Last Saturday, I decided to treat myself by visiting Civet Café, located at Lana Plaza, Oloitoktok Road, Nairobi. The moment I walked in, I was enveloped in a cozy, vibrant atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. I visited around noon, hoping to indulge in a delightful lunch after a busy morning.
Civet is known for its incredible coffee and Mediterranean & Italian cuisine, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! One of the standout items on the menu is their famous pizza, which came highly recommended. As I savored each bite, I understood why. The combination of fresh ingredients and the crispy crust made it simply irresistible. The prices were refreshing as well; you can enjoy a generous pizza for just KES 800, making it a steal in Nairobi's food scene.
While I was there, I had the pleasure of meeting Nicole, who provided exceptional service throughout my visit. She was friendly and had impressive knowledge about the menu, making recommendations that truly enhanced my dining experience. Nicole mentioned that their chicken is a customer favorite, and I couldn’t resist trying it out myself. I ordered the succulent chicken dish, which was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. For just KES 1,200, I felt I got great value for such high-quality food.
The reviews I had read prior to my visit did not lie! Fresh, tasty food is exactly what you get at Civet, paired with decent portion sizes that left me feeling satisfied without being overly stuffed. To complement my meal, I indulged in their specialty coffee, made from civets naturally fermented. It was a unique experience that added a fun twist to my meal. The rich flavor of the coffee was a perfect closure to a delicious lunch.
Lastly, I simply must mention the stunning ambiance of Civet. With art adorning the walls and a calming yet vibrant vibe, it makes for a great place to either relax or catch up with friends. Even during a busy lunchtime, the atmosphere was inviting, truly enhancing the overall experience.
If you're looking for a place that combines amazing food, excellent service, and an unforgettable atmosphere, I highly recommend giving Civet Café a visit. They are located conveniently for anyone in Nairobi and are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Thank you, Civet, for a wonderful afternoon!
