Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting AL-HAMDU, a well-known tappi merchant located in the vibrant city of Nairobi. As a fan of unique culinary experiences, I was excited to explore what this establishment had to offer. After hearing rave reviews from friends and online sources, I decided it was finally time to see it for myself.
I arrived around 3 PM, just in time to beat the weekend rush. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, filled with the pleasant aroma of freshly prepared tappi. The staff was incredibly friendly, and I immediately felt welcomed into their cozy space. One attendant, Fatima, stood out with her warm smile and attentiveness. She promptly greeted me and guided me through the menu, which was filled with a variety of tappi options.
After some deliberation, I decided to try the Tappi Bites, priced at just KES 150. These small, flavorful treats are made with a mix of spices and served with a tangy dipping sauce. I can definitely say they lived up to their reputation! Each bite was bursting with flavor, and I appreciated the perfect texture - crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I could see why numerous reviewers have praised AL-HAMDU for their exceptional quality.
Next, I couldn't resist trying their Signature Tappi Platter, priced at KES 600. This delightful assortment includes a variety of their most popular tappi, allowing customers to sample multiple flavors in one go. My platter arrived beautifully presented, and each piece was distinct and delicious. The spices used were well-balanced, accentuating the unique characteristics of each type. The freshness of the ingredients truly set this platter apart, highlighting why so many locals recommend it.
To accompany my meal, I ordered a refreshing Mint Lemonade, a great addition for just KES 200. This drink perfectly complemented the savory flavors of the tappi, offering a refreshing twist that I thoroughly enjoyed. The combination of mint and lemon was refreshing after a warm day in Nairobi!
As I savored these delicious options, I couldn't help but notice the buzz around the restaurant. Other diners were equally engrossed in their meals, and I overheard multiple customers praising the quality of the food and the reasonable prices. It became clear that AL-HAMDU has earned its reputation as a go-to spot for tappi lovers!
As I wrapped up my meal, I felt a sense of satisfaction knowing that I had discovered a new favorite spot in Nairobi. The experience at AL-HAMDU left me not only full but also excited to tell my friends and family about my delightful adventure. If you're in Nairobi looking for a unique tappi experience, you definitely need to visit AL-HAMDU. With its fantastic food, warm atmosphere, and friendly staff like Fatima, it's a gem waiting to be discovered!
