About

This place is AWESOME. Food is 10/10, views and vibes are 10/10, and there's an independent movie theatre showing cool films. Great for working during the day or hanging with friends at night — the beef steak sandwich and Vietnamese roll are highly recommended.

    Unseen provides a uniquely warm rooftop atmosphere, making it great place to catch up with friends after a long day at work/school/wherever you spend your day. I came for the film at their intimate cinema, and stayed for the wonderful service (thanks, Patrick!) and drinks.

    Super nice place with gorgeous views over the city. It’s very relaxed and gives a hipster vibe with the independent movie theatre in the back. Very nice place for a meetup with friends.

    Been visiting for years. Still one of my favorite places in nbo. Lovely place to work, chill with friends and watch the cinema. Great views. Highly recommend the beef steak sandwich and Vietnamese rolls :)).

    One of Nairobi’s hidden gems. Has an excellent view of the city from above. Highly recommend the steak sandwich and the crispy Korean chicken. They also show movies in their cinema at 7pm and 9pm. Always ask what’s showing, it might interest you.
