Ranked in Best Casual Dining in CBD
About
Prompt and friendly service with well-cooked, delicious food that's really affordable. Nice place with decent food served very quickly in less than 5 minutes. The ginger tea and kebabs are great, and they even serve traditional Kenyan breakfast with nduma. The ambience in the evening is very cooled down.
