On a recent visit to Civet, located at the vibrant Lana Plaza on Oloitoktok Road, Nairobi, I couldn't help but be swept away by the lively atmosphere that envelops this cozy café. Known for its amazing coffee and irresistible meals, Civet stands as a beacon for anyone seeking a satisfying meal with delightful vibes.
I arrived at around 10 AM, eager to kickstart my day with their signature coffee. The unique blend, made from naturally fermented civet coffee beans, truly lives up to its reputation. Each sip was aromatic and full-bodied, a perfect companion for the succulent chicken dish I decided to try. It was lauded in a review I had read—"the chicken was succulent and tasty, and service by Nicole was equally excellent." Indeed, Nicole was attentive, making her presence felt with her friendly demeanor, and I felt instantly welcomed.
The menu at Civet is a treasure trove of Mediterranean and Italian delights. I couldn't resist also trying their fresh and tasty pizza after hearing rave reviews about it. The combination of fresh ingredients and expert craftsmanship made every bite memorable. Patrons often note the decent portion sizes at Civet, and my experience confirmed that. The pizza not only satisfied my hunger but also offered delightful flavors that kept me coming back for more.
But it wasn't just the food that stood out. The ambience of Civet is equally commendable—great location, filled with colorful decor and a gentle buzz of conversation surrounding me, making it the perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. As one reviewer said, "Great location. Great ambiance. Great food. I highly recommend Civet." I couldn't agree more!
As I settled in with my coffee and meal, I was reminded of a key feature that Civet excels at— catering to allergen sensitivities. As previously pointed out in one of the reviews, "they make the best meal considering allergen sensitivity." This was a relief for anyone who needs to be cautious about their food choices yet still wants to enjoy a delicious meal.
Throughout my time at Civet, it was hard not to notice the exemplary customer service. Samira was another outstanding server remembered fondly by other customers—"Very good customer service from Samira. She has very good product knowledge." Her enthusiasm for the menu added an extra layer of charm to the experience.
As I left Civet that day, I knew I had found a gem in Nairobi. It's not just a café; it’s a community hub where amazing coffee meets irresistible meals and unforgettable vibes. I highly recommend a visit to this bustling spot in Lana Plaza, whether it's for a quick coffee break or a full-fledged dining experience. Check it out; I promise you won't regret it!
