About

The pizza might be the best you've ever had, and the Italian-inspired ambience is 11/10. Burger's great if there's footy on, but be warned: when it's slow, two hours to serve two dishes isn't unheard of.

Carnivore Restaurant Nairobi: The Honest Review (2026)

KES 4,800 for all-you-can-eat meat carved tableside with Maasai swords. Carnivore is touristy, overpriced by local standards, and absolutely worth doing once. Here's what to actually expect.

We went to the Tavern for the bar and it surely impressed us. We then tried the restaurant and the food didn't disappoint either. Great ambience, good environment and general awesome place.

Unfortunately a very poor experience during our visit there: we visited the Tavern for dinner and we were the only guests. Nevertheless it took the restaurant 2 hours to serve our food (we only ordere...

Nice spot! Awesome aesthetic and the staff were nice enough to put the game on for us! Burger was great. And their Tusker special is great if there’s some footy on!⚽️

Moorish design, very beautiful. Quiet spot with lovely ambience. Lovely setting at the rooftop especially on a sunny day. Delicious food and drinks. The salads are quite good but very little portions.
