Red Hot Like Pepper
I love Biryani, and the hotter it is the better. It’s hard to get amazing Biryani in Nairobi, so when my friend told me she had found the best Biriyani in the city, I had to try it out. After a long day zip-lining at The Forest, we were tired and famished. So, in our “infinite wisdom”, we decided this would be the best day to drive for an hour hungry from Kimende to Parklands to try out this world-class Biryani. By the time we got there, I was almost collapsing from hypoglycemia. This is one of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve been to. The red bricks lining its walls exude an occident spirit. And from the time we arrived the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, this was during the COVID lockdown and restaurants were only open for delivery, and dining in restaurants was strictly prohibited all over the country. Despite that, they pulled seats for us, so that we could wait comfortably for our orders. I ordered the Chicken Biryani with Chili😋, but I was so hungry I can’t even remember what my friend ordered. The price was KSh 1150, so my expectations were heightened even more. We walked around the restaurant chatting and admiring the décor as we waited for our orders. I give it a 5-star when it comes to ambience. We wished we could dine here. In about 45 minutes the manager brought our order, he told us this was their first day open since the covid lookdown began, and thanked us for patronizing them. We appreciated the gesture. Since we had only 15 minutes to the curfew, we quickly got into the car and drove home where we ate. To be honest, that was the best Biryani I had had in a long time, the serving was huge and it was red hot just like I like. So, it was value for money. Now that they are fully open, I can’t wait to make a reservation with them.
