Lemme start by saying how hidden this place is! And when you find it you’ll be shocked at how you’ve never seen it before-hidden in plain sight. I was invited to a Korean bbq dinner by Njambi. She hosts group Korean dinners every two months and they vary from either the hotpot selection or Korean BBQ. Got here quite late because of searching for said entrance (don’t use google maps lol) but it’s a nice house that opens up to a vast compound in the back with various sections so it can host a lot of people.

I visited Canopy Cafe this past weekend for brunch and I have lots of thoughts! The cafe is located in Ushuru Sacco Plaza, Kilimani. The setup is very minimalist, with muted tones and scattered greenery. The space being quite large could do with maybe more greenery or some art work as the walls are bare making it feel emptier than it should be. They have a limited menu, with brunch and lunch/dinner and a separate drinks menu.

This place had people in a chokehold back in 2021 when they just opened! Been here maybe a total of two times only. The parking situation already usually puts me off from going back but I digress… I really like the street-esque look of the place, the graffiti and the artwork is dope but also… hatukuli vibes. I tried a few different things - the tacos, teriyaki chicken & piri piri chicken from the bird exchange place and some gyoza from the noodle joint.

A rooftop cinema, cafe AND bar, Unseen was a fantastic find and it’s become a place I visit often when I need a change of work scenery:) I had a nice little date here with my bestie and we really enjoyed the food there. We had pork bao buns, kimchi grilled cheese sandwiches, potato croquettes & Korean fried chicken (my fave!). I loved the Korean chicken and the bao buns the best, they were so flavourful, so filling!

I’ve been a fan of this place for quite some time now. I’m not vegetarian and I rarely go to vegetarian places by choice but one day I tried this place and I’ve been a loyal customer ever since! Located at Keystone park in Riverside, Barista & Co is a cute little coffee shop and vegetarian restaurant that serves up a mean brunch. First of all - they have the best mint hot chocolate (KSH400) I’ve ever had & stay going back for, their lotus biscoff milkshake (KSH650) is so sinfully good and their hazelnut nutella latte (KSH450) is a must have!

It’s been a while since I’ve been here so I’m going off of memory. 1st of all - I must comment on decor… It’s a really well-outfitted place, feels very by the ocean without the ocean. The daybed section kwanza, top notch… I don’t know if they still have it but if they do, that’s the best section to sit at. The menu has a lot of variety, my friend and I tried a couple of different things, chicken lollipops and prawn summer rolls for starters, both were really good.
