As the warm afternoon sun beckoned, I found myself at The Local Grill, tucked away in The Village Market. Having heard rave reviews about this spot, especially regarding their beef offerings, I was eager to dive into this culinary adventure.
Upon entering, I was immediately enchanted by the cozy ambiance, which perfectly balances a lively atmosphere with intimate dining. The welcoming staff, including a delightful attendant named Felistus, approached us with genuine smiles, and their attentiveness set the tone for what would be an incredible meal. It always warms my heart when service is both friendly and professional, and that was entirely the case here.
For our meal, we decided to try the Rib Eye Steak, which came highly recommended. Priced at KES 3,500, this steak did not disappoint. The moment I took a bite, I found it to be extraordinarily juicy and flavorful—truly a meat lover's paradise. My friend ordered the Lamb Shank, and we were equally pleased with its tenderness and rich flavors. It paired perfectly with the mashed potatoes that were creamy and subtly seasoned, making every bite a delight.
One of the standout aspects of The Local Grill is their commitment to quality, sourcing their beef from reputable farmers and adhering to strict production standards. This dedication to 'field to fork' practices has certainly paid off, as I savored the rich flavors and melt-in-your-mouth textures of the meats we tried.
After our main course, we couldn't resist finishing with a dessert to round off our meal. We opted for their special ice cream, which was wonderfully creamy and served as a perfect sweet ending to an already impressive dining experience. As one reviewer described, “the steak was soft as butter,” and I couldn't agree more.
One thing I noticed was that even though some diners found the prices slightly on the higher side, the undeniable quality of the food made every shilling worth it. This was echoed in different reviews, with one mentioning, “The food is delicious. The quality reminds me of the grills in Jo'burg,” highlighting the high standards maintained at this establishment.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a place to satisfy your meat cravings, The Local Grill is a must-visit, especially in the heart of The Village Market. From attentive service to exceptional meals, my experience was nothing short of phenomenal. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu next time. Who knows, maybe you’ll catch me trying the famously delightful ostrich dish that many have been raving about!
