oyal Dine - June 2019
InterContinental wants to wish all Kenyans a happy Madaraka day! Join us with your family and friends in celebrating the day Kenya gained independence and self-governance. For 50 years, we have been a part of the Kenyan narrative and a part of Nairobi’s landscape and for 50 years we have served this country and its visitors with excellence. We are grateful to continue being a part of its legacy. “Unity cannot be taken for granted.”- Jomo Kenyatta
We would also like to wish our Muslim brothers and sisters Eid Mubarak as you mark the end of this holy month of fasting. May the day delight and dispense special joys for you to treasure, may the year ahead be fruitful too, for you, your home and family. “I wish you the gift of faith, the blessing of hope, and the peace of his love at Eid and always.”
THE TERRACE RESTAURANT
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate The wines of the month feature Israel’s finest Zinfandel Rose, Gamla Riesling, Sion and Shiraz. The Gamla White Riesling is a medium bodied Riesling that has refreshing fruit notes intermingled with characters of fresh flowers and pine forest. Try any of the wines on our Lamu Tamu Nights every Thursday or with the newly introduced spicy lemon chicken offer every Friday for all the poultry enthusiasts. Festival of Breaking the Fast Close your season of Ramadan at the Terrace with an Eid-ul-Fitr Buffet special. Breaking your final fast with family and friends at a feast in a great restaurant is the ultimate way to celebrate a season of prayer, charity and reflection. ““You will not attain righteousness till you spend in charity of the things you love.”[The Qur’an, Chapter 3, verse 92]
It is a wise father that knows his own child Father’s day is here! The Terrace knows how you can show the men and fathers in your life that you appreciate them because the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. So come over for our Father’s day Sunday buffet on Sunday the 16th and show them your appreciation with our impressive array of food options. “This is the price you pay for having a great father. You get the wonder, the joy, the tender moments - and you get the tears at the end, too.” - Harlan Coben
