The atmosphere is superb. The waitress however took over an hour to attend to me. Dont know if theyre generally that slow or it was a bad day. Asked fr a cocktail after food she just dissapeared fr two hour only to enquire later to be told they did not have ingredients. She should have told me and i would have switched but no she just kept MIA.

The Aura was amazing... the decor, staff and the cup of coffee i took was delicious 👌🏾

Surprisingly nice breakfasts. This place is a bit hidden, and not something you easily stumble across by coincidence. If you are in Kilimani and looking for a wide range of breakfast options with good coffee, then I can recommend this. Don’t try it if you’re in a hurry, though, because these guys are not even pretending to offer fast food!

Honestly, I’ve become a regular here because of their affordable meals and drinks and their customer service. The waiters are very friendly and prompt.

Amazing place. I loved the music, the availability of heaters/warmers, the placement of the TV screens with each showing different programs and also how the seating booths are designed so as to give diners plenty of privacy. In terms of service, the waitresses were friendly, courteous and knew how to be available while still giving one enough personal space to peruse the menu etc. Food-wise, I wanted a quick bite so I ordered the chicken, cheese and tomato sandwich which was totally delectable! It was served on perfectly toasted brown bread with a side portion of well-seasoned and crispy fries and a salad. Sadly, I didn't get to satisfy my sweet tooth because they didn't have any desserts just yet but I look forward to trying them, as well as their cocktails/wines, on my next visit. This is definitely a great addition to the mall!
