About

Now called Utamu under new management, this chill spot serves 254 beers on tap and a meat-focused menu that's well-prepped and tasty. The kuku platter (KES 2,500) looks small but fills two people, and the outdoor lawn is perfect for sundowners. Just wave someone down — service can be slow.

    This place has been renamed by new managei. Now Utamu. Great place to unwind, shallow menu only offering meat as a main dish but well prepped and tasty. On the plus side they serve 254 beers on tap.

    I enjoyed my afternoon. Nice background music, ambiance, clean toilets and customer service was quick. We had the kuku platter which was ksh. 2500 and the portion looked small but we didn't even clear the plate. The place is also picturesqueand aesthetic.👌🏾

    Located along Muthaiga Rd. There is lovely greenery and beautiful spaces. The staff was polite over New Years. Food was delicious, and beer was in plenty. The DJ? Y'all... It was lit. 5/5

    Lovely place only if they can improve on their service. We waited for close to 20mins before being noticed. The outdoor sitting is good to catch sundowner. Nice manicured lawn. The dangling flower decor inside looks amazing💖
