Because the best dining experiences don’t just satisfy your appetite; they leave you with a reason to return.
And Now… For the Little Surprise
Here’s where the Gazette gets an unexpected twist.
At Utamu, the menu isn’t just a menu. It’s a newspaper.
Introducing the Utamu Gazette, a creative, stylish and sustainable way to explore the restaurant’s menu. Printed on recyclable paper, the Gazette adds a playful newspaper-inspired touch to the dining experience.
But the story doesn’t end when you finish reading.
Through a partnership with Green Pencil, the used Gazette paper is given a second life and transformed into pencils used during meetings and conferences at ibis Styles Nairobi Westlands.
In other words, the menu on your table today could become the pencil someone uses to write their next big idea.
A Little Creativity. A Lot of Purpose.
The Utamu Gazette brings together creativity, style and sustainability in a simple but meaningful way.
By reimagining the traditional menu and giving the paper another purpose after its first use, Utamu is turning an everyday dining detail into something useful.
It’s a small step towards reducing waste while creating something that can be used by both Heartists and guests.
So, the next time you dine at Utamu, take a moment to enjoy the Gazette. Read the menu, discover your next favourite dish and look a little closer — there is more to the story than meets the eye.
