As I strolled into The Local Grill, nestled in The Village Market, I immediately felt the inviting ambiance. The scent of perfectly grilled beef wafted through the air, instantly whetting my appetite. It was a delightful mid-afternoon visit, and what better way to indulge in a hearty meal than at a place known for its commitment to quality and sustainability?
The Local Grill has been a beacon of excellent dining since its establishment in Kenya in 2018, continuing the legacy for exceptional beef craftsmanship started by its South African counterparts in 2002. They are notorious for their 'field to fork' principles, ensuring every bite resonates with ethical sourcing.
On this visit, I decided to try their famous Rib Eye Steak. Reviews highlight its super juicy excellence, and I can wholeheartedly vouch for that. It arrived perfectly seared, with a tender pink center that melted in my mouth. Each bite was complemented by creamy, well-seasoned mashed potatoes that balanced the dish beautifully. I understood why one reviewer exclaimed, "The Rib Eye Steak is too good. I could live here!" I paired this stellar meal with a Port wine, which elevated the dining experience further.
While indulging in my steak, I observed the attentiveness of the staff, particularly the phenomenal service provided by Felistus. Many patrons highlighted the pleasant and personable service that makes dining here stand out. One customer even claimed, "Best customer service I’ve received in Kenya for as long as I remember," which speaks volumes in today’s fast-paced environment.
For those who enjoy variety, I couldn't resist trying my companion's selection—the lamb shank. It was equally delectable, drawing oohs and aahs from our table. We quickly understood why a customer commented on having "really enjoyed" their meal here. Every dish was a demonstration of culinary skill and commitment to local flavors.
As we sipped on our drinks, I appreciated the cozy atmosphere, ideal for conversation and leisurely dining. The overall experience felt 10/10, just as one enthusiastic diner put it; the ambience was not just a backdrop but an integral part of the enjoyment.
Finally, we couldn't resist dessert, opting for the delightful ice cream. It was the perfect conclusion to our meal, leaving us satisfied yet wanting more. Returning to The Local Grill seems like a promise I will keep.
Whether you’re a meat lover or simply looking for a comfortable, quality dining experience, The Local Grill in The Village Market should be at the top of your list. With its focus on ethical dining and delicious offerings, it’s an adventure of flavor and warmth you’ll want to visit time and again.
