About Us

The Shujaa Restaurant and Grill

WHERETHESPIRIT OF AFRICAN CUISINE MEETSTHE AMERICAN DREAM

Our Origin

"Shujaa" is the Swahili word for Warrior.

To us, a Shujaa represents the resilience within all of us—the immigrant spirit, the hustle to survive in a new environment, and the courage to stand tall and succeed. The Shujaa LLC is more than just a place to eat; it is a warrior movement dedicated to leaving a mark on our community through the universal language of food.

Our Mission: A Taste of Home

Savor the Journey. Your Way

Located centrally in Tacoma, WA, our mission is simple: to provide an authentic taste of home for Kenyans and Africans living in Pierce County, while introducing bold, new flavors to our American neighbors.

We bridge the gap between continents. Whether you are part of the diaspora craving the nostalgic comfort of East African cuisine or a local foodie ready to “educate your palate” with robust, fresh dishes, The Shujaa Restaurant & Grill is your destination.
