Formerly where Nyama Mama used to be at Delta Towers, Westlands, the 254 Beer District is a nice take on a bar, restaurant and event space all in one. It has a great open layout that makes the indoors feel like you’re outside and the outdoors feel like you’re inside. The decor is very industrial and edgy, a mix of high and low tables, cool murals, exposed pipes and you can’t miss floating plants in a place like this to bring some warmth to the edginess.

Frangos is a Portuguese style restaurant, their focus being their chicken. I had the lemon & herb half chicken which comes with two sides of your choice, I had coleslaw and corn on the cob. Loved the chicken, very moist, very flavourful, and the corn had a nice chilli added to it as well. The coleslaw was just average. My friend had the rice option as a side which I tried and really liked how well spiced it is.

New York is a foodie’s haven and I love trying out so many new restaurants whenever I’m there. During my last visit I went to a couple and this was the first one I documented. I went to dinner here with my cousin who lives in Brooklyn and swears by this place so I had to try it. Bricolage is a modern Vietnamese restaurant that has a casual vibe to it.

My love for butter chicken has no bounds and Ando Foods get it right every time. Butter chicken is and will forever be a fave! The Palak Paneer was a first for me to try this year & the lactose intolerant in me persevered & survived. I also tried the Chicken Masala curry - didn’t enjoy that one as much as the butter chicken but it wasn’t bad. The curries come with freshly buttered Naan or garlic Naan.

Located in the CBD, along Aga Khan walk, this place is fairly new. I went on a Saturday afternoon which was not the best idea. It was filled with ALL the Gen Zs plus so many kids… Nothing against them but wow it was so full of the youths. There was a line outside the door guys… I didn’t want to come back again another day but my friend wasn’t willing to wait - so we left.

This is one of my favourite places to go to for brunch! They went really simple on decor: minimalist, muted tones and an open plan space which makes it seem bigger than it is, there’s some outside seating but majority is indoors. The menu is quite limited, which may concern some but for what they offer I think the menu fits. We had some coffees, the Chicken and Waffle (KSH1,200/), Shakshuka (KSH1,200/), Apple Crumble French toast (KSH1,100/) and Prawn tempura (KSH1300/).
