Dining In The Dark By sharpening the senses, Gizani's gourmet dinner in the dark won’t be easy to forget Sometimes in Nairobi it’s easy to pass over exceptional food without giving it a chance to truly astound you. All too often a night of eating out is enveloped and destroyed by distraction, phone calls, people running around the place and strange sights that distract the palate away from the very essence of the food itself. Gizani’s concept is similar to that of Dans Le Noir – an international restaurant franchise started in France that offers full course, fine dining meals served in complete darkness by blind or visuallyimpaired staff. Sometimes food is meant to be a surprise and there is no better embodiment of this than in this series of dinners – it is something that has to be unseen to be believed. Tribe Hotel is the home for Nairobi’s own edition of this unique dining experience that will take place over a number of weekends starting from March 14th. The event will run on Friday and Saturday nights and will occasionally feature guest chefs from various restaurants. Enjoy the best that Jiko’s kitchen has to offer in a way you never have before.
