As I ventured into the bustling streets of Nairobi, I made my way to a hidden gem located on Chiromo Ln. This tappi merchant had been buzzing in conversations, and I was eager to see if the hype was justified. Upon arrival, the atmosphere was vibrant yet welcoming, filled with the aroma of delicious treats. It was around 3 PM on a sunny afternoon when I stepped inside, ready to indulge.
I was greeted by the warm smile of Michael, one of the attendants who seemed to genuinely love his job. His enthusiasm for the products made the entire experience much more enjoyable. I took his suggestion and opted for their signature tappi sandwich, famous for its generous portions and flavorful fillings.
The tappi sandwich, priced at a reasonable KES 250, was a delicious blend of savory ingredients that left my taste buds tingling with delight. The freshness of the bread paired perfectly with the zesty filling, showcasing why so many reviewers praised this dish. One customer had mentioned it was “the best sandwich they’ve ever had” - a claim I was eager to put to the test!
To complement my meal, I couldn't resist trying their homemade lemonade, available for just KES 100. It was refreshingly tangy and provided the perfect thirst quencher on that warm afternoon. My taste journey didn’t stop with just the sandwich and drink; I also spotted their dessert options while ordering. The chocolate tappi roll, a standout dessert, was, according to reviews, a must-have and I couldn’t leave without sampling it!
The total for my delightful culinary adventure was KES 450, an exceptional value for the quality and taste I received. As I sat down to savor my meal, I noticed how the ambiance contributed to the overall experience. The rustic decor and friendly chatter made it a lovely spot for both solo diners and groups alike.
While enjoying my chocolate tappi roll, I reflected on the time I spent there. The layers of rich chocolate and light pastry were simply divine and a perfect ending to my meal. The reviews I had read about this place were right; it’s a neighborhood treasure that hosts an array of delightful offerings.
