| - We went here for Mother's Day Brunch (found out about this place the day before) and was surprised it was rather empty -- we arrived at around 10:40am, or maybe closer to 11am.
Seating:
We were greeted promptly and were sat relatively quickly (our server/host just had to set the table/wipe down the booth). Of course, I noticed the Mimosa station upon entering, so when we were asked what we wanted to drink, I asked for a (Delightful) mimosa... and coffee. :)
Food:
There were a lot of choices on the menu and a short description of what was included. A lot of "Traditional" American breakfast fare, some with a Kenyan twist. I wanted to try the "Hakuna Matata Rafiki Breakfast" (yes, Lion King fan here ;)), but my eye was drawn to the "Tatu Estate Brunch Special" -- aka Chicken and Waffles! ZOMG. Chicken. So. Good. Waffles. Crispy! The sweet potato fries topper was a pleasant surprise, too. It was all flavourful, but not overpowering. The spinach nu jue complimented the entire plate. Did I mention the chicken was so good? :)
Also tried the Mandazi. We didn't know what it was, but our server explained it as deep-fried dough. Hello donuts! Kenyan-style. It paired well with honey.
Serving size was great and more than enough (except for my bro who's bulking up and inhaled his steak and eggs) ;)
Service:
Our server was prompt, friendly, attentive, and quick! Our food came out fast, too. I'm glad we had an "earlier" brunch since the place started to fill-up when we were in the middle of our meal.
Ambiance:
The decor was eclectic, but cosy. It wasn't too-in-your-face-Kenyan/East African-themed, but there were little trinkets here and there that gave the impression you weren't just in a "regular" restaurant.
I'm definitely a fan and will return to try the other dishes!
