About

The restaurant slowly rotates 360 degrees on the 24th floor, giving you every angle of Nairobi while you eat. The grilled calamari is incredible, servings are bigger than expected, and Joram and Serah take exceptional care of you — book this for anniversaries and special occasions.

    Everything was absolutely magical. The hostess Serah was a superb host and we greatly appreciated her incredible customer service skills. Could not recommend her more. All the food was great as well. We had Arancini balls for starters, Pork ribs, Grilled Calamari(Absolutely incredible), Mocktails and a Coffee. Every dish was a hit out of the park. Just sublime. Our waiter was also good. Keep it up!

    The food was a delight. And the servings were bigger than we expected. The View on the 24th floor and the 360° spin made the evening even more special. Lastly, our server, Joram, was attentive and very quick to accommodate our requests. I had also requested they bake a cake for my friend and it was decorated beautifully and tasted great! I would recommend the experience at least once for everyone :)

    The View at Mövenpick offers an elegant rooftop dining experience defined by panoramic city views and a calm, upscale atmosphere. The space is modern and thoughtfully designed, creating a relaxed yet refined setting that works well for sunset drinks, intimate dinners, or special occasions where ambience plays a key role. The menu features a well curated selection of international dishes, grilled mains, light plates, and desserts, all prepared with attention to flavour and presentation. Portions are satisfying, and the food pairs well with a strong drinks menu that includes cocktails, wines, and non-alcoholic options. #EatOutApproved!

    Is it worth it? Personal preferences apply! .. So its our 3rd anniversary so me and wifey decide to so some fine dining for a change. I essentially was just interested with the experience and also understand how the wall and floor of the restaurant move. Parking is very secure Easy to access. Food portion was okay if you are not super starving. The food was well done, atleast by my standards. I'd recommend a reservation for dinner especially if its a weekend. The service was great and the staff are present and very responsive. Ambience is EVERYTHING at the View-Movenpick so I'd say the money spent is 70% paying for the ambience. .. Would I visit again?? Definitely 😁

    Dining at The View is such a memorable experience! The restaurant slowly rotates, giving you a full 360° panoramic view of Nairobi. You get to enjoy every angle of the city — all while seated comfortably and watching the scenery change around you. It’s especially magical in the evening when the city lights come on. The food is absolutely delicious — beautifully presented, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried was fresh and well-balanced, and the portions were just right. The service really stood out too — the staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive without being intrusive. They make you feel valued from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave. Whether you’re celebrating something special, entertaining visitors, or just want to treat yourself to a unique dining experience, The View is the perfect spot. Between the rotating view, the amazing food, and the excellent service, it’s truly one of Nairobi’s gems.
