Kahvalti Cafè
I came across this place on Instagram’s explore page, I saw a few people talking about it and the food looked nice so I decided to try it one day.
It’s located on Lenana road, in the lobby of 197 Lenana Place office building. It’s quaint and not super spacious but it fits the cafe aesthetic really well. Cosy seating all around and great lighting especially in the corner seating areas.
Sea Wolf - New York
Sea Wolf in Brooklyn came highly recommended by some friends and reviews online seemed mostly positive so I was excited to try some fish in the big apple finally.
We ordered a few different things to try - the spicy shrimp basket, fish and chips, San Diego style fish tacos, grilled chicken salad and a classic burger. The only thing I enjoyed here was the spicy shrimp… The fish in the fish & chips was covered in a cake level of batter, I couldn’t eat past one bite.
Sweet Chick - New York
So I’m probably gonna sound biased but I truly feel like this is one of the best places for a good rich southern style brunch in New York. It’s one of my faves, and I always have to come here anytime I’m in this city and it never ever disappoints be it dine in or takeout👌🏾
So - context, Sweet Chick is a restaurant owned by Nas… yes that Nas. There are various locations in New York, Los Angeles and London too.
Golden Stool Kitchen & Bar
As always, I noticed the decor first. Love love the decor. There’s a particular velvet chair with roses on the back that I want in my living room but let me stop digressing sorry… (But if anyone knows who did their outfitting let me know please)
I’ve not had a lot of West African food so I was quite excited to taste all the peppery goodness because I’m a lover of all things spice.
Jamrock
This place was such a great random find thanks to a friend of mine who is actually Jamaican. Jamrock is a literal hole in the wall type restaurant located at GW Brook Business Park. You can spot it immediately you enter because who’s gonna miss the international reggae colours of red, green and yellow?😊
They have quite limited seating both on the inside and the outside but you can sit in the main area of the courtyard and your order will still be brought to you there.
Sno Cream
If you have not been to Sno Cream and you are born and raised in Nairobi, I need you to go there now. Like right now. Just close that laptop and head over there so you can understand and the classic Sno Cream experience.
Sno Cream is possibly the oldest ice cream parlour in Kenya and actually has a branch in Dar es Salaam that is just as old yet still in operation as well.
