Last review of the day:)

📍Hero Restaurant - Trademark Hotel, Village Market

I’ve been to Hero a couple of times between last year & this year & always had a fantastic time there😃 #nairobieats
The food was great, the service was on point and the place just has great vibes! I had prawn tempura (quite large ones) which I feel had way too much batter tempura wise but all in all a good fleshy prawn on the inside… #nairobieats
I also had some very soft, flavourful lamb chops that was paired with a tangy sauce and some fries:) I know it’s a sushi place but I don’t eat sushi so didn’t try any but @KipronoLeting did and he absolutely loved it👌🏾 #nairobieats
Can’t remember the name of the roll but it had papaya in it and the theatrical presentation was👌🏾 #nairobieats twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Tried one of their many homemade ice creams for dessert - the roasted maize ice cream which literally tastes like mahindi ya barabara with a touch of cayenne that surprises you at the end of every spoonful. Love this ice cream! #nairobieats
Forgot to add a pic of the lamb chops:) #nairobieats
I really like that the waiter serving your table signs and gives you a postcard with a superhero on the cover, again nice touch:) Reagan was such a delight, I don’t know if he’s still there but if he is msalimie mkienda hapo🤗 #nairobieats
The prices are so steep though🥲 Don’t go there on a whim please lol, go prepared with money to spend, the cheapest thing there is probably the aji garlic fries that go for 500/ #nairobieats
On my last visit here a few months ago, I tried their crispy chicken Bao buns & the rest of the party had sushi… the Bao buns were too dry for my liking😬 Made up for it with that yummy ice cream for dessert again🙈 #nairobieats
Overall Hero is a fun culinary experience, would love to go back and try more of their menu items:) #nairobieats

Rating:
Food:⭐️⭐️⭐️(.5 for that ice cream:)
Service:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ambience:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Let’s do brunch first:

📍Mode Cafe - Kilimani

This place is pretty new, possibly 2 months old? They went really simple on decor: muted tones & an open plan space which makes it seem bigger than it is, there’s some outside seating but majority is indoors. #nairobieats
The menu is quite limited, which may concern some but for what they offer I think the menu fits. We had some coffees, the Chicken and Waffle (950/), Shakshuka (1200/), Apple Crumble French toast (900/) and Prawn tempura (1300/) #nairobieats
The chicken & waffle comes with scrambled eggs on top, I don’t eat eggs so had that substituted with mushrooms. I enjoyed this a lot mostly because of the combination of flavours (sweet + savoury is always my jam), the fried chicken was delicious! #nairobieats

Since we’re on that fine dining tip, lemme end this review session with one more fine dining restaurant🙃

📍Botanica - One Africa Place, Westlands

For those who don’t know, Botanica took over from Honey & dough which we can all agree was really disappointing. #nairobieats
They rebranded and I feel like they’re going for a more gastro/fine dining route & it’s working for them from the experience we had.

They have quite a vibrant menu, I had the chicken curry bao buns as a starter while my lovely date @DushyKuria had the duck breast carpaccio
For mains I had the fish & chips, she had the Nasi Goreng & for dessert, they made her a special not for carrot cake plate for her birthday while I had the Latte sundae:) #nairobieats

Review #3

📍Fifteen Rooftop - Mbsa Rd

Been here a few times, & the fact that I keep going back means I must like it 😁 I really love their lemon pasta! I’m not a pasta person usually but this particular dish… I’m happy to have over & over again. I added prawns😋 #nairobieats
My friend had the grilled salmon, accompanied with baby potatoes and some vegetables:) We also tried the fried chicken bites for starters and their truffle fries that are quite addictive (but also cost 400/ so… order it once lol) #nairobieats
Then @jaytakeapic mentioned their butter milk chicken one time and I immediately had to try it, let me tell you Maina…😮‍💨 That dish is the bees knees🤤 So so good! Probably that’s what sold the most at @_wangwe’s bday because it’s just so yum! #nairobieats

Okay, review #2

📍Beit é Selam - Westlands, behind the 9 west building.

Had heard such mixed reviews of this restaurant but nilienda kujaribu still & it’s quickly become a place I love😊

#nairobieats Image
Beautiful beautiful place. It’s not been fitted to be IG aesthetic, it’s a restaurant that’s been outfitted to give off an almost exotic ambience, really feels like you’re in a whole different place when you enter there. #nairobieats
Very Swahili/Arab theme decor and the courtyard is so softly lit giving cozy vibes😊 I highly recommend this for a date night location👌🏾 #nairobieats

Let’s start with a newbie:

📍Slate Kitchen & Bar

Upon getting here, the service was the first thing I noted. There’s parking attendants at every point of the parking lot to direct you (it’s kind of confusing finding the entrance so I appreciated the assistance) #nairobieats
The hostesses are welcoming and reservations are very necessary - the place gets full quick on Fridays and weekends.

The outfitting my goodness🤩 I love good interior decor & these guys have taken such detail in everything from the furniture to lighting, spacing… #nairobieats
wallpaper, wallpaper texture… even the sheers along the windows that make the space feel more intimate than it would had the windows been bare… this may not matter to most but I really love a place that not only looks great, but feels great too. Ambience was 💯 #nairobieats
