About

Ethiopian coffee ceremony at the entrance, smooth jazz, and Somali food that regulars swear is the best in Nairobi. Margaret the waitress will guide you to the masala fries and cheeseburger, but plan time—they cook everything fresh to order.

    Very nice and calm place. Delicious food and great service. Very chill to just sit around for a while. Vegetarian options available.

    Beautiful little coffee place hidden in Kilimani. Very nicely set up. Enjoyed the Ethiopian coffee brewing display right at the entrance. The staff are friendly as well. There's different types of seating areas in case one needs a little more privacy. The popcorn and incense that came with our coffee were a nice touch. Injera prices are slightly higher than at your usual spot, but I'm guessing the vibe and location is why. They also sell packaged coffee for take-away. A good place to get some work done or bond with friends over coffee and food if you like.

    Nice spot for breakfast, a little quiet and peaceful atmosphere. I liked the wooden decorations that make it feel cozy. Simple place but worth visiting.

    Kesh Kesh is one of my go-to spots. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the service is excellent. Margaret, our waitress, was incredibly kind and made us feel welcome. The Masala fries and cheeseburger were to die for. I often come here for breakfast, and their Somali food is some of the best I’ve had. The restaurant is in a prime location, and both the dining area and bathrooms are always very clean. Definitely a place worth visiting.

    Veggie wrap was excellent! Ambiance was amazing with smooth jazz and nature based environment. Very comfortable and great quality service. Only critique is they freshly serve so plan your time accordingly. Worth every moment. I had the opportunity to meet the owners and they were very professional and handle everything directly and with balance.
