"Stepping into CJ's is like entering an oasis of high-class dining right in the middle of Kilimani's beautifully organized chaos. Situated right by a busy intersection, the contrast the moment you walk through the doors is incredible. You are greeted instantly by a welcoming hostess with menus, and the upscale, beautiful aesthetics of the restaurant hit you right away. I opted to sit on the second floor, which offers a stunning view out the window—honestly, it felt like enjoying a perfect snapshot of Africa framed right in front of you. The drink and appetizer game here is top-tier. I ordered the Cucumber Kiwi Iced Tea and absolutely fell in love; it is incredibly refreshing. For an appetizer, the Beef Samosas absolutely called my name, and they are easily some of the best I’ve ever had. Being West Indian, the seasoning felt beautifully familiar and akin to what I'm used to back home—essentially a perfectly executed African empanada. Fun fact: CJ's doesn't serve alcohol at all. For a restaurant this massive to be so wildly successful without a bar speaks volumes about the quality of the food. People come here purely for the flavors, and it keeps your final bill very reasonable! For my main, I wanted to experience a staple of Kenyan cuisine, so I ordered the Garlic Beef Ugali Delight. My helpful server explained that ugali is made from corn flour, and tasting it, it reminded me of a very soft, dense biscuit with the appearance of mashed potatoes. While it might not be my absolute favorite thing yet, I’m so glad I tried it! The star of the show, however, was the beef and spinach. The beef was seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection, served alongside a delicious tomato-herb mixture and a side of plantains (which were a tiny bit firm, but still very tasty). The service here is impeccable. My server was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful with the menu. She originally suggested the fish, and since I know fish is huge out here, I’m definitely going to try the salmon or red snapper on my next visit. Five stars all the way for the stellar food, wonderful atmosphere, and excellent service. I completely understand the hype now!"
