Last Sunday afternoon, I decided to visit Afi Steaks & Platters in Kikuyu, and wow, what an experience it turned out to be! As a steak lover, I was eager to dive into their premium cuts of meat, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint.
The moment I stepped inside, I was welcomed by a warm atmosphere that set the tone for a fantastic meal. The service was impeccable, thanks in part to Elizabeth, our delightful waitress, who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Her attentiveness made us feel well taken care of throughout our visit.
I started my meal with their renowned Afi Pork, which, as many reviewers have mentioned, is simply extraordinary. The juicy, well-seasoned meat was incredibly tender and bursting with flavor. It truly stood out as a crowd favorite, and I could see why it earns rave reviews. Not only was it delicious, but the portions were generous, making it a terrific value as well.
Next, I couldn't resist trying the Ugali, which was described by others as "extraordinarily finger licking"—a claim I can now personally vouch for! The dish paired perfectly with the pork, elevating the entire meal and giving it an authentic Kenyan feel.
And of course, I couldn't leave without sampling one of their famous platters. My friends and I ordered a mixed platter that included a variety of grilled items. The arrangement was not only visually appealing but also a delightful combination of flavors that left everyone at the table satisfied. At only KSh 2,500 for such a feast, it was definitely worth every shilling!
One highlight of our visit was the outstanding customer service. I was impressed by the collective effort of the entire staff. Even the cashier demonstrated remarkable professionalism, returning an overpayment with a smile—something rare in many establishments today!
The ambience at Afi Steaks & Platters deserves a mention of its own. The place radiates a friendly yet sophisticated vibe, making it a perfect spot for both casual dinners and special occasions. I particularly enjoyed the romantic Valentine’s theme they had going on, complete with soothing live saxophone music in the background.
If you're looking for a place to enjoy a hearty meal in Kikuyu, I wholeheartedly recommend Afi Steaks & Platters. With exceptional food, friendly service from dedicated staff like Elizabeth and the delicious Ugali and Afi Pork to look forward to, it's a culinary journey you won't want to miss.
Be sure to make a trip to Afi soon—you'll definitely be returning, just like I can't wait to do!
