Last Friday evening, I had the pleasure of dining at BigBird Bites, located at QRGV+89H, Nairobi, Kenya. As soon as I stepped inside, I was enveloped in a vibrant atmosphere that perfectly blends modern style with traditional Nigerian charm.
The decor was chic, with a modern vibe that set the stage for an unforgettable dinner. The rhythmic beat of Afrobeat music added an enjoyable flair to the ambiance, making it not just a meal but a complete sensory experience.
As I settled in, I couldn't resist starting with a classic dish: the jollof rice. Described by fellow diners as bold and delicious, my first bite was a taste explosion—just the right mix of spice and flavor that rekindled delightful memories from previous Nigerian feasts. The presentation was as impressive as the taste, showcasing the restaurant's keen attention to detail.
Next, I dove into the egusi soup, which reviewers had raved about for its authentic, savory flavors and perfect blend of spices. Truly, it didn’t disappointment; the soup was packed with bold and savory flavors that transported me back to my roots. Each spoonful was a comforting reminder of home, rich in taste and tradition.
As I continued my culinary adventure, the suya skewers caught my eye. These skewers were simply incredible—the flavors were bold and unforgettable, perfectly smoky and packed with spices that left me wanting more. It was a delightful twist on a traditional favorite!
Throughout my visit, I couldn't help but notice the impeccable service. The staff at BigBird Bites truly went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, with polite and efficient service that made the dining experience even more enjoyable.
The combination of well-executed dishes, chic decor, and vibrant music made BigBird Bites a standout dining spot in Nairobi. If you’re looking for a trendy experience that pays homage to authentic Nigerian cuisine, this is the place to be! I left with a happy heart (and a full stomach) after a memorable evening at BigBird Bites.
