Ro-Ro Restaurant
Ranked in Best Casual Dining in Embakasi
About
The best option in the airport food court — go for the chilli garlic chicken or the chilli paneer, both made to order. They serve halal meals and it's surprisingly authentic for an airport, though service can be slow during off-hours.

Very slow service for an airport - waited over 30mins. Dishes came one at a time with the last over 40mins later. Portions were small given the $15 price per dish. And to top it off, food was not good or authentic either. Avoid

exceptional food considering the location! forget the other restaurants in jomo kenyata airport terminal 1A. Ro-ro Chinese is the place to be. We had the chilli paneer and the bhajiya which were both great and made to order

I didn't take pictures of the food but I was so surprised at how authentic their food was. The Chinese was amazing. We had the chilli garlic chicken and a chicken fried rice. My daughter had the daal fry and rice. Seriously impressed by their food. By far the best place to eat in the airport! Fully halal. Seating available. And the staff are so friendly, polite and welcoming!

I had a fantastic dining experience at Roro Chinese Restaurant in Nairobi Airport. The service was outstanding—fast, efficient, and friendly. What truly sets this restaurant apart is that they offer halal meals, which is crucial for many travelers, including myself. The food was delicious and well-prepared, making it a perfect stop before or after a flight. I highly recommend Roro Chinese Restaurant to anyone passing through Nairobi Airport. It’s a must-try!

Located inside the airport food court (airside).Considering i was ordering at 3am in the morning the food came quickly and was hot. I'm still wondering how it got made so quickly. Soup was tasty and filling. The price is set in USD and he had to use a calculator to give the KES price. I found this interesting.
