Most unique experience- no menu card or online menu. The choice is minimal and the taste is absolutely fantastic! Authentic African cuisine. Tried the dry and wet beef and both top class!

Not only is the food fantastic, fast, and affordable, but the service goes above and beyond. Each time I’ve come, I’ve been treated with such warmth and hospitality. The staff genuinely care to give you a good experience and have gone out of there way to do so. Highly recommend grabbing an outdoor table for lunch.

Our guide brought us to this restaurant after a walking tour in CBD Nairobi, this was truly my first authentic Kenyan food restaurant. If you want to try the real traditional Kenyan food come to this place, as it is more of a local place they don’t have a written menu which didn’t bother me as it is part of the experience. I tried dry fish with ugali, how it works : you go upstairs sit in the table the waiter tell you the options of meat they have and side dishes and you choose.
