On a recent visit to BigBird Bites located at QRGV+89H, Nairobi, Kenya, I was excited to immerse myself in the vibrant atmosphere that this trendy eatery has to offer. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by the pulsating sounds of Afrobeat tunes, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. It was a Friday evening, and the place was buzzing with energy, making it the perfect spot for a night out.
The menu presented a delightful fusion of traditional Nigerian cuisine and modern culinary flair. My eyes lit up at the sight of the spicy jollof rice on the menu. I ordered a generous portion, and the moment it arrived, I was struck by its stunning presentation—bright colors and an artistic arrangement that reflected the attention to detail the chefs put into their work. The flavors were bold and delicious, a perfect mix of spice and taste that brought back amazing memories of home-cooked meals. At just KSh 800, it was not only satisfying but an incredible value for such a fulfilling dish.
Next, I had to try the egusi soup. Often touted in reviews for its authentic taste and right balance of spices, it did not disappoint. The soup was packed with savory flavors, and each spoonful transported me back to my roots. I felt a wave of nostalgia while enjoying this dish—it was truly authentic and flavorful. Priced at KSh 600, it was an experience worth every penny.
To round off my meal, I couldn't resist ordering the suya skewers. Known for their bold and unforgettable flavors, they were grilled to perfection. Each bite delivered a perfectly smoky taste that lingered on my palate. This dish was the ideal complement to my jollof rice and egusi soup, and the presentation made it even more inviting.
One thing that stood out was the exceptional service. The staff at BigBird Bites went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, making sure I was happy throughout my visit. Their polite demeanor and efficient service added to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience. In particular, I want to give a shoutout to one of the waiters who made sure my water glass was never empty and checked in regularly to see how I was enjoying my meal.
As I left BigBird Bites, I felt a sense of joy, having enjoyed a meal that struck the perfect chord between tradition and modernity. The clean and inviting ambiance complemented the chic decor, making it clear that this restaurant is not just another place to eat; it’s an experience. Whether you're craving the bold flavors of Nigerian cuisine or looking for a trendy place to dine, BigBird Bites should be at the top of your list.
