Whatever you do you need to visit this place on a Thursday. It's salsa night where the vibes are just oozing out of individuals as the work week gets to a close. People are all over the dance flow having a ball of a time. The service here might be an issue as it does get packed. You might want to come a little early to get good seats. Expect to be there till the early hours.

Are at several different spots and together had an ‘around the world meal’. Food was great and the small shops were so cute. Highly recommend especially with kids! Being a history teacher my favorite part were the bathrooms with strong African women and historical facts!

This beautiful place offers a vibrant, casual dining experience inspired by popular street food flavours with a creative, modern twist. The setting is relaxed and welcoming, with bold décor and a lively atmosphere that makes it a great choice for casual lunches, weekend hangouts, or a fun dinner with friends or family. The menu focuses on street food favourites elevated with quality ingredients and thoughtful presentation think loaded fries, grilled wraps, spicy wings, fusion bowls, and other hearty bites packed with flavour. Portions are generous, flavours are bold without being overwhelming, and the drinks selection complements the food well, with refreshing beverages and cocktails on offer. #EatOutApproved!

What a wonderful place to visit in Nairobi. I had a great experience and time seeing the different vendors. Seeing what they did with recycled buildings and products was just incredible.

Decent variety of meal options. We had some Indian food, which was a little underwhelming. We also seemed to go on a very quiet night, which meant that there was not much of a vibe. Good option for an outing though.
