On a sunny afternoon in Nairobi, I decided to explore Scarface, a vibrant tappi merchant that had been buzzing with local chatter. As soon as I walked through the doors, I was greeted by the lively atmosphere filled with the enticing aromas of traditional dishes.
During my visit at around 2 PM, I was eager to try some signature offerings. The menu was brimming with options, but I quickly settled on their renowned grilled tappi, priced at just KES 500. A review I had read earlier mentioned that this dish was an absolute must-try, and I couldn’t agree more as I savored the first bite. The tappi was expertly grilled to perfection, bursting with flavors that blended beautifully with the luscious sides of sautéed vegetables.
The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making my experience even more enjoyable. I had the pleasure of being attended to by a lovely waitress named Miriam, who was enthusiastic about not only the food but also the history behind Scarface. She mentioned that they pride themselves on sourcing local ingredients, which adds a unique touch to everything they serve.
Next, I couldn't resist complementing my meal with a portion of their spicy salsa, a delightful accompaniment that cost KES 150. The vibrant kick from the salsa perfectly enhanced the grilled tappi, making each mouthful a thrilling experience. It’s evident why many reviewers rave about it, highlighting its freshness and zesty taste that can brighten up any dish.
To finish off my meal, I decided to indulge in their sweet coconut pudding, available for KES 250. It was light, creamy, and subtly sweet, leaving a refreshing trail on my palate. I felt like I was indulging in a little piece of paradise as I enjoyed this delightful dessert.
All in all, my visit to Scarface was nothing short of exceptional. The staff's friendliness, particularly Miriam’s attentive service, complemented the tasty food, making me feel right at home. The reasonable prices across the menu also stood out, as it allows everyone to experience these culinary delights without breaking the bank. If you find yourself in Nairobi and looking for a place that encapsulates both flavor and hospitality, Scarface is definitely worth the visit.
