- Ratimo A.Google review · 7 Dec 2025
I love visiting this restaurant I am in Nairobi. Its very chic, viby, albeit a small space. It has a kinda chaotic feel about it and perhaps that's by design. The wait staff get to you quickly although I don't know if they are all trained to look non-chalant. They are all quite young though. The offerings are mostly fast food focused so if you are looking for healthy options, you won't find it here. The decor is modern and creative and love their music selection. Great for an evening date or meetup or perhaps even during the day. The small spaces can be annoying. If you sitting on the edge of a bench most likely you will have to stand to let others out or in. Their prices are comparably to most fast food joints in town and sometimes they have offers on burgers etc.

A quietly tucked away hidden gem in town. This space is so small n cozy, perfect for small meetups with a friend or 2 .. the interior decor makes up for its size incorporating greenery and warm woods and lighting. Now to the food. I had their LOADED FRIES for 650 bob(w chicken) to-go and I was pleased. It contained fries, chicken strips, bell peppers and onions in oyster sauce, n cheese. It weirdly tasted like pizza. 😋 Service was really good, the tall lightskin gentleman was kind and served me quickly. Also side note; the veins on his arm were an added bonus 😅🤐 And yeah. I'm definitely going there for some catchups with friends soon. Especially during happy hour which i believe is 4.30 pm to 7pm. 🫰🏾❣️

I love mint and salt. It's a quant space. Their ambience is on point. They have tried to do a lot with their space and it's turned out beautiful. They have added a glassy, sheltered outdoor space which has made it better in terms of seating space. I ordered the Peppermint mocha which tasted amazing. The presentation was really good. Service was prompt and didn't take longer than they had stated (15 minutes). I also had their fish fingers and fries and it was so filling, that I couldn't finish up my portion. Their wait staff were kind but mostly very curt which might come off as snobby especially when interacting with a client. Overally, it's an amazing place and I would visit again.
