Hob house Mediterranean restaurant was a great experience. Authentic taste of Lebanon served, from starters, main course , drinks and desserts everything was quality from fresh ingredients. Star dish was the beef kebab served with a yoghurt side and wedges. Service was good as well. Average spend per person 2500/- KES.

Gone here a couple of times for food and I loved everything! From the beautiful garden, to the friendly staff and delicious food I have no complaints! Would definitely recommend trying the Oum Ali dessert especially, it tastes like a warm hug. Great for a date or even for a large group

Food was great. They have a nice wine menu, but was surprised they did not serve beer. Reading the reviews it seems that having alcohol on the menu is new but do not understand why would have wine but no beer. Strange.

Hob House is an incredible place to stay in Nairobi! We spent a week there for a yoga retreat and truly felt at home. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for a long stay. Every morning, we enjoyed a fresh and delicious breakfast with great coffee. The Lebanese restaurant is absolutely fantastic—we had dinner there every night, trying as much as possible from the menu, and everything was simply delicious! But what truly makes Hob House special is the people. The hospitality is beyond amazing—you are welcomed like family, and the warmth of the team makes the stay unforgettable. And I can't forget to mention the massage—one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Highly recommend Hob House to anyone visiting Nairobi. It’s a place filled with warmth, comfort, and exceptional hospitality!
