As I strolled down Chiromo Ln in Nairobi this past Saturday evening, I found myself drawn to the vibrant storefront of a local tappi merchant. The energy was palpable, with the enticing aroma of freshly prepared food wafting through the air. This charming spot truly stands out in the bustling Nairobi dining scene.
Upon entering, I was greeted by a friendly attendant named Caleb, who immediately made me feel welcome. His enthusiastic demeanor set the tone for my experience, and I couldn’t wait to dig in. I had heard raving reviews especially about their signature tappi and a few other offerings, so I knew I was in for a treat.
First, I decided to try their famous spicy tappi wrap, priced at only KSh 450. It arrived beautifully presented, filled with savory seasoned chicken and a plethora of fresh vegetables. The wrap was bursting with flavors; each bite was a delightful explosion! Numerous reviewers had complimented its generous portion size and the perfect balance of spices, and I couldn't agree more.
Next on my culinary journey was their refreshing mango tappi drink, which reviewers claimed was one of the best in the city. At KSh 250, it was reasonably priced and deliciously tangy. The combination of ripe mango with a hint of lime was refreshing and made for an ideal accompaniment to my spicy wrap. After such an enjoyable meal, I could see why this drink was a crowd favorite.
For dessert, I opted for the sweet tappi balls dipped in chocolate, which reviewers had mentioned as a must-try. For just KSh 300, these bite-sized treats were a perfect end to my meal. The crispy exterior gave way to a soft, gooey center, leaving a lingering sweetness that complemented the earlier dishes marvelously.
Overall, my visit to this tappi merchant was a delightful experience. Caleb’s attentive service made the evening unforgettable, coupled with delicious food and reasonable prices. It’s clear that this place is a gem on Chiromo Ln, a must-visit for anyone looking for an authentic tappi experience in Nairobi.
Whether you’re a local or a tourist, make sure to stop by this vibrant spot. It is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., so you can satisfy your cravings at any time of day. I walked away feeling satisfied and excited to return, eager to try more of their tantalizing offerings!
