On 23rd of May 2015, the dining in the dark experience will make its inception in Nairobi, Kenya at the Tribe Hotel. Termed “Gizani” – Kiswashili for “in the dark” – the event will be a fine dining experience held in complete darkness, assisted by visually impaired staff. Capital Fm reported.
According to gizani.com, Gizani will offer an interactive journey into the invisible. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic meal but without actually seeing the food or the surrounding environment. They will rely entirely on the servers’ clues to awaken their sense of taste, smell, touch, and hearing.
The concept is inspired by the well-known enterprise “Dans le Noir” in Paris and been successfully reproduced in upscale restaurants throughout the world since 2002.
Gizani’s founder, Abdul Kamara, visually impaired since 2008, is committed to bring a similar experience to the forefront of the African scene, finding momentum in the fast growing cosmopolitan Nairobi context.
Gizani will show you how to savor the food experience from a different perspective. The exaltation of taste, the allure of fragrance, the sensuality of textures and the pure joy of conversation and music are all parts of the most basic everyday enjoyment.
