About

Swimming pool, barbershop, nyama choma with ugali, and Jasmine fish that one regular calls the best they've ever had. Service is wildly inconsistent — some say it's great, others say rude and useless — so maybe go with low expectations and let the fish surprise you.

    Very poor food, and extremely poor service. You could get better food on the street and even service. Avoid at all costs

  • Rass K.Google review · 20 Jul 2021

    Its a fine and clean place with well services. Its has a berbershop 'swimming pool, cafe playing grounds for both children and adults. They got a fish point (Jasmine fish) the best have ever taken just feel like visting there everyday. Nyama choma as well is being served there with with ugali. Chicken stew and choma with kienyeji , all kind of drinks are sold there soft and hard ones. Parking and car wash available don't let yourself down make your car clean thare, milk bar with fresh milk from the farm at a cheaper price :pool🎱🏊‍♂️ and many. Everything there is super cool and fine 💖. A cool place to seat and view the surroundings while taking a drink or some food. The place got nice trees around and a big enough compound. Located along Kangudo Road . Good for a bit as you go. Good for children
