I recently shared a post about visiting Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and viewing the elephants at the nursery (you can read the full post here). Well, after that experience, we decided to head somewhere for lunch. We ended up at Cultiva because we had been meaning to go there for ages and it was very close to the National Park. You can read more about Cultiva on their site. And I decided to share my Cultiva review and experience with you guys.
Before I get into the review, just wanted to let you guys know that the video version of the review is also up now. If you’d like to watch it you can check it out:
The Ambiance
The ambiance was so lovely. It had such a chill, boho, artsy vibe.
The Food And Drinks
I don’t know how else to say it except this was the best food I’ve ever had in my life. If you’ve been following my blog for a while you know that I like to try new places to eat and new dishes often. I’ve come across some amazing places. But none of them even hold a candle to Cultiva. I think it was because a lot of the ingredients they use are farm to plate. They have a little farm at the back where they grow fresh veggies. It made the dishes taste so fresh and delicious.
We started out with some drinks although I decided not to get anything to drink. These days I avoid drinking with my meals. Anyway, I think they got the raspberry lemonade which they said was amazing.
We started with the Seitan “Not Chicken” Tacos which were incredible. They had used a Korean gochujang sauce for the seitan and it worked so perfectly with the coleslaw. The soft tortilla’s were made in store which made them taste even more fresh and delicious.
Next came the rest of the food, it seems like a daunting amount for three people but we hadn’t head anything all day so we were famished.
These are the garlic bread and loaded potato fries. The garlic bread was really good but I still prefer the one I had at Villa Rosa Kempinski a little more. The fries though, omg the fries. If you read my review posts on a regular basis you know I’ve had a lot of fries in my life. It’s rare for us to go to a restaurant and not get fries. I’ve had some amazing fries. But these fries, these fries were absolutely perfect. I still wake up in the middle of the night dreaming about them, craving them like a drug addict. I wish that was an exaggeration but I can’t even say it is. These fries healed something in me that no amount of therapy could.
The Fire Oven Capresse with sour dough bread was really yum too. The tomatoes and basil was so incredibly fresh.
Lastly we ended up getting the Margarita Pizza (cheese pizza) and it was good. Again, very fresh tasting ingredients.
Overall
I hope you enjoyed reading my Cultiva review and experience. I really like sharing these review/experience posts because I feel like we can share the memories virtually and I know someone of you enjoy reading about my life in Nairobi and the experiences I have here.
Overall, we truly enjoyed Cultiva and will be going back soon. They have a good variety of vegan and vegetarian options that taste amazing and are perfectly made/cooked. Although the price is slightly higher, I feel that it’s not bad for that area of Nairobi which tends to be much more on the expensive side. We spent about 3000 ksh per person (about $25 USD) which honestly isn’t bad for the amount of stuff we ordered.
