Nairobi Kenya Travel – City life and Entertainment Overview
Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, is a modern cosmopolitan city to be reckoned with. Its seamless melding of African traditional and modern elegance is designed to provide any visitor with an optimum level of comfort and enjoyment.
While in Nairobi, you can dine at typically traditional restaurants offering African cuisine ranging from millet ugali to Ethiopian taj. Nairobi also boast numerous international restaurants offering delicacies from Italy, India and Japan among others.
The cultural scene is equally impressive too. Theaters showcase local talents and there are various joints that will entertain you with truly Kenyan tunes every night of the week. A trip to Nairobi will immerse you in a culture, a lifestyle that is both authentically African and refreshingly internationalized. You will enjoy every minute of your time in Nairobi, whether you choose to enlighten yourself in the galleries or to plunge deep into the frenzy of all night clubbing.
K’osewe’s is a hangout for locals of all social strata looking for that so very elusive taste of the past, of home. The restaurant specializes mainly in fish accompanied by the ubiquitous East African dish, Ugali. Conveniently located in the heart of the city on Kimathi Street, it beckons anyone adventurous enough for local food. Chui’s on Museum Hill is also another local favorite.
After a morning of excursions to the museum and to Snake Park, you can sit down to a pleasantly casual lunch. Tamambo restaurant, in Westlands, takes guests on a journey for the taste buds. Sweet and sour vegetables are served with creamy coconut rice as tilapia cooked in diced peppers sits waiting. Deserts are available for both the sweet toothed and those with a leaning towards tart. Tamambo offers a taste of Africa for the bold, and the comfort of the west for the timid.
Like most of the Nairobi hotels and restaurants, the Blue Nile Ethiopian restaurant has found a niche in the multicultural environment. Over the years, it has attracted the attention of not only Ethiopian expatriates, but that of curious locals and tourists too. The fact that they come for more only goes further to prove how truly exquisite the service and food is. Located in Hurlingham, the restaurant is uniquely decorated with paintings of Ethiopian mythology and its spicy dishes are definitely not something you will forget soon. Read the rest of this entry »
