Sierra Brasserie delivers a refined dining experience with a modern, relaxed vibe. The décor blends exposed brick and wood with soft lighting and chic furnishings, creating an ambience that works equally well for a casual lunch, a date night, or a relaxed dinner with friends. Indoor and outdoor seating options offer flexibility, and there’s a calm but lively energy throughout. The menu focuses on expertly cooked steaks, gourmet burgers and well prepared mains, along with thoughtful sides and desserts. Their rib eye steaks, burgers especially the Wagyu Boran and bacon cheese options and seafood dishes are often praised for portion size, flavour, and presentation. A curated drinks list and attentive, friendly staff round off the experience. #EatOutApproved

Excellent lunch: lamb and braised beef. Sauces were exquisite. Glazed carrots amazing and rice particularly aromatic. We’ll come back!

🥩 Restaurant Review: Sierra Brasserie, Yaya Centre – My Forever Steak Spot! 🍷✨ If you know me well, then you know where to find me when I’m craving the perfect steak. Sierra Brasserie, 3rd floor Yaya Centre, Kilimani — this is THE place. 🔥 I’ve probably been here more than 20 times with my wife, kids, sisters, mum — it’s a family affair every time. And why? Two words: Angus Ribeye 😮💨🙌 ➡️ Cooked to absolute perfection — every single time. Whether I ask for medium-rare (my go-to) or my wife’s preference of medium-to-well, the chef nails it without fail. 🎯 Not once have they gotten it wrong. Respect to that grill master! 👨🏽🍳🔥 🍔 The Wagyu burger? Juicy. Rich. Deeply satisfying. 🐔 Chicken wings, Szechuan squid, duck, basil salad, rump steak — tried them all, loved them all. Sierra has never dropped the ball. ✅ 🍷 The wine list is small but mighty — always hits the right notes with my palate. ✨ Ambience? Cozy, classy, and intimate — a little dim for those IG photo moments 📸, but perfect for date nights, quiet family dinners, or just spoiling yourself. 💡 Pro tip: You can chill at the cocktail bar on the 2nd floor while you wait for your table. Stylish, calm vibes — perfect for a pre-dinner sip 🍸🥂 🚗 Parking? Secure and reliable, though it’s paid (about $0.50/hr). 🙋🏽♂️ The staff? Friendly, informed, and always accommodating. 🔻 My only mini-rant — that Covid-style hand wash basin at the entrance is giving 2020 vibes 🚿😅, and the washrooms could definitely use a facelift 🛠️. Let the décor match the food! Also... please bring back the mushroom sides — I still dream about them 🍄😭 But all in all? 💯 Sierra Brasserie is a steak lover’s haven. I’ve kept coming. I’ll keep coming. Loyal for life. ❤️🥩 ⸻ 👉🏽 Have you been? What’s your favourite dish there?

The service was excellent from start to finish. We had a great waiter. The atmosphere is great too. It's a fabulous place to have dinner, drinks, and any small function. For starters, we tried the chicken wings, which were really good. They were tasty and filling. We tried the squid, which was excellent. It came with 2 types of sauces. For the main course we had the braised lamb accompanied with risotto rice and greens. While the lamb was really nice, tender and well cooked, the Risotto was rather salty. The greens were very good. The bacon cheese burger was really good. Next time that's what I will order. For dessert we had creme brulee. It was good too. The bill was dear too. 😁 Sierra Brasserie is a place l would visit again!

I enjoyed my visit here. The food is really well made. The ambience is soothing and relaxed. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The wagyu burger has made my list of burgers to try in Nairobi😃.
