Revisiting The General

The General quickly became one of our favourite restaurants in Nairobi. Technically a bar and restaurant. They recently updated their menu and since my cousin was around, my two cousin brothers and I decided to go to The General one night and try out their new menu.

To check out the post I made for the last time we were there, please click here.

The Menu

Here is their updated menu for anyone thinking about visiting.

The Vibe

The vibe at The General is always immaculate. The wait staff is so friendly, everyone is having a good time, it’s really chill. Honestly, I would just go for the vibe regardless of the food and drinks lol. The lighting is also amazing and I got to take a lot of cute pictures. Also, I swear my concealer matched my skin tone, there was a bright light on me which is why it looks a little off in the pictures lol.

The Food

The food was genuinely incredible. Like some of the best food I’ve had in Nairobi or maybe even in my life.

We go some fries/chips (of course we did!), grilled cheese sandwiches, macaroni & cheese, pasta and sandwiches. Would rate every single thing 10/10 and we even ended up ordering seconds.

For dessert, we got churros! They were really good but I’ve had churros at this Mexican spot in Nairobi and those were better. I have to keep it real with you guys.

Overall

The General is easily one of the best spots in Nairobi. Every aspect of it is an absolute 10/10. If you’re ever visiting Nairobi or if you’re from here, please do give it a go.

    1. Yes, you absolutely do. We have so many good restaurants now.

      1. Do you also have gorilla sanctuary? This is what my husband would like to do

        1. No, that’s in Rwanda but definitely worth doing although you need a license for it so I recommend looking into that a little in advance so you can get it on time.

          1. What kind of license? Never heard of such a thing

            1. Yeah, most people don’t know that licenses are necessary which is why I wanted to let you know in advance. https://www.safaribookings.com/blog/gorilla-permit-rwanda-everything-you-need-to-know

  21. Hi Pooja!

    I saw the post and decided to read it later. The mornings are generally refreshing. I am starting my day by reading this post.

    Your words tell you enjoyed visiting the restaurant. It is your second visit. Yes, I remember the previous post.
    So this place has good vibes and you liked tasting various servings— the sandwich, the pasta and dessert etc.

    You have remained honest about the review which keeps this post real.

    By the way you look good. Black colour suits on you. Your cousin as the cameraman has done a good job. We should meet our cousins occasionally! (My cousin sister has invited me to her house. Will visit her on tomorrow)

    Keep shining! Keep smiling that way!
    Healthy food keeps us alive, it keeps us moving. To be honest tasty food provides ultimate satisfaction.

    Take care. I stop here.

    1. Hi! Yes, mornings are a good time to read. The restaurant was great and the food was so delicious. We had a wonderful time. I love black clothes, they’re my favourite although I’m trying to wear more colours these days. Have fun at your cousin sister’s!

      1. I also switched to colourful clothes, especially milky colours (milky blue, milky green etc.) are my favourites.
        Yupp. Sure!

        1. Ah that’s very cool!

  22. Great pics. Food looks delicious.

    1. Thanks. Yeah, everything was exceptionally good.
