About

An unforgettable fine-dining experience where staff like Tevin create birthday magic and service is excellent — but food quality doesn't quite match the premium prices. Oysters were disappointing, though the overall experience still feels special for celebrations.

    Amazing birthday dinner and unforgettable service! We celebrated Shon’s 16th birthday at Tatu Restaurant on January 7th, and it was truly a night to remember. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond by remembering our names, guiding through the menu, and making us feel genuinely welcome. The personal touches made all the difference. For the birthday moment they sang Happy Birthday for Shon which made him feel extra special. The food was heavenly from start to finish. Highlights included: Tomahawk steak cooked to perfect tenderness and rich in flavour, a medium rare that was actually a medium rare, a rarity in most places — it was a real standout, I had the garlic prawns and loved every bit of it, even the fries were fantastic and crisp — and that’s saying something because my little one is like a littl3 connoisseur of fries cos that constitutes 90 percent of his eating out diet, so that’s a big win. The quality, flavour, and presentation was top notch. But what really set our evening apart was the genuine care from the team. They made Shon feel celebrated and made the whole family feel welcome. Definitely a place we’d return to for special occasions or a discerning dining experience. Highly recommended!

    Service is excellent. Food is good but a bit too overpriced. I expected to be blown away by the food for that price but it was just decent. Oysters were a let down, could only taste the batter. Had the ribeye with a side of mashed potatoes and asparagus. Ribeye good, mashed potatoes were flat, needed to be more creamy with a dash of salt and pepper. Most likely won’t be back because there are many places with better value for money but it was good to experience.

    We went to Tatu restaurant to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We had a pleasant experience at this amazing restaurant. Amazing service and a truly fine dinning experience. The waiter “Tevin” gave us great food recommendations, and had an amazing birthday surprise party for my husband..we will definitely repeat this experience again.

    We had an amazing evening. Our waiter, Elijah, made us feel welcome and had a few surprises for us, that made the night memorable. The food and wine was of course absolutely delicious! Can only recommend!

    My husband and I had dinner at Tatu during an evening stay at the Norfolk Fairmont hotel. The food was great and service was good. The cheese bread before the meal was warm with 2 butter options. Goat cheese app was good. My tenderloin was cooked perfectly at medium rare. We had fries to share as a side. Enjoyed the chocolate cake dessert. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice evening while in Nairobi.
