the love of food

For a person who never had African food before and not knowing what to expect, Nyala has definitely open my eyes to a different world of taste. The food has stimulated my taste bud and gave me something different to ponder about. Let me begin to tell you my experience…

- The hummus at Nyala is a must try. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. It was delicious and leave you wanting more when it’s all gone.

- Fried Squid: This is one of my favourite dishes in a restaurant for an appetizer. Here, it’s something different, the dough looks like tempura in a Japanese restaurant and I must say, of all the fried squid that I have had, I have to give this one a 2 thumbs up. It has a very pleasant flavours and it looks very appetizing. The first piece of squid that I put in my mouth, I have to savour the taste. You can taste the freshness of the squid and the dough compliment the squid so well that you can’t wait to grab another one.

- Lentil Salad and Tabouled Salad is beautifully presented on a plate. This is something different that I never had before so when I try it for the very 1st time, it gives me a flavour that I have never experience before. I never eaten lentil much but now I have to reconsider trying more. Thank you Nyala for a well learned lesson in food.

- The owner and the server are very friendly and attentive and the service I received is excellent. They will be happy to educate you on the food you eat at any time.

- The restaurant use mostly organic and ocean wise seafood with authentic African spices. If you are environmentally conscious, this is def. the restaurant for you. I was once been told that in order to make your food taste good, you need to add a special ingredient in your food. What is it you might ask? Everything you cook, you need to put 5% of love into your cooking. The chief at this restaurant definitely did that, I can taste the love of cooking in the food.

If you like me, never try African food or looking a good African food, I would encourage you to visit Nyala African Cuisine, you won’t regret it.
