Gwandumi: That sounds sensational! What’s your favourite dish here?

decide! But I always order grilled chicken. It was the first thing
I tried when I moved to this area, and I have been hooked ever
since!
Gwandumi: I’m definitely trying that. This place looks nice! What’s the

atmosphere usually like? Is it always this crowded?
Naila: It was quieter last week, but it seems a little busier today. People
are coming in and going out. The place has become quite popular
recently.
Gwandumi: That’s great! I think I will enjoy it here. I haven’t been to a lot of
places like this before.
Naila: You will definitely enjoy it! By the way, how long have you been in
town?
Gwandumi: I moved here last month, so I’m still exploring new places. I have

visited a few local spots, but this is my first time here.
Naila: Well, I’m glad you chose to try this one! I’m sure you will come
back often.
Gwandumi: Thanks for the recommendation, Naila. I’ll order exactly what you
suggested!
Naila: No problem! The food here is always fantastic. I’ll order the same.
