During my recent visit to Tamtam's Fresh Seafood & Kitchen located on Mombasa Road in Nairobi, Kenya, I was eager to indulge in their renowned seafood offerings. I arrived around 6 PM, just in time to experience the ambiance as the sun began to set, casting a beautiful glow over the interiors.
As I entered, I was greeted by the friendly staff, including John, our waiter, who recommended several dishes with enthusiastic expertise. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, perfect for both casual dinners and family gatherings.
After browsing the menu, I decided to try the Shrimp & Octopus Marinara with one accompaniment for KSh 1475. The dish was a delightful mix of fresh shrimp and octopus, perfectly cooked and generously served. You could taste the quality of the ingredients – each bite was bursting with flavor. The accompaniment, a light garlic bread, complemented the dish beautifully. Here's a glimpse of my plate:
In addition, I couldn't resist ordering a whole Red Snapper for KSh 1200 per kg, which was recommended by John as the catch of the day. The fish was steaming and perfectly seasoned, which made it melt in my mouth. Paired with a simple side of sautéed vegetables, this dish was not just filling but also an extraordinary value for money.
One thing I must mention is the attention to detail in service. John was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our drinks were topped up and checking in on us frequently. His jovial demeanor truly enhanced the dining experience.
I also took a moment to appreciate the cleanliness of the establishment and the vibrant decor, which adds to the lively charm of dining there. As I savored my meal, I felt like I was dining at a seaside restaurant, with each flavor transporting me closer to the ocean.
If you're looking for a fresh seafood experience in Nairobi, Tamtam's is definitely worth the visit. Whether it's for a casual lunch, a family dinner, or a special occasion, the full flavor of their dishes promises to delight your palate.
Overall, my experience at Tamtam's Fresh Seafood & Kitchen was incredible. It's a hidden gem that truly showcases the best of what seafood has to offer, right in the heart of Nairobi.
