    Last evening I ordered the strawberry crumble cake through uber from this branch for our breakfast this morning. However, on opening it up this morning to serve; the cake is undercooked and the flour is still sticking on the box from the images. This was to be the sweet Friday morning treat for everyone but lack of care of product quality for the sake of making sales is extremely disappointing, yet it’s the new branch of the area. I expected great service being the new restaurant in the area.

    The sunny sombrero was flavourful! Loved the sweet and spicy mix of sausage and plantains. It was super filling as well I carried half the wrap home.

    Excellent restaurant! The chicken and fish plates were delicious. The portion size wasn’t very large, which is the only downside for me. The cake was tasty but quite big for two people. The iced coffee latte was excellent. Overall, a great spot for expats who are not used to Kenyan spices.
