Recently, I had the chance to visit Unknown, a charming tappi merchant tucked away in the heart of Kenya. It was a sunny afternoon, around 3 PM, and the warm, inviting atmosphere immediately drew me in. As I entered, the delightful aroma of fresh tappi hung in the air, promising a great culinary adventure.
One of the standout items that caught my eye was their signature tappi wrap, priced at Ksh 250. With its generous filling of spicy kale, succulent grilled chicken, and a drizzle of their house-made sauce, it was definitely a treat for the taste buds. I also couldn’t resist trying their classic tappi smoothie, which was a refreshing blend of tropical fruits, perfect for the warm weather at only Ksh 150.
As I savored my meal, I noticed the attentive staff working diligently to ensure every guest felt welcomed. I couldn’t help but give a special shoutout to James, one of the waiters, who provided exceptional service throughout my visit. He was not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, helping to enhance my experience with his recommendations.
- Locally sourced ingredients: The quality of the food made a significant impression. You can truly taste the freshness in every bite.

Continuing my culinary journey, I decided to also try their spicy tappi bowl, a delightful mix of flavors that combined fresh greens with zesty spices. This dish too was incredibly satisfying and came at a reasonable price of Ksh 300. Every spoonful was bursting with flavor, showcasing the chef's skill in balancing spices and freshness beautifully.
Overall, my visit to Unknown was a delightful experience that I would recommend to anyone in the area. The combination of delicious food, warm hospitality—thanks to James—and a lovely atmosphere made it truly memorable.
