About

Food's prepared fresh as you wait, portions are solid, and it's tucked off the Ruai Bypass so you're not dealing with traffic noise. Good spot to watch football with affordable drinks and decent security. No pool or playground, just straightforward eating and hanging out.

    Food is good It's prepared as you wait. Except for fast foods. The service is okay. Not too slow. The atmosphere is ok. Situated at the Ruai Bypass, it's abit hidden away and doesn't catch much of the noise. There is no swimming pool or other attractions
