Good news for foodies in Nairobi! The much anticipated Nairobi Restaurant Week is back, now in its sixth year, with more than 75 restaurants around the city are offering discounts on their meals and complimentary drinks.
NRW launched its 2019 edition at the Urban Eatery on Wednesday evening. The event runs from February 28 to March 10.
It will most likely be extended in some restaurants due to public demand.
Meals will range from Sh950, for a two-course and around Sh2,000 for a three-course, depending on the restaurant.
Mediterranean Mezze Platter, Greek Mushroom Cap and Harisa Skewers were served as the third course, paired with Israeli Shiraz wine.
The meals will be inclusive of a complimentary drink. The menus will be a variety of Indian, Italian, East Asian and Kenyan cuisine.
Additionally, diners who pay for their food using their Visa Card will get a 20 percent off their bill.
At the launch on Wednesday, the highlight was a four-course meal.
The starter was a choice of Pani Puri Shots, Haandi Hyderabadi Nawabi (Chicken Bityani) and Raiti paired with an 18-month-old Thelema wine.
