The Node, Westlands, Nairobi
Ranked in Best Casual Dining in Westlands
About
A polite, helpful staff with lovely ambience created by keen incorporation of plants into the space. It feels and smells fresh like dining outside in a garden — the food is delicious, though a bit pricey, and the place has been beautifully face-lifted from its Pizza Garden days.

They have done a good job face lifting the place from what we formally knew as pizza garden. The place is now serene and the ambience is amazing. Delicious food too but too pricey.

Polite helpul staff. Lovely ambience especially with the keen incorporation of plants into the space. Feels and smells so fresh and good to be in. You constantly feel as if you are dining outside in a nice ornamental garden yet somehow you are still "indoors". Wonderful green architecture 🙌🏾🤝🏾 more of such in hotel spaces please 🙌🏾🤝🏾

Pleasant English breakfast. The bread was a bit too crumbly, and the beans were quite dry, but other than that it was nice. Not sure what the green vegetable was doing there (maybe spinach?) but at least it's healthy. Nice touch giving a tea pot and two tea bags instead of the usual one mug, and nice assortment of fruits at the end of the meal.

This place is a little heaven here on earth. Starting with the ambiance, it suits couples, families and even groups of friends. I counted two separate bars and ENOUGH screens to watch football. The restaurant has a pretty outdoor and indoor setup. Now, the food was amazing! We ordered starters which were more generous than expected. The main dishes were well done with flavours to compliment the appearance. You MUST try their pizza, best I've eaten in 2019. Cocktails are great too especially on happy hour (5-8pm) hehe

Meals very much continental with a touch of local. The garden space is lovely and so is the seating places. I love the indoor- outdoor feel of the place. Nice to meet and have meals. The deco is standard and so is the service. The price is on the high side of nairobi.
