Dinner at Tusker House

We ate supper at Tusker House, a buffet style restaurant with mostly African food. (They had a few American dishes like corn dogs and mac’n’cheese for the kids.) The buffet area looks like an African marketplace! We enjoyed the curry chicken, mango chutney, seafood stew, couscous, plantains, roast beef, pork loin, samosas, and of course, the dessert table! The warm banana bread pudding with vanilla sauce (their specialty) was very good.
