The best service in town

I didn't expect to have such high level of service in Kenya to be honest! We had 7 vegan course meal that we booked 3 days in advance and I was extremely impressed. The ambiance was cozy, food was tasty, and the service was amazing. The servers and chefs always explained what the ingredients were each time they served food and we could see how much they try to source the ingredients locally and be creative with the menu. It's definitely pricy but was totally worth it. Just make sure to wear long sleeves as there are quite a few mosquitos ;)

Creative, inspired, delicious. Great staff.

I went with my family on Christmas Day. Reservations are required, so we had booked 3 vegan meals in advance. We took the 7-course option, which featured a wide variety of flavours and textures, including, fruits, edible flowers, savoury and umami tastes. The menu on that day was a creative version of traditional foods from around Kenya made with fully vegan ingredients. The attention to detail and customer service was excellent. This is the only place in Nairobi that I have experienced this level of customer service in a restaurant.
