As I strolled through the lively streets of Nairobi last Saturday afternoon, my stomach began to growl—a sure sign that it was time for a tête-à-tête with delectable food. Without much thought, I found myself walking into Harleys, a charming tappi merchant renowned for its vibrant ambiance and tantalizing offerings.
The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by the warm, inviting atmosphere that Harleys is known for. The place buzzed with chatter as locals and tourists alike relished their meals. I approached the counter, and the friendly attendant, who introduced himself as Alex, welcomed me with a genuine smile and a tempting menu in hand.
After perusing the menu, I decided to try their famous Chicken Tappi (KSh 450). This dish has received rave reviews, and I was excited to see what the hype was about. Alex enthusiastically described the dish, explaining how it’s perfectly marinated with spices and served with a side of fresh salads and tangy dips. I could hardly resist!
As I waited for my order, I couldn’t help but notice the vibrant artwork adorning the walls—a reflection of Nairobi’s rich culture. Moments later, my Chicken Tappi arrived, and I was instantly captivated by the aroma that wafted through the air. The chicken was grilled to perfection, tender and juicy, with just the right kick of spices. Each bite was a celebration of flavors, and I found myself savoring every morsel.
Alongside my tappi, I ordered a refreshing Mango Lassi (KSh 220). The sweet mango blend was the perfect companion to the savory dish, creating a delightful balance that kept me coming back for more. I couldn't resist the urge to take one more sip—it was simply divine!
With the meal wrapped up, I took a moment to soak in the vibrant energy of Harleys. It was heartwarming to see families and friends enjoying their time together over a great meal—a true testament to the establishment’s charm. I glanced around and saw another table raving about their Vegetarian Tappi as well. It seems that Harleys was accommodating everyone’s palate, drawing customers from near and far.
As I prepared to leave, I made sure to thank Alex for the fantastic recommendation. His attentiveness made my meal even more enjoyable. If you’re ever in Nairobi and seeking a combination of good vibes and great food, Harleys should be on your list.
In summary, my visit to Harleys was an unforgettable experience highlighted by top-notch service, flavorful meals, and a lively atmosphere. Don't miss out on the Chicken Tappi and Mango Lassi if you find yourself in the area!
