As a self-proclaimed food enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for hidden gems in Nairobi, and my recent visit to Barbie Test at Westlands Market, Woodvale Grove was nothing short of delightful. Stepping into this charming merchant, I instantly felt the warmth of the local atmosphere, enhanced by the friendly staff who were eager to assist.
During my visit around 2 PM, I had the opportunity to try a couple of their signature offerings. One standout was the Cheesy Tappi Delight, priced at a mere KSh 150. It's always a gamble trying something new, but I was absolutely blown away by the rich, melted cheese that oozed out of the crispy tappi. The reviewers raved about how fresh and flavorsome it was, and I couldn't agree more. The combination of textures was simply irresistible!
Speaking of staff, I must give a shoutout to Ken, who served me during my visit. He was not only attentive but also shared recommendations that enhanced my tasting experience. Ken's knowledge of the products made me feel valued as a customer.
Along with the Cheesy Tappi Delight, I also decided to indulge in their Spicy Chicken Tappi which was priced at KSh 200. The reviewers had mentioned its bold flavors, and they were spot on. The chicken was perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection, providing a smoky richness that harmonized beautifully with the spices. Paired with a refreshing drink, my meal was truly satisfying.
As I enjoyed my meal, I couldn't help but notice other customers around me savoring their choices. It's clear that Barbie Test has cultivated a loyal following. Many patrons appreciated the affordability and generous portions, making it a great spot for both casual lunches and a quick dinner after a long day. Hearing snippets of conversation, I gathered that both locals and visitors alike frequent this establishment—a testament to its growing reputation.
Before wrapping up my meal, I took a moment to sample their Mango Tappi Shake, which stood out for its refreshing flavor. This delightful drink, priced at KSh 120, was the perfect way to cool down after the spicy delights I had enjoyed. The blend of ripe mango and creamy goodness made for a delightful conclusion to my experience.
Overall, my visit to Barbie Test was just what I needed. The combination of a warm atmosphere, delicious tappi, and friendly service from Ken made it a memorable outing. Whether you're in the mood for something cheesy, spicy, or refreshing, Barbie Test is definitely the place to be in Nairobi—especially at Westlands Market. If you find yourself in the area, don’t miss the chance to discover these incredible flavors!
