As I stepped into Scarface, located in the heart of Nairobi, I was immediately welcomed by the warm atmosphere and the delightful aroma of freshly prepared tappi. It was around 2 PM on a sunny Saturday afternoon, and the vibrant buzz of conversation added to the lively ambiance. What struck me first was how inviting the space felt, a perfect blend of comfort and casual elegance.
One of the standout features of Scarface is undoubtedly their dedication to quality. I decided to try their signature tappi rolls, which were highly recommended by several online reviews. Priced at just KSh 250, these rolls are packed with flavors that dance on your palate. The blend of spices used, along with the fresh ingredients, sets them apart from the typical offerings I've encountered elsewhere.
While I was savoring my meal, I couldn’t help but overhear another customer rave about their spicy chicken tappi. Intrigued, I decided to ask the attendant, a friendly young man named James, who graciously shared his recommendations. He mentioned that this dish is one of their bestsellers at only KSh 300. He mentioned how the soft tappi is paired perfectly with marinated chicken that has just the right amount of zing. Inspired by James’s enthusiasm, I vowed to try it on my next visit.
What made my experience even better was the attentive service I received from James. He was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also genuinely passionate about the food served at Scarface. After I enjoyed my meal, he checked in on me, asking about my thoughts on the tappi rolls and sharing a bit of the history behind Scarface.
As I wrapped up my meal, I couldn’t resist trying their traditional herbal tea—perfect for washing down the rich flavors of the tappi. At just KSh 150, the tea was a delightful blend, fragrant and soothing, rounding off my experience perfectly. I noticed that many patrons were opting for the tea, which seemed to be a favorite.
In summary, my visit to Scarface in Nairobi was nothing short of delightful. The combination of affordable pricing, exceptional service, and delicious offerings made this place feel like a hidden gem. With delicious items like the signature tappi rolls and spicy chicken, plus an inviting ambiance, I can see why Scarface has quickly become a go-to spot for both locals and tourists.
