Last Saturday evening, I made my way to Mawimbi Seafood, nestled at Longonot Place Hotel Apartments on the corner of Harry Thuku Road and Kijabe Street. The moment I walked in, I was enveloped by a welcoming atmosphere, and the sparkling decor set the stage for an evening of delightful culinary exploration.
As I took my seat, my eyes were immediately drawn to the vibrant menu. I decided to start my meal with their signature lobster, which is frequently praised for its exquisite taste. At a very reasonable price, I was in for a treat. The lobster was not only cooked to perfection but was also complemented with refreshing drinks that paired beautifully with my meal. It was just what I needed to kick off my evening.
As I savored my lobster, I couldn't help but notice the amazing service. Tony, our waiter, was incredibly attentive. Many reviews echoed the same sentiment, with visitors noting the exceptional service they received. One guest even stated, "Had an amazing time will definitely be back.... Tony was our waiter for the day and we received the best service ever." It's these small details that truly enhance the dining experience.
For my main course, I opted for the seafood brunch, which I had heard wonderful things about. The dish was a delightful blend of various seafood options, expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the quantity was generous, making it excellent value for money—definitely not something you could replicate at home without a considerable investment.
The atmosphere added another layer to my experience. Mawimbi hosts a range of vibrant live events; tragically, I missed out on the Seafood Sundays and the live music on Fridays, but I could already tell that they significantly enhance the dining experience. The ambiance was further elevated by soft music playing in the background, creating a warm and inviting vibe.
As the evening rolled on, I was tempted to order dessert, but I decided to relish the experience instead. I could see guests around enjoying their meals, smiling, and chatting, making it clear that everyone was having a fantastic time. Guests often mention that they love bringing tourists to Mawimbi for its excellent food, service, and the overall vibes.
Before leaving, I made sure to thank the staff for such a memorable evening. I genuinely felt like part of a community, surrounded by wonderful people who truly care about providing a great experience. A fellow diner mentioned, "These wonderful people made the experience even better," and I couldn’t agree more.
