Cyndir Restaurant
Ranked in Best Casual Dining in South B
About
The nyama choma and grilled tilapia are the crowd favorites here — portions are huge, prices are fair, and the casual garden setting works for families. Service is friendly but can be slow when packed, so order drinks first. Best for weekend group lunches where everyone's sharing.

Large spacious bar and restaurant overlooking the roads and vicinity. Pleasant service and good ribs when they came. A down to earth joint definitely not plush.

I was very disappointed with the service provided at Cyndir hotel yesterday (18/4/22). The wait staff did not bring any plates or cutlery with the food, most of the evening, we had to go make our orders directly in the kitchen because the staff had practically switched off for the day even though it was within their working hours. The waiter cleared our table while we were still eating, without asking. Very disappointing, the owner should follow up and be present to see the service provided.

It's okay. Good Location at Nextgen Mall. However, maybe they can improve in customer service, but food is good and prices Fair. ❤️👌
