Visiting Papparoti Brasserie at Broadwalk Mall on Ojijo Road, Nairobi, was an absolute delight! I decided to treat myself to a late afternoon meal around 3 PM, inspired by countless rave reviews from friends and the tantalizing aroma wafting from the cafe.
As I stepped inside, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming staff. Nicole, our waitress, made the atmosphere even more pleasant—her attentiveness and friendly demeanor set the tone for our wonderful dining experience. I was completely captivated by the delightful decor and the cozy ambiance, making it the perfect spot to unwind.
For lunch, I couldn't resist trying their signature Halluomi Sandwich, priced at KES 1,100, accompanied by their famous coffee-caramel-coated bun. The sandwich was exquisite, filled with crisp halloumi and vibrant veggies that melded perfectly together, offering an explosion of flavors with every bite. As one reviewer aptly mentioned, the food portions were generous and satisfying, which added significant value during my visit.
As I indulged in my meal, I couldn't help but admire the attentiveness of the staff. Nicole went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She even offered recommendations, suggesting I pair my meal with their Double Cream Penne. I was intrigued but decided to save it for next time. The environment buzzed with friendly chatter, which created a lively yet soothing atmosphere.
As I finished my meal, the moment I had been waiting for arrived: the renowned coffee-caramel-coated bun. Just as expected, it was divine! Its warm, fluffy interior and perfectly sweet exterior made it a delightful treat. I see why it has garnered such a significant following globally!
The service at Papparoti is indeed top-notch, as echoed by other patrons who praised the welcoming staff, including Carlos and the General Manager who dressed in a red shirt. Each person went out of their way to enhance our experience, ensuring we felt right at home.
In summary, my visit to Papparoti Brasserie was not just a meal but an indulgent experience worthy of a return visit. With its stellar food, incredible service from Nicole, and the enticing range of dishes like the Garden Vegetable Salad (KES 1,450) and Double Cream Penne (KES 1,300), this cafe is a beacon of culinary excellence in Nairobi. I'm looking forward to returning and bringing friends along to share in this happiness. If you're in the area or looking for a delightful dining experience, Papparoti is a must-visit!
