Walking into Civet at Lana Plaza, Oloitoktok Road, Nairobi, feels like stepping into a warm embrace. The cozy atmosphere is immediately inviting, a backdrop for the wonderful journey my taste buds are about to embark on. I visited on a sunny Saturday morning, ready to indulge in what I had heard was the best coffee and dining experience in the city.
As I settled down, the delightful scent of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air. I couldn’t resist the urge to order their specialty coffee, made from civet beans that promise a unique and rich flavor. The coffee, priced reasonably, captivated my senses with its bold taste and smooth finish. It's no wonder patrons rave about it! One reviewer mentioned, "their coffee is made from civet which is fermented naturally," and I wholeheartedly agree—this brew truly stands out.
Next up was the food. I decided to try one of their famous pizzas and it did not disappoint. The crust was perfectly thin, with just the right amount of crispness, topped with fresh ingredients that burst with flavor in every bite. As I savored each slice, I could understand why someone exclaimed, "they make the best meal considering allergen sensitivity"—Civet truly caters to a variety of dietary needs, making it a great choice for everyone.
What made the experience even more enjoyable was the outstanding service provided by the staff. I’d like to give a special shoutout to Samira, who was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Her kindness and professionalism were consistently highlighted in other reviews, and I can see why—she made me feel welcomed and well cared for during my visit. Another commendable server, Nicole, was praised for the succulent chicken dishes, which I unfortunately didn’t get to try this time but am eager to taste during my next visit. I might have to follow up on Jamal’s service, as one customer raved about his friendliness as well.
The ambiance of Civet is just as impressive as the food and coffee. With its vibrant decor and welcoming vibe, it’s the perfect spot to unwind or catch up with friends. I overheard other diners expressing their satisfaction, “Great location. Great ambiance. Great food.” And I couldn’t agree more!
In conclusion, my experience at Civet was nothing short of delightful. From the amazing coffee to the delectable pizza and the top-tier service, every moment spent there was enjoyable. I highly recommend Civet for anyone looking to treat themselves to a fantastic meal in Nairobi. Trust me; it’s worth the visit!
