Last weekend, I had the pleasure of dining at Afi Steaks & Platters, a hidden gem nestled in Kikuyu, Kenya. Stepping into the restaurant, I was immediately struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a delightful evening.
The menu is a meat lover's dream, specializing in premium cuts, including their highly recommended Afi Pork. I took the plunge and ordered the pork wet fry, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. The reviews had been right; it was amazingly juicy and delicious, leaving every bite a mouthful of delight.
The service was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to a wonderful waitress named Claret. She was always checking in on us, ensuring our experience was seamless and enjoyable. The service was awesome, and I appreciate her attentiveness throughout the meal.
Another standout dish was the Ugali. It was extraordinarily finger-licking, serving as the perfect companion to the rich flavors of the pork. The seasoning was just right, which is often a tricky balance to achieve—a true testament to the skilled chefs at Afi.
As I enjoyed my meal, the ambiance did not go unnoticed. The breathtaking decor wrapped in a romantic Valentine theme added to the overall experience, with soft saxophone music playing in the background. It made the setting even more enchanting, ideal for both a family outing and a cozy date night.
Throughout my visit, I could feel the warmth from the staff, including a friendly waiter named Emmanuel, who added a personal touch to our service. As guests, we were made to feel special and valued, which enhanced our dining experience profoundly. I even got to chat with a few other customers who echoed similar sentiments, noting how attentive and friendly the waitstaff were.
And let's not forget about dessert! I couldn’t resist indulging in the delicious ice cream—a sweet way to end a fantastic meal. At only 100 shillings, it was a delightful treat.
I wholeheartedly recommend making a trip to Afi Steaks & Platters, especially if you're in Kikuyu. Every moment spent there, from the friendly service to the delicious food, was memorable. I left feeling satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit!
