Best Indian taste in Nairobi!
- Reggie G.Google review · 21 Sep 2025
Good food with a decent variety. We had the platter. Lamb chops were excellent. Quite full when we went. Service is a little slow.

A place while visiting Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, to get a taste of Indian food. The taste of the food we tried here were authentic. The food were delicious, tasty. The price was a bit on the higher side. The service was a bit slow, but we were not in a hurry, so we enjoyed the time spent here. Had an interaction with the Indian chef and he had a pleasing personality. Highly recommended during stay in Nairobi.

I don’t want to be mean, but this is nowhere close to authentic Indian food. I feel bad for the other people have not had proper Indian food and think that this is a hotspot for it. We decided to come here knowing that they have average food. Of course we regretted it when we saw the exorbitant bill. The only nice thing was the naan. The food tasted old, especially the kebabs. Why do you charge such high prices and then serve old meat? Not to mention, they have a problem whereby they raise their prices as they keep getting popular so a dish that was worth 500 in the beginning now is worth 1000. This is a good way to lose customers. Keep it up.

Absolutely fantastic 🤩 and outstanding experience at this Indian restaurant. This is what Indian food should taste like!! Ignore that bad review below. This food was out of this world. The customer service is amazing! 😍 The Chicken Corn Soup was amazing. I cannot complain anything about this restaurant. The Head Chef (Indian) came around confirming. I let him know the food was FANTASTIC 😊! It really is. I was loosing faith in Kenya restaurants and places to eat, but this place restored my faith and happiness. I will definitely visit again and I highly recommend eating outside near the grass area. It was super relaxing.
