Perfect African Vibes
Kiza was a great eye opener for me, guess it was one of the premium African restaurant in Dubai. Located at the high rolling DIFC area, Kiza is a modern mix of traditional African roots to the more modern look and feel. Beautifully decorated, cool African artifacts, a private area, tables, lounger chairs, sofas, all add individual vibrant to the whole place. The bar is fully equipped set in the middle of the Restaurant in sort of a V shape. We loved the music being played by the DJ and for a midweek, this place was packed.
We started off with some fresh juices of pineapple, Lime & mint. Then we got the Chicken brik, which is a favourite Nigerian dish, which is made of oven baked, filo pastry filled with chicken, onion and cheese. Perfectly puffed and the right amount of hardness, not too flaky. The chicken really nice, unlike any flavours that I have had before. Next we got the chicken gizzard, the spice levels of this really got me going, truly one fine dish which I loved. The onions, bell peppers and all mixed with the hard gizzard meat, was unbelievable.
There was many main dishes that we ordered, Grilled chicken, BBQ Ribs, Pan fried Talapia, and Yassa chicken. I loved the grilled chicken, fine piece of chicken with some spicy marination. The pan Tilapia came with the famous Jollof rice, which is a slow cooked process with tomatoes, bell peppers and onions. The BBQ chicken was outstanding, large sized ribs soaked with their signature sauce and served with fried sweet potato fries.
Overall the food was delightful, gave us some amazing flavours that we have not tried so often. We loved the variety of dishes served from various African nations. Lovely vibe and feel. The service was a let down for us, but we hope they will do more to pick up that part of the experience to the customers. Barring that, this is a terrific place to be.
