About

Some of the best desserts around — the Kunafa waffle dessert and lamb chops will haunt you in the best way. The food is super good, quick, fresh, and not overpriced, and the masala tea with the cardamom shortbread is lovely. Fair warning: they do NOT sell alcohol.

All the deserts we had were amongst the best desserts i have had in my travels of late. I would definately recommend this hidden Gem without any hesitation. Keep up the great standards

Great place, but be aware that they do NOT sell alcohol. So no White Cap beer. The food was amazing, the waitress was worth the 2,000 KES we tipped her. In-house WI-FI.
