This is where you can eat good food in Nakuru Town
Well I am very particular when
it comes to what I eat not only because I have a sensitive stomach but because I
also have a good appetite plus a tongue that can differentiate well-cooked from
averagely cooked.
I am a good cook myself. After staying
at the Coast for ten years, Shelly Beach to be precise, I mastered the art of
cooking. At the Coast people don’t just cook food, they actually put their
heart and soul into it and the result is something totally out of this world.
So today I am focusing on restaurants
in Nakuru Town, my home town of course. I have gone to different restaurants
and I have come up with a list of the best places you can eat good food made
real good.

I would like to start with
chicken pot restaurant which is situated in the Uchumi Business Center behind
Tuskys and CK Patel buildings.
Now I usually go here for 3
things: the fries, the tea and the githeri. The fries are well fried, chipped
so well and the right yellow. The fries are served with the best coleslaw in
town. Then the tea is out of this world. It does not have cream floating on it
or oil drops and the ratio of water to milk is good. Githeri is a mixture of
maize and beans but Chicken pot makes it so delicious plus they add some meat
to it and it has a lot of well fried onions. The fries go for Sh. 120, tea
Sh.40 and the githeri also goes for 120.
From there I go to Jumia Food Mart
which is located at the end of Oginga Odinga Street before you enter town. I go
here too for the fries too but the main thing that seduces me the more is the
chicken biryani. This is like some hot spicy chicken sauce served with rice. The
chicken is well cooked and here they serve you the thighs unlike other hotels
which seem to keep the best of meat for themselves. The chicken biryani goes
for around Sh. 350. They also serve fresh juice which retails at Sh. 100 and if
you want a cocktail then add twenty shillings to the a hundred. For dessert
have some ice cream which a hundred and something.
Now I am a lover of ugali, meat
and traditional vegetables and if you are like me then let us all go to Perfect
Food Restaurant. They serve meaty meals. Fried, roasted, stewed name it. The
ugali is hard enough and the managu is all so green a plate of this combination
is Sh. 120. This restaurant is found opposite Gido Plaza on the Nakuru –Eldoret
Highway , just after KCB Menengai Branch.
I know you might be asking
where you can eat for less than Sh. 50 but still enjoy your meal in a decent
place. Well that is why I go to snackway in the middle of Kenyatta Avenue
opposite Merica hotel. With just Sh. 100 you enjoy a plate of hot chips and a
cold Soda. Chips plain is Sh.50. There is a friendly waiter there known as Juma
always greating you with a smile.
Well there you go, 4 places in
Nakuru town that you can eat not just food but food that the chef puts their
heart into.
