Hey guys!
Today’s post is a review on Baluba restaurant located at Movenpick Nairobi. When I heard about Movenpick opening in Nairobi, I was really excited to visit and today we did. We dined at Baluba restaurant which had a large buffet as well as a live band that filled the air with mellifluous tunes . The restaurant was lively, has a cosy aura indoors and a breezy atmosphere outdoors which is perfect for brunch on a Sunday. Baluba serves intercontinental food and boasts a variety of options. Baluba’s food is a picture of decadence and if you love good food, I’d definitely recommend Baluba. However, I don’t think this restaurant would be ideal for vegetarians as they would be limited to salads. Also, please do not judge me for eating all the food I did. #sorrynotsorry
For starters I tried the salmon,and the tomato and mozzarella salad as well as cucumber rolls which were filled with cream cheese and a salsa. In addition, I also tried the beef carpaccio, greek salad and hummus.I didn’t like the hummus much though because it was a bit too crunchy. Yes, I know you’re thinking this was a lot but I was verrrryyyy hungry! #gallery-1793-19 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1793-19 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1793-19 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1793-19 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
For the mains there were several options available but I tried the lamb chops, chicken wings, parsley potatoes, chicken and cashew stir fry penne carbonara-you know a girl loves pasta!- as well as the lemon and dill Nile perch. The lamb chops were slightly tough but the chicken wings were tantalizingly spicy. The fish as well was bursting with flavour. One amazing thing is that Baluba has homemade pasta. By homemade I mean someone has mixed, rolled and cut the pasta you’re eating which I think is amazing. #gallery-1793-20 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1793-20 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1793-20 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1793-20 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Gosh, retelling this experience is making me feel like such a hog! I consumed enough calories for the week. But after lounging for a while, I got dessert. Now for dessert I told myself I needed to try EVERYTHING. Guys have you ever seen food so delicately presented it’s almost too pretty too eat? Baluba has such elegant and decadent dessert I think I was overwhelmed-but in all the best ways. They had this really unique take on simsim( a Kenyan spherical sugar treat of sesame seeds and sugar ) where they made it into a thin brittle which I think was absolutely creative. They also had lemon meringue tarts and if you know me you know I love these. And to top this all off, there was a wide selection of mousses, and CHOCOLATE FONDUE!! We actually need to talk about how amazing this selection was.
Anyway for dessert I tried the new-york cheesecake, a lemon meringue tart-duh!, berry tarts, macarons, chocolate opera slice and a chocolate truffle. #gallery-1793-21 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1793-21 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 100%; } #gallery-1793-21 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1793-21 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Sunday was also my dad’s birthday and we managed to surprise him by organizing for the band to sing “happy birthday” to him. The movenpick staff also brought out a decadent slice of chocolate cake for him. #gallery-1793-23 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1793-23 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-1793-23 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1793-23 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
That’s all for today. I hope you enjoyed the post. Feel free to like, share and comment.
