About

Good quality fresh produce at reasonable prices, displayed on racks instead of scattered on the ground. It's well-stocked with everything including cauliflower, and it's a 20-minute walk from town — just remember to bargain on clothes and shoes.

    For starters its the closest market to where I live so that's comforting and convenient. Secondly I just love the fact that its so well stocked...I have never lacked an ingredient I wanted to use to cook even cauliflower and the rest.Thirdly its affordable and its location is just a 20 minute walk from town..which is really great you know...

    Awesome Clothes, shoes bags etc can be found here very easily. Prices may be a little higher than the likes of Gikomba Market but nothing too steep. Always be sure to bargain though
