About

The four-course meals here are what Nairobi's diplomat circles talk about — chef-owner comes out to explain dishes, portions are generous, and the rustic courtyard gets magical at sunset. Staff bring chalk for kids while parents order wine, and the flavor combinations feel like Nairobi's best-kept secret. Reservations required, worth the hunt to find it.

    The best meal I have eaten in 12 years! The location can be a challenge to find for some but the restaurant rewards you with an amazing ambiance that only gets better as the evening progresses and the sun goes down. The staff is wise and courteous above and beyond what I have experienced prior in the region. I would eat here on my anniversary (if we don't travel elsewhere!) And I can see why it is a favorite of the diplomat community in Nairobi. Just call and they will help you have a exquisite evening! Reservations are a must! It is not a large place but it certainly is not cramped as the space is used perfectly. The staff provided street chalk for our children to enjoy themselves as we order and had coversation over the excellent wine. The food coming out of the kitchen hints at magic being done!! I was overwhelmed by the variety of fantastic flavors I experienced with every course. The portions were generous and we left full and happy! I will do my utmost to return before I depart the region. I hope all who read this make a point to eat there at least once in thier lifetime. Fantastic experience all around!!

    We had an amazing four-course lunch at 45 Degrees Kitchen - this is now my favourite restaurant in Nairobi! Each course was very tasty, made with fresh ingredients, and well presented. The restaurant has a charming, rustic, non-pretentious vibe. And the staff are friendly. Overall, very good value for money. If you like good food, you will not be disappointed. Next time we'll try the wine pairing.
