Good food in Nairobi

Post new topic

ip7

Hello good people,

Where are some really good places to eat here? So far, the only place where I have had really good food was Sierra, excellent steaks.

So, any suggestions? Any type of food, doesn't matter, just want to hear personal experiences instead of googling it.

thanks

Just buffets in general in Kenya, not a specific cuisine.

Hi

Pretty good sushi at Furusato in Westlands, Zen Garden on lower Kabete is also great

I also like the dinner at Le Rustique in Westlands but they only have it once a week on Wednesdays and the menu changes every week (check out the web site). It's always fully booked so make a reservation

When I have a craving for pasta I go to Mediterraneo, they have one on UN Avenue in Gigiri and one at the junction mall on Ngong road

The resturant at the Tribe hotel in Village Market is not too shabby either

Been to Furusato a few times, I love it! I am planning to visit Zen garden soon, i heard it is good.

I have to disagree with you about Le Rustique though. I have been there twice last year and it was horrible, we ordered about 5 different things each time and they were all bad. Their ever-changing menu means that if you once stumble upon a good dish there, you will probably never see it again. They are also unwilling to be flexible in terms of adding/ taking away certain things to your dish. Swore to never go back there again.

Having breakfst/brunch at Tribe is one of the nicest I have had in Kenya so far.

I agree with you about Le Rustique. I believed Tribe is very expensive but semms it's not??

It is a bit pricey,but I would not call it very expensive. It is worth it anyway,their food is very very nice.

Try the Rib i Grillz at Prestige Mall, Ngong Road.  The steaks are to die for. I had the T Bone steak and it was superb. It is a small  place but has great food. The even run a beer promo which is very unique.  Try them out.
