Okapi Kitchen — Restaurant in Blaby

One of my new fave breakfast places🫶🏻

Okapi Kitchen is such a hidden gem! Located in Blaby Golf Centre, this new restaurant is a must visit. Serving breakfast, lunch, and tapas, there’s no way you can be stuck for choice.

We have visited twice for breakfast and both times I was delighted by the incredible food served. I have tried the Okapi Breakfast as well as the Fully Loaded Ciabatta. Both were cooked to perfection and you could tell that the ingredients used were of a high quality.

For drinks, I first had an iced hazelnut latte and the second time I had a peach iced tea. Both drinks were so tasty with no faults!

I am definitely intrigued about their lunch and tapas menu, so will be visiting at some point to try those out! I’ve heard good things about the pizza🍕👌🏼.

Having the restaurant located in the golf centre also makes for a great time out! Our most recent visit followed a round of crazy golf on the Congo River Crazy Golf Course! There’s nothing better than tucking into a delicious meal after a competitive round of...

Went to Okapi Kitchen as it was recommended by a co-worker. Checked their IG, looks lovely! We went in and this waitress who lead us to the table was frowning, not even smiling, and just handed us the menu. Okay, fine. Maybe she was busy. "30 mins" later, she asked if we're ready to order - we ordered 2 burgers, 1 mozzarella stick, 1 oreo and chocolate milkshake. Easy order! 40 mins - drinks hasn't come, we started to become annoyed, then another waitress served us 1 burger, 1 mozzarella stick and a falafel that we didn't order!! So I asked where are the milkshakes and the other burger. Guess what? It wasn't even put on!! I was fuming!! Hide my frustration as the other waitress was nice. So we ended up eating our burger at different times, lost my appetite and went home disappointed. I never give a bad review, but our experience at Okapi Kitchen wasn't really nice. In a restaurant - you need to be approachable as a waitress and make sure you get the right order. Hopefully, this won't happen...

I gave this restaurant 5 stars during our last visit, however had such a let down, and I think people need to know, because they don't promote it, friends came up from Harpenden for lunch, and decided to show them Okapi, on arrival they give you a menu 1 Breakfast 2 Lunch 3 Drinks and on the front some Breakfast menu for Sundays, only once we were ready to order lunch at 1-45 sorry we only do Breakfast on Sundays, why then give me a menu that has Lunch, please make people aware that you do NOT do lunch on Sundays, unfortunately we had to walk out, with a waitress who had attitude, only to find another venue, I'm sorry but if you want to stay in business, you either make patrons aware your kitchen closes at 12 on Sundays and not offer me a Breakfast at 1-45pm or say the kitchen is closed on Sundays and you only serve drinks and maybe ready made toasties. Unfortunately should you continue the way you are, you will close down. Such a pity because it is really a nice restaurant and fitted out so...
