When I first stepped into Civet, located at Lana Plaza, Oloitoktok Road, Nairobi, I was instantly enveloped by the cozy, vibrant atmosphere. It was a sunny Saturday morning, and I knew I had come to the right place to indulge in some of the best coffee and meals in the city. ☕✨
Civet is not just a café; it’s a culinary experience that promises to tantalize your taste buds and make your day a little brighter. I started my journey with their renowned civet coffee. Made from beans that are naturally fermented, it’s the kind of brew that not only kicks off your morning but also leaves a memorable taste that lingers. I was impressed to discover that it’s recognized as the finest coffee here in Nairobi!
As I took a seat, I was warmly greeted by Samira, one of the waitstaff who was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Her enthusiasm and kindness only added to the delightful experience I was about to have. She recommended their signature pizzas, boasting a great balance of flavors and freshness, which sounded enticing. I ordered a Margherita pizza for KSh 1,000, and I must say, it was an excellent choice. Each bite was a burst of rich tomato and creamy mozzarella, baked to perfection.
And then there was the chicken dish that several reviews had raved about. Eager to try it, I also ordered the succulent roast chicken for KSh 1,200. As predicted, it did not disappoint! The chicken was tender and packed with flavor; the spices complemented the dish excellently. The quality of the food clearly matched the high standards set by the friendly staff.
One of the things that stood out to me about Civet was their commitment to allergen sensitivity, ensuring that everyone can enjoy their meals without worry. This thoughtful approach is a game-changer in Nairobi’s dining scene! 🌿
While enjoying my meal, I noticed Jamal serving another table nearby. His cheerful demeanor and attentive service echoed the positive reviews I had heard. "Fresh, tasty food and good portion sizes," one patron had remarked, and I could see why. The ambiance here is just as commendable—comfortable seating, warm lighting, and a buzz of happy conversations around me.
To wrap up my visit, I couldn’t resist trying a dessert. Samira suggested their famous tiramisu, which I gladly ordered. At KSh 800, it was a sweet and delightful end to my meal, reminding me that I would definitely be back again soon.
So whether you’re a local or just visiting Nairobi, I highly recommend stopping by Civet for a truly immersive dining experience. You’ll leave not just with a full stomach, but also with the kind of good vibes that only amazing food and service can bring. Experience it for yourself and share in the joy that Civet has to offer! 🌟
