During my recent visit to Dau Swahili Restaurant on Kingara Road, Nairobi, I was enveloped in the enchanting flavors of coastal cuisine that this gem has to offer. I stopped by on a relaxed Saturday afternoon, looking for a culinary escape, and I certainly found it!
As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a vibrant ambience filled with melodies that immediately transported me to the coast. The beautiful decor and serene atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for enjoying a meal. While the service took a tad longer than I expected, the wait was well worth it, and here's why.
The menu is rich with authentic Swahili delicacies, including Pilau, Biryani, Chicken Tikka, and Shawarma. After much deliberation, I opted for the nach, following glowing reviews from other customers. The 
Shawarma was simply divine! Packed with authentic spices, it was bursting with flavor in every bite. The value for money is definitely exceeded here!
One of the highlights of my experience was the exceptional service. I was fortunate enough to be attended to by Amina, who was not only polite but also had a great attitude, making me feel welcomed throughout my meal. According to many customers, it appears that she has a keen knack for going the extra mile, which made my dining experience even more enjoyable.
The food was delicious, and even though I was satisfied with my meal, I couldn’t help but notice the alluring smell of freshly brewed Chai ya Kuanga. It was a perfect pairing with my shawarma, and I’ll definitely try it on my next visit. The prices are reasonable, making it a perfect spot for anyone looking to enjoy authentic cuisine without breaking the bank.
Overall, I rated my experience a solid 10/10! The ambience complemented the delicious food, and the friendly staff made my visit memorable. If you're ever in Nairobi and craving authentic Swahili food, I highly recommend you check out Dau Swahili Restaurant. You won't be disappointed!
