If you are ever in Nairobi, specifically at Lana Plaza on Oloitoktok Road, make sure to stop by Civet for an experience that tantalizes your taste buds and cozy vibes that keep you coming back for more. On my recent visit, I arrived bright and early in the morning, eager to start my day with their renowned coffee.
The first thing I noticed as I stepped into Civet was the inviting atmosphere. The cozy setup and vibrant decor enveloped me, making it a perfect oasis to unwind. I ordered a cappuccino, which brought the perfect balance of rich espresso and creamy foam, instantly igniting my senses. At around KSh 300, it was an affordable indulgence that set a great tone for the day.
While sipping my coffee, I had the pleasure of being served by Samira, whose exceptional customer service truly enhanced my experience. Her product knowledge was impressive; she guided me through the menu with genuine enthusiasm. She recommended one of their Mediterranean dishes, which I couldn't resist.
I opted for the grilled chicken pita, which arrived looking as delicious as it sounded. Fresh, tasty, and with decent portions, it was a delightful choice! Jamal, another wonderful server who checked on my table, made sure everything was to my liking. His friendly demeanor added to the already incredible ambiance. This made my time at Civet feel personal and special.
As I savored each bite of the grilled chicken wrapped in warm pita, complemented by a vibrant salad, I understood why this place comes highly recommended by so many. The Mediterranean flavors were a fresh take, and with each bite, I was delighted by the taste explosion. The experience was made even better by a refreshing lemonade I ordered, priced reasonably at KSh 250, which perfectly complemented my meal.
Throughout my meal, I could see the buzz of joy from other diners. Patrons around me raved about their meals as well. The ambiance was electric, yet cozy; a perfect mix for gatherings or solo visits alike. One diner commented, “I have been there; everything is perfect—food and drink in particular.
