Last weekend, I had the pleasure of dining at Mawimbi, nestled at the corner of Harry Thuku Road and Kijabe Street in the stunning Longonot Place Hotel Apartments. I visited during the afternoon for their renowned Seafood Brunch, and I must say, it was an experience to remember.
The atmosphere was simply captivating. The moment I walked in, I was enveloped in an ambiance that combined elegance with a vibrant coastal charm. As I settled at my table, I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful décor and the lively buzz of conversations, amplified by the delightful music playing in the background. It felt like the perfect escape!
The highlight of my meal was undoubtedly the seafood dishes. For brunch, I indulged in an exquisite platter featuring succulent lobster, perfectly grilled prawns, and a generous serving of crab. The quantity was impressive – I genuinely doubted whether I could make such a feast at home for the same price, even if I brought seafood back on the SGR! The flavors of each dish were enhanced by meticulously curated drinks that paired beautifully; I was especially impressed by the ceremonial cacao, which was deliciously spiced and perfectly balanced.
What truly set Mawimbi apart was the service. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making sure all my needs were met without delay. I felt truly pampered during my visit. Special shoutout to the exceptional team, including a wonderful attendant who made the experience even more enjoyable!
Mawimbi also hosts lively events, like Seafood Sundays and live music on Fridays, which add to the charm and excitement of dining there. During my visit, I noticed that many guests were enjoying themselves, some even bringing tourists to experience the culinary delights of Mawimbi - a testament to its appeal! The combination of good food, harmonious music, and great company, as one reviewer noted, certainly made my dining experience very enjoyable.
As I left Mawimbi with a satisfied palate and warm memories, I couldn't help but think that I would definitely return. The drinks were refreshing, the food was great, and the ambiance was nothing short of magical. For anyone in the area looking for a luxurious yet laid-back dining experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Mawimbi seafood!
