Caribea

Caribea is a bar cum restaurant....almost like an Alfajiri kind of place, except their specialty is Indian food. They are located close to Yaya Center. I have to say, this is the first time I am hearing of this place and a place I have not been to in Nairobi is always a welcome experience.
It has an outdoor and indoor area. The outdoor area comprises of small cabana style booths which would probably be good if you wanted your own privacy for a meeting or other things:-). Because it was so cold, we opted to be indoors. It was still cold but they have the option of a jiko for people like us that are freezing.Indoors is nothing special. Your typical "drape some linen on the tables" kind of place. Low lighting to set the mood (whatever mood you are looking for).They have TV's all round the room which I found quite distracting as there was a different channel on each TV, but hey that's my opinion. I'm sure some people would welcome the distraction.

We got a table and the waitress quickly informed us that there was no menu for drinks only food. So drinks were on a need to know basis. I settled for their house wine (seeing as I really didn't have a choice). By the second glass, it really wasn't that bad.

It is a primarily Indian menu, so for dinner, I ordered butter chicken, while my friend ordered the mutton. Thank God for good conversation and wine because the food takes a very long time to come to the table.
Because I usually know how to order, my food was really good. It had just the right amount of spice and was not too saucy. loved it!couple it with some naan and I could say it was divine. My friend on the other hand, did not have my luck. His mutton was a tad salty and so he didn't really enjoy his meal.
As for the service, the waitress kept hovering over the table to check if we were done which was quite annoying. I am a slow eater and for someone to keep trying to clear my plate when I am not done is really annoying. But on replenishing our drinks, I have to give it to her.....she was definitely keen on pushing my wines.

My yummy butter chicken almost done

Happy after my yummy meal
