This is one of my favourite Japanese restaurants because they have the best Ramen. I only eat two things when I’m here - The Pork Ramen and the pork dumplings. A hot bowl of ramen is so perfect for the cold seasons and even the warmer seasons too. They have a variety of different Ramen like veggie, chicken, spicy chicken, tofu etc. Same with the dumplings - fish, pork, chicken or tofu.

3Dee restaurant is a restaurant that focuses on Kenyan food exclusively. It’s been around for quite a while but I only started visiting it more frequently in the last three years or so. Located at the 3Dee Apartment complex in Kilimani, the restaurant takes on the same name and is nicely tucked away in a corner of the complex. It looks like your typical restaurant with very little fuss in the decor and aesthetics.

I visited Cultiva quite a while back, over a weekend and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the food. The service though… not quite. But let me speak on the food first. We were there for brunch but apparently brunch is only served till 11? Isn’t the whole point of brunch is that it’s a meal served from late morning to late afternoon? Most places doing brunch in Nairobi refuse to actually do proper brunch hours and I don’t get why.

Talking about another cloud kitchen turned dine-in restaurant today! Siam Thai Kitchen is one of 7 brands under the Ando Foods umbrella and I love that their family just keeps getting bigger and bigger! (Still waiting on that dessert brand👀) As the name suggests, Siam is a Thai restaurant serving up nothing but good authentic Thai cuisine and coming from the Ando brand, I really expect nothing less. They opened quite a while back but I didn’t get to try anything from there until a few weeks ago.

There’s so many eateries popping up every other week, it’s so hard to keep up with all of them. One place though that’s only been in business for just a few months is already making a mark in the industry - a super crispy mark at that. Crispy Chick is a cloud kitchen that’s serving some very delectable fried chicken😋 Who doesn’t like fried chicken? Add different flavour varieties and I’m inside that story kabisa!

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.
