This beautiful rooftop garden restaurant is located in Westlands at Delta Towers. For those who remember it took up the space where Buddha Bad used to be. I haven’t been to peppertree in a very long time, probably in like four years now. It’s not somewhere that really left a mark on me foodwise so I never thought to go back but as this was a birthday dinner plan, I decided to go and see if anything’s changed over the years.

Geco Cafe has grown so much from the little cafe it used to be. I remember I’d always go there and get something to eat as I wait for my car to get washed at the Geco car wash. Now it’s a full blown gastropub and the home of live music in Nairobi. I’ve been to Geco multiple times from the little cafe days to present day where all the cool kids hang out now.

I’ve been here a few times and I always have a fabulous time. The food y’all… the food is so good! The owner told us to try a little bit of everything so we went for the platter which includes BBQ ribs, jerk chicken, lamb sausages, osso bucco, rice and beans, plantains, sweet potatoes, red slaw and grilled veggies. That was a mouthful to write so you can guess it was a mouthful to eat as well.

There was so much hype about this place, so I was a bit worried it wouldn’t match up but I actually had quite a pleasant time 🙃 Big Smoke is located in Karen, along Ngong road. There’s a very big sign on the road so you can’t miss it. When you enter it feels like you’re entering a barn but not a barn? I’ve never been to a Texas BBQ but if I was to imagine how one would look like, this comes pretty close.
