About

The authentically African food is tasty and well-presented, drinks are solid, and the variety of seating — open-air, semi-tented, or glass-paned indoors — works for every mood. Kids love the trampoline and green gardens with projector animations, and the spacious, clean toilets full of mirrors are a bonus. Service can be slow and inconsistent, so manage expectations.

A beautiful and quiet place... Good for a chill day especially. Not much human traffic to this place. Food was super! Their parking is good. I especially loved the serenity. Just past Ruai bypass, its...

The place was initially good. But dropped down its standard. Poor service and kitchen orders. You ask for e.g dry fry chicken, they bring deep fried chicken. Very disappointed. Not going there again.

Nice and cozy for mature audiences seeking to relax or meet. Food is great and the place offers a wide variety of reasonably priced drinks.
