During my recent visit to Garam Masala by Chef Dayal located in Victoria Plaza, Nairobi, Kenya, I was swept away by an authentic Indian culinary experience unlike any other. It was a cozy Thursday evening, and I was eager to try their renowned dishes.
Upon entering, I was greeted by warm smiles and an inviting atmosphere. The ambiance was perfect, striking that ideal balance between vibrant decor and comfortable seating. I couldn't help but notice that the restaurant was bustling with fellow food enthusiasts, each seemingly enjoying their meals as much as I hoped to.
I placed an order for the Goan Fish Curry priced at 1350 KES, as I had heard great things about it. To my delight, the dish arrived promptly, presented beautifully, with generous portions that promised the satisfying meal I was craving. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, showcasing the spices Chef Dayal is illustrious for. It was evident that only the freshest ingredients were used.

Alongside my main course, I couldn’t resist trying the Fish Tikka Masala as well, offered at 1400 KES. This dish was equally brilliant in taste, capturing the essence of traditional Indian recipes while presenting it in a modern way. Each bite was a testament to the world-class chef, Dayal, who crafts unique recipes bursting with flavor.

What truly made my experience memorable was the attentive service provided by the staff. One attendant, whom I believe was a manager, approached my table to check in and offered fantastic recommendations. He clearly was passionate about the food and made me feel valued as a customer. It's rare to find such dedication!
The feedback I overheard from other patrons only confirmed my feelings – the combination of friendly service, an open sitting area, and an amazing ambiance made this restaurant a hidden gem in Nairobi.
Value for money is an essential factor for me, and at Garam Masala, it’s clear that you're not just paying for a meal; you're indulging in a culinary journey crafted by talented hands. With the quality of food and service provided, I'd say it’s worth every Kenyan Shilling spent!
As I finished my meal, I looked at the menu and was intrigued by the Baigan Bharta priced at 1100 KES, making it a must-try on my next visit. I could easily see myself returning to explore even more of the delightful offerings.
If you’re ever in the vicinity of Victoria Plaza and are in search of exceptional Indian cuisine, I highly recommend Garam Masala. The combination of amazing food and excellent service ensures a delightful dining experience that will leave you coming back for more!
