Watch the street food tour on Youtube But as a proper all-around foodie who knows all the hidden gems –including those we’ll never share (just kidding, I share everything)– I can tell you that there are some high-end restaurants that have nearly made me an unbeliever in street food.

Kaza Rice Restaurant (VI) 29, Karimu Kotun, VI | Phone | Instagram I visited Kaza Rice, a restaurant located at VI that sells mainly rice dishes from around the world. Their space is neat, small and comfortable. I was a bit confused on what to get so I asked one of the staff to recommend a meal.

There are plants everywhere you look and it made the scenery so calm and absolutely amazing. It’s such an instagrammable spot and can easily pass as ‘the abroad’. It is filled with plants and trees, a plant lovers haven for sure. MEAL Their menu is limited which is fine for a café, to be honest. They had a few cocktail options and mocktail options.
