Derek and I have been living in Nairobi for a week and a half and I have probably consumed more Indian food in that time, then my entire life. Samosas for breakfast, dahl and dosa for lunch and rich curries for dinner. YUM. The food rocks and it is caliente. We have eaten in fine eating establishments such as Haandi and even food courts in malls, yes malls, which seem to be a big thing here. Never thought I would be eating in one, but the food won me over. Check out these morsels.
You Are What You Eat,
Funny you should mention Indian in Nairobi! I’ve lived in Nairobi during summers for the past four years and always look forward to the cuisine: Indian, Ethiopian, traditional Kenyan and even Italian! Have you checked out Mediterraneo or the Ethiopian place just down the block and upstairs from the Cuban restaurant (definitely worth trying). I just posted a review of Handi at my blog (citytaster.wordpress.com) as well as for another Kenyan cafe at the museum. Check it out and look for some more reviews in the next few days.
What are you doing in Nairobi? Let me know if you have any questions (and I’m assuming the Indian food at the mall was at the Sarit Center…if not, go there too!).
Cheers and good eating!
