Customer Reviews
The food is tasty. I had the honour to taste Mark Zuckerberg’s favorite dish and indeed it is delicious ! Kenyan cuisine is the best!
This was a birthday lunch date treat. At first, both of us hadn't realised that the Westlands branch was permanently closed down, so we tried our luck there, then proceeded to Marcus Garvey Rd. Since we came in later, not your usual lunch hour, the atmosphere was a bit relaxed. The waitresses were cordial and courteous as always. The food, which was the reason for the visit, was over the bar. Can't quite remember the dish name as per the menu, but you can never go wrong with this choice. The kids menu wasn't clear to us so we got our LO company some fries and we shared our fishes with her. We all enjoyed our stay as well as our meal. Erokamano Mama Oliech kod Ochieng
The place is famous for their fish. But their prices are outrageous, down right insulting. I was there last year and they already had the most expensive dry fry fish dish in nairobi. This year they charged me double. 1850 kes for a fried fish with a chapati (flat bread). I could have eaten expensive imported sushi at a much nicer establishment. This place is a hole in the wall, and they charge like its the Hilton. Maybe they pulled out a special menu for foreigners to overcharge them. But that makes it even worse.
Worst place I have ever been to !!! prices were very high and I realized because I took the menu from the people from the next table and they had another price (half of the menu they gave me) totally avoid this place such a scam never again!!!
