As a coffee enthusiast and food lover, I'm always on the lookout for places that provide a delightful experience. Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting Civet, located at Lana Plaza on Oloitoktok Road in Nairobi. My visit was on a sunny morning, and I was excited to dive into their offerings.
Walking into Civet immediately enveloped me in a cozy, vibrant atmosphere that felt inviting. The air was filled with the enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee and delicious Mediterranean and Italian dishes. I decided to try their famous coffee, made from civet beans, which I’ve heard so much about. It was unlike any coffee I'd ever tasted—smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced.
I also indulged in their succulent chicken dish, which was nothing short of incredible. The chicken was tender and flavorful, truly a standout item on their menu. I must give a shoutout to Nicole, who provided excellent service, enhancing my dining experience with her fantastic attentiveness.
Not only was the food commendable, but the service also surpassed my expectations. I had read reviews highlighting Samira's incredible customer service, and I certainly witnessed that firsthand. She was knowledgeable about the menu and made recommendations that were spot on. I felt as though I was in good hands throughout my visit.
Aside from the coffee and chicken, I couldn't leave without trying one of their renowned pizzas. It did not disappoint! The crust was perfectly baked, and the toppings were fresh and generous. I found it to be a delightful addition to my meal. The portion sizes were decent, ensuring that I left feeling satisfied.
Here’s a quick recap of what I experienced at Civet:
- Coffee: Made from civet beans, unique flavor, priced reasonably.
- Succulent Chicken: Flavorful and tender, with excellent service from Nicole.
- Pizza: Perfectly baked, fresh toppings, a must-try!
The ambiance was lively, and the location—Kilimani at Lana Plaza—was convenient, making it a spot I’d recommend to anyone in Nairobi looking for a great meal. The atmosphere, combined with the friendly service and incredible food, truly encapsulates what a dining experience should be about.
If you're in the area and looking for a place that serves not just food but good vibes, Civet should be on your list. Overall, I left feeling content and eager to return. I can definitely see why so many have rated Civet highly and why it’s being spoken of as one of the best spots in Nairobi!
