Visiting Civet, located at Lana Plaza, Oloitoktok Road in Nairobi, Kenya, is always an adventure worth embarking on. When I stepped inside, I was immediately enveloped by the cozy and vibrant atmosphere. It was a perfect Saturday morning, and I wanted to start my day with a delightful brew and something tasty to eat.
As I settled down, I quickly decided to try their famous latte. The reviews I had read touted it as 'the best', and I can confirm that it lived up to the hype! The latte is rich, creamy, and perfectly brewed. It was the ideal companion for my breakfast choice – a delicious Mediterranean omelette. Fresh vegetables and a hint of herbs made this dish come alive on my palate. The portion was generous, and I felt energized almost immediately.
One of the key highlights of my visit was the outstanding service, particularly from a wonderful server named Samira. Her knowledge of the menu truly impressed me. She recommended trying the homemade pizza after hearing about my love for Italian cuisine. I was glad I did; it was loaded with toppings and burst with flavor. Each bite was a testament to Civet's commitment to quality meals. As I savored the pizza, I noticed the atmosphere getting livelier—a perfect blend of good food and great vibes!
During my meal, I couldn't help but appreciate the ambiance surrounding me. Patrons were chatting, laughter filled the air, and the delightful sounds of music created a perfect backdrop. It’s a space designed for both relaxation and enjoyment. I could easily envision spending an entire afternoon there!
Another dish that caught my attention through other reviews was the chicken special, known for being succulent and flavorful. I made a mental note to try it on my next visit because many have said it’s a must-have! The chef at Civet pays attention to allergen sensitivity, which makes it even more appealing to those of us who need to be cautious about our dietary choices.
The best part? Prices are quite reasonable given the quality of food and service, making Civet one of the best restaurants in Nairobi. I felt the prices were fair for the delightful experience I received.
Before I wrapped up my dining experience, I took a moment to soak in the entire vibe one last time and reflect. From the warm greeting I received at the door to the delicious food and great service from Samira and the entire team, it was a perfect outing!
I highly recommend visiting Civet whenever you find yourself in Nairobi. Whether you’re in the mood for coffee, a quick bite, or a full dining experience, Civet is the place to be. See you at Lana Plaza—let’s savor some great meals together!
