I had the pleasure of trying out Birdy’s Chicken & Chips a while back and I’m here to tell the tale 😊 Birdys is a vibrant chicken and chips shop tucked away in a nice corner of the Parklands area. I love their very bright yellow theme running throughout the restaurant, it really makes it stand out. I came here for lunch with my girlies and we tried a few things from their nice succinct menu: Chilli mango cheese burger (KSH400), fried quarter chicken & chips (KSH300), quarter poussin chicken & chips (KSH350), corn ribs (KSH250), an Oreo milkshake (KSH400) and passion and strawberry lemonades (KSH250).

Today we’re talking about the underrated Pot Belly restaurant & bar. I had not heard about this place until a few months ago and I immediately paid a visit when I discovered it along Matundu lane in Westlands. Their decor is quite simple, a little too simple for me. However, I think we know by now that what a place lacks in decor it makes up for it 10x more with the food!

Bang Bang Thai is a stunning restaurant located at the village market - new wing (do we still call that side new?). It’s gives off a very welcoming aura right from the entrance that’s adorned with so much foliage you feel like you’re entering an enchanted forest ☺️ The decor feels very eclectic and alternative compared to what you’d think a Thai restaurant would typically look like. They have expansive seating in their main area and cozy booths and isolated rooms further in that provide more privacy for groups that don’t wanna people watch while dining.

Ciao from Caffe Concerto, a super cozy and quaint Italian restaurant located in the heart of Kilimani. It’s a house turned restaurant that serves up a variety of authentic Italian meals made with traditional ingredients and a touch of that homemade goodness we all know and love from our own home cooked meals. The restaurant isn’t as spacious and I think that’s what I really like about it. A few tables here and there, perfect setup for dinners for two at the most maybe four.

I finally got to try the famous Uncle Nene’s burgers and I went all the way to their Garden Estate branch to get the full experience! For those who haven’t been and don’t live near that area, just be prepared for quite a drive. The restaurant is quite quaint, not too much pizazz, nice and simple. Perfect for a casual lunch or dinner plan. I came here for lunch with a friend a while back.

Today we’re in the heart of Karen at La Terrasse, another Vietnamese restaurant in Nairobi. I love that there’s a good variety of these to choose from nowadays. La Terrasse is a beautiful space located on Marula Lane, the same place where the farmer’s market usually takes place. I love the outdoor setup especially on a nice sunny afternoon facing the lush forest backdrop. I came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon and it was quite empty, so I think it gets busier on weekends.
