Decades Ago
23 years ago, a bouncing baby girl came into this world. She motivated her Mum to want to spend all her waking hours doting on her. Since mom was always in the kitchen whipping up a thing or two to feed one, or plenty early Saturday mornings…Wham’s Cafe was born…”Wham’s” is a play on the little girl’s name “Wambui” (which means Singer or poetically “of song” in Kikuyu). It became a reality in April 1995 at 1454 Danforth Ave, Toronto, Canada🇨🇦 and soon became a sensation within the Kenyans. In fact was known to the African-Canadian community and Torontonian’s in the Greater Toronto Area, with grand catering gigs for the Toronto Film Festival and U of T among many others. Wham’s is a place of art and love that allows for a full time mommy, Chef “girl-ar-dee” deliciousness and is kid friendly…just like kiosks back home, it’s a
family affair where everyone is treated like family and feels at home…
Food
Many ugalis, sukuma wikis, kitoweos, mukimos, samosas, na kadhalika (and please order the latter only on Sundays 😂) were prepared and consumed slurpingly in this cove that was located at 1454 Danforth Ave, Toronto Ontario 🇨🇦Progress
