As I stepped into Civet, located at Lana Plaza, Oloitoktok Road in Nairobi, Kenya, I was instantly greeted by a cozy and vibrant atmosphere that felt welcoming. It was around 10 AM, the perfect time to kick start my day with a rich cup of their renowned coffee. With the blend of amazing coffee and irresistible Mediterranean cuisine, I anticipated a delightful culinary experience.
I ordered their specialty coffee, brewed using civet beans, which are naturally fermented by the civet cat. The aroma was electrifying, and the first sip was nothing short of sensational. The reviews had mentioned how Civet’s coffee was uniquely crafted and now I understood why — it was exquisitely smooth and bursting with flavor.
Feeling slightly peckish, I couldn't resist trying their freshly made pizza. The crust was perfectly baked, and the toppings were fresh and generously applied. I was delighted by the flavor combinations that came together harmoniously, making it a truly memorable dish. Many reviews spoke about the restaurant’s commitment to allergen sensitivity, and I appreciate such attention to detail in today's dining experience.
One aspect that stood out during my visit was the outstanding service. I had the pleasure of being attended by Samira, who provided exceptional service and had good product knowledge. She made sure I was satisfied with my choices and even recommended pairing my pizza with their delightful house salad. Her kindness really enriched my experience and is something I’ll remember fondly. Another server, Nicole, received praise for her excellent service too — her dedication really adds to the warm atmosphere of the café.
As I relished my meal, I noticed many other guests enjoying their dishes. One patron raved about the succulent chicken, highlighting the tasty flavors and generous portions they experienced. It's clear that Civet has mastered not only coffee brewing but also diverse menu offerings.
The ambiance of Civet is simply fantastic, creating an inviting space suitable for both a casual morning coffee and a full dining experience. I could see why so many reviewers described it as a great location with a fantastic vibe. It feels like the ideal spot to enjoy a meal, meet a friend, or just unwind with a book.
My overall experience at Civet was nothing short of delightful. I came for the coffee and ended up indulging in their delicious food, all while enjoying superb service from a team that genuinely cares about their customers. I cannot recommend this place enough! If you're in Nairobi and looking for great taste and good times, make sure to visit Civet at Lana Plaza. I left with a full stomach and a happy heart, eagerly planning my next visit!
