  • Nairobi seems to get a brand new restaurant every single week these days and this week is no exception with Akira located inside the Westgate Mall in Westlands.
    Akira is an Asian fusion restaurant serving everything from sushi to dumplings and stir-fries. They also have an amazing selection of cocktails thanks to their mixologist always ready to make something special just for you!
    Overall, the Akira Modern Asian restaurant is a nice spot with a great ambiance and delicious food perfect for date night or a simple night out with friends.
    Let me also mention that Akira is part of the same group as another of our favorite restaurant in Kenya which is they neighbour, Onza.

    Dave and Tracy, We love watching your content. We are headed to the Elephant Bedroom Camp from April 25 to May 1, partly because of your video! This will be our second trip to africa. Last November we were in South Africa at the Kapama Buffalo camp. We loved it. Believe it or not, we are looking forward to the cheeky monkeys. We had some of those at Kapama. We are flying into Nairobi and spending our first night at the Villa Rosa Kapinski and we loved your video about that place too. Maybe we will see you around? Last time we actually met Travel for Phoebe, if you know who she is. Our names are Nancy and Bill.

    I'd be interested to know what time of the evening you were there, cause it didn't look like they had many customers. Definitely not an inexpensive place to eat. Who are the investors in all the new restaurants in Nairobi...Kenyan's or foreign investors since you seem to know so much about the places to eat. Speaking of eating, I have never seen two people eat so much during dinner or on your safari's. Don't mean to be rude, but, Dave didn't you Mother teach you not to talk while you are eating?

    • @billyruita8155
      @billyruita8155 Před 20 dny

      I believe it doesn't really matter who the owners are because, economically, it's beneficial. They rent spaces, creating a ripple effect of more space demand which culminates to more construction projects, which in turn generates jobs for local people, engineers, and utilizes locally sourced building raw materials. Additionally, new companies or businesses pay taxes, and there's both direct and indirect employment. Some of the food consumed is locally sourced, benefiting farmers and small businesses. If I continue listing reasons why you shouldn't care about the ownership, you'd also lose interest in knowing who the owners are.
