Customer Reviews
What a gem in Nairobi. We were a group of 6 who came to the restaurant for dinner. The service was excellent and the food even greater! I would definitely return when I am back in Nairobi. We started with the goats cheese samosas, the had the Chinese Chili beef, Duck, Steak, the Beef Cheacks special and ended with ice cream and a baked pudding. Every single dish was tasty and generous. Alfonso was also an excellent waiter.
Excellent little indoor/outdoor spot outside downtown Nairobi on the way back from the Giraffe Center. Good food and service for an afternoon meal.
Lovely venue and attentive service. The food was very good and we enjoyed some excellent cocktails. It was a busy restaurant that was running smoothly and we had a very enjoyable experience
My husband ordered Prawn Tempura starter and found a chunk of fiber/hair/? Inside it! We called the waiter who took it immediately and as we were disgusted we cancelled our main course immediately and requested for the bill. Imagine the prawn tempura was charged!!!as well as my glass of untouched red wine(1000+ kes) for the main course!!!! We were then obliged to fight for the prawns to be removed from the bill. No consideration of what happened at the time of payment. It’s our worst experience of food poisoning and extremely rude customer service. Unfortunately we had no time to take a picture of what we found.
