Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting Scarface, a tapas merchant located in the vibrant city of Nairobi. I had heard a lot about this place from friends, so I decided to check it out one evening.
As I entered the cozy space, I was greeted by a warm atmosphere. The rustic decor combined with friendly service made it a welcoming spot for anyone looking to indulge in some delightful tapas. My visit took place at around 7 PM, and the energy in the room was palpable; laughter and lively chatter filled the air.
Upon sitting down, I quickly skimmed through their extensive menu filled with flavorsome options. I decided to try the following three dishes: Patatas Bravas, Chorizo al Vino, and a delicious Garlic Shrimp.
- Patatas Bravas: Priced at just KES 500, these crispy potato cubes were accompanied by a spicy tomato sauce that packed a punch. They were hot and delicious, a perfect sharing dish.
- Chorizo al Vino: I was particularly excited about this dish, and Scarface did not disappoint. For KES 700, the chorizo was simmered in red wine, giving it a rich flavor that had me savoring every bite.
- Garlic Shrimp: This dish is a must-try! Priced at KES 900, the shrimp were cooked to perfection with just the right amount of garlic, making it a standout choice for seafood lovers.
Throughout my meal, the service was impeccable. One of the standout staff members was Mary, whose warm smile and attentive service made the experience all the more enjoyable. She recommended the Patatas Bravas, which just became my favorite item on their menu.
What truly blew me away was not just the food but the overall experience. The prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality of the dishes. Scarface has successfully curated a menu that appeals to both the casual diner and the gourmet explorer.
If you’re ever in Nairobi, I highly recommend paying Scarface a visit. Whether you’re looking for a casual night out with friends or a new spot to share with family, you won't leave disappointed. Remember to ask for Mary and try the Garlic Shrimp!
