The sun last week was so glorious, it prompted me to step out for lunch at Mezza. They are located at the new shopping complex on Rose Avenue, Kilimani, right at the top giving it a perfect rooftop vibe for a sunny day. Mezza is known for its shawarmas and that’s really what I wanted to try but when I saw the menu and saw how juicy the burger was looking….

This place has been hyped for so long I was really wary of going to visit. I went there for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and for a place that is that popular it was quite empty at the time (1pm) which I didn’t mind. The place is expansive, I like the airiness, the vast outdoor seating, the bar that feels like an island in the middle of the restaurant… set-up wise they got it hands down.

Bamba is located on Amboseli road in Lavington but can be a bit tricky to find because the sign is quite hidden, they need bigger signage. The restaurant itself is set up quite nicely, it’s a semi-outdoor space with plenty of seating space either at the bar or the main dining space. I came here for dinner with a friend and even though the place was empty at about 6pm, we were informed that all the tables were reserved and we’d have to dine at the bar so it’s quite a popular place.

This is a place so many of you have asked me to visit for time! I decided to take my time going here to give them time to settle in because I’ve had many disappointments when visiting restaurants when they’re brand new. I came here for brunch with my bestie and one thing about this place - AESTHETICS👌🏾 It’s giving the visuals Beyonce denied us, whewwww! It’s such a stunning place, I love the minimalistic theme, earthy colours and how open and airy it feels without actually being open and airy.

Sierra has maintained their quality of food, service & ambience for years and I really appreciate that about them. The balcony area is really my favourite place to sit! I only come here for two things - their very sumptuous burgers and their dessert. Before they changed their menu they used to have this truffle mushroom burger that was the bees knees of burgers! I don’t know why they removed it and I hope they see this review and bring it back please.

Located in the Spring Valley area, this nice picturesque French eatery is a house turned into a restaurant and has such a vibey garden. I’ve been here a few times and each time I’ve tried a few different things just to go down their menu which is filled with a little bit of everything. For starters my date and I had both the Camembert & Rosemary + Feta & Coriander samosas (KSH600 for 3).
