Last weekend, I found myself wandering the vibrant streets of Nairobi, and I decided to pay a visit to Soko Letu, a local tappi merchant that has been garnering quite a buzz in the city. Being a lover of tappi, I could hardly contain my excitement as I approached the store nestled in a quaint corner offering an inviting ambiance.
Upon entering Soko Letu, I was immediately greeted by the sweet aroma of freshly made tappi that wafted through the air. The cozy atmosphere made me feel right at home. It was around 2 PM, a perfect time to enjoy a late lunch. As I perused the menu, I was thrilled to see a variety of tappi options, but I ultimately decided to try the classic Tappi with Chicken Stew, which was priced at a mere KSh 450. The affordability of the meals is definitely one of the highlights noted by many reviewers.
As I waited for my order, I couldn't help but notice the cheerful interactions between the staff and other customers. One attendant, named Juma, stood out with his exceptional service. I had read a review mentioning his friendly demeanor and attentive nature, and I can confirm that he made my experience even better. When my meal arrived, the presentation was delightful, and the smell was irresistibly mouthwatering.
When I took my first bite of the Tappi with Chicken Stew, I was blown away by the tender chicken and robust flavors of the stew that complemented the tappi perfectly. The amount of care that goes into preparation was evident, and I could see why many patrons rave about Soko Letu’s meals. Another popular item that I overheard customers raving about was the Vegetable Tappi, which pairs well with a variety of stews.
To quench my thirst, I ordered a refreshing Chai at just KSh 100. The chai was rich and creamy, a perfect companion to my meal. The combination of good food and service made my visit truly memorable.
As I wrapped up my meal, I felt a sense of community in the place, with laughter and friendly chatter surrounding me. It’s evident that Soko Letu is not just a place to grab a quick bite; it’s a spot where locals gather to enjoy delicious food and good company. I couldn’t help but feel grateful for discovering this hidden gem in Nairobi.
If you ever find yourself in Nairobi and on the hunt for delectable tappi at an unbeatable price, I highly recommend visiting Soko Letu. You won’t be disappointed, and who knows, you might even meet Juma, who will ensure your dining experience is one to remember. I left the store feeling fully satisfied and excited to share my newfound favorite spot with others in the foodie community.
