Edgar Obare humbly thanks Artcaffe day after restaurant saga that nearly claimed his life
Edgar Obare’s lunch day out during the weekend turned into shambles after having a seafood delicacy that saw him fight for his life soon after.
The popular Internet sensation was having a catch-up with one of his good friends and opted for Artcaffe restaurant, Capital Centre where he ordered the prawns tagliatelle.
An hour later, the lad was running all over from the bathroom to the restaurant’s counter to the balcony, trying to contain his scratchy throat that felt like it was tearing up, a blocked nose and closed up throat with his neck persistently itchy.

The service was pretty bad to the extent that no one paid attention to him or even attended to his needs. This saw his face and eyes all swell up that forced him an admission into hospital late in the night.
Message of gratitude
Roughly a day later, the kid is doing superbly excellent with a recent photo of him after the swelling went down completely but still on medication. However, he went ahead to pen down words of gratitude to Artcaffe’s management after a chat with its General Manager yesterday morning.
Talked with the @artcaffekenya General manager Yarden this morning. And she was concerned and sincere in taking this as a learning experience for them on how to handle such emergencies. She apologized for that experience which I accepted and I am grateful they are willing to work on steps to be better prepared for such emergencies.

Further revealing that the restaurant was open to list all ingredients that were part of the dish as he works with Nairobi Hospital to get to the bottom of his allergic reaction. Wrapping up;
This was a unique situation, telling this story was not about blaming anyone. It’s about all of us being better prepared in emergencies. I appreciate that Artcaffe is taking some responsibility and showed willingness to change for the better. Thank you ????
His statements raised a myriad questions about what actually transpired, with cryptic responses sent his way. Have a look:
