    This is a place I've known for many years. The service is still good and the food well served and tasty. I had the chefs filled and it was yummy 😋

    Eating this meal felt like being in an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. The pizza is frozen supermarket pizza. Absolutely vile. If you can't be bothered making real pizza, take it off the menu. The vege dumpling things were burnt to the point of charcoal and were literally inedible. It looks like they need to remove 80% of the items on their menu and foccus on doing a handful of items well.

    One of my favourite restaurants in Nakuru. It's inside the Gilanis Supermarket building. If you are up for Indian food and friendly service right in town then this is a place to come to. I love their chapati fee of oil. Quite delicious with a plate of lentils or even chicken stew. Very friendly staff as well

    Was very hungry, so forgot to take pics of food which was overall good but with an apparent intended low sodium content in all the curry dishes. Well definitely come back. PS. The location is a bit offputting( parking is on the road and traffic can be a nightmare)

    This restaurant in the middle of the town is very spacious. They sell a wide variety of dishes and drinks and service is moderately fast. The restaurant is fairly clean, the staff helpful and security is ok. Conference facilities for small group meetings are available at a fee as are exclusive dining facilities.
