word of mouth.  No one really went on social media screaming about it.

When covid hit, we had to closed it, I can say I tried, I invested and I went all in. The dream is not dead. Once we get a proper footing, we will reopen.”
