If you're looking for a hidden gem in Nairobi to enjoy some great coffee and delicious food, look no further than Café Amka! I had the pleasure of visiting this delightful spot located on Waiyaki Way last Saturday afternoon, and it truly exceeded my expectations.
The ambience at Café Amka is simply enchanting. The cozy indoor seating combined with a refreshing patio surrounded by greenery creates a vibrant yet tranquil setting, perfect for a casual catch-up with friends or even a productive work session. I was welcomed by friendly staff who ensured my visit would be memorable.
I started my experience with a cup of their hazelnut coffee, highly recommended by the attentive waiter, Ibrahim. Let me just say, it was love at first sip! The rich, nutty flavor made for a warming beverage that paired beautifully with a freshly baked croissant. At only KES 300, the combination was an absolute steal. The croissant was flaky, buttery, and not too heavy, making it the ideal accompaniment to my coffee.
As I savored my treat, the pleasant music created an upbeat atmosphere, making it an enjoyable experience overall. I couldn't help but admire the cleanliness of the washrooms, which added a nice touch to our overall visit. The service was top-notch, thanks to Ibrahim, who continually checked on us and ensured everything was perfect. His recommendations were spot-on, and his passion for Café Amka was easily visible.
Eventually, my dining companion and I decided to sample more from the menu. We shared a Chicken Katsu sandwich, which was scrumptiously crispy and flavorful, offering a wonderful balance of textures and tastes. I could see why so many customers rave about this dish! We also ordered the One Pot Chicken Stir Fry, which was wholesome, tasty, and made for a delightful lunch. These dishes not only filled us up but demonstrated fantastic value for money.
Many visitors had also shared wonderfully positive experiences, with remarks like "great customer service and awesome food" echoing throughout the café. It was poetic to witness others enjoying their meals while soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. Friends, I cannot stress enough that a visit to Café Amka is a must. Whether you’re a coffee aficionado or a casual foodie, the extensive menu ensures there’s something for everyone. Not to mention, the live band on the weekends adds an unmissable touch!
In conclusion, my afternoon at Café Amka was nothing short of exceptional. From the amazing food, the delightful coffee, to the impeccable service by Ibrahim, it’s safe to say I’ve gained a loyal spot to return to. Expect to see friends and family the next time I visit!
