If you happen to have dinner at Olpul— the new steakhouse in Two Rivers— you might see a lady occasionally schmoozing with patrons; asking about the wine or the steak or if everybody is having a swell time. Bright smile, massive wit. That will be the proprietor Mary-Ann Musangi.
She’s great with people and she’s also learning to be great at being a restaurateur. Olpul— a Maasai name meaning ‘celebration’— is her second restaurant; she also owns Secret Garden, a continental restaurant cafe in 14- Riverside Drive, Nairobi. A little over five years ago she didn’t know much about restaurants.
