“ Food was wonderful - clever use of ingredients, well prepared and sets it apart from many restaurants in Nairobi. Top! I will place it as Nairobi’s 2nd best good quality food creations ! well done ! The ambience however did not do the food justice - we sat in a plastic tent ( and they proceeded to inflate a bouncy castle … really necessary ? ) - eating my amazing lamb while looking at a white plastic tent just we’ll … it’s possible to do better - other choice we were offered looked more like a school cafeteria with loud music - given we were in the middle of tea country some views of the hills, cosy comfortable chairs, maybe some art - just a bit of an ambience …. the places near the bar looked nice to sit at - but all in all seemed more like the ambience was designed for discrete bringing parties rather than fine dining - the food deserves better ! ”
“ Absolute gem of a restaurant in a beautiful location. We enjoyed farm fresh ingredients creatively combined and thoughtfully served by Steph and her incredible team. We’ll be back again and again to try everything on the menu! ”
“ I love how serene this place is. Perfect weekend getaway from the city, and they allow pets so that was a plus for me. The food was so flavourful and the portions are very filling. I particularly enjoyed the pork belly and mango starter, and the aged beef steak with potatoes. It's extremely busy on weekends so be sure to make an early reservation to avoid waiting too long for a table. That said, it's a great place to work from on weekdays as it is more quiet. If you love flowers and greenery, this is the place for you. It's also kid friendly with a lot of ground space. ”
“ It’s a very cutesy restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. The ambience is perfect. Their service is great. The food menu is very limiting but try their Korean chicken burger and thank me later The chai tiramisu was okay but I prefer the normal tiramisu. Make sure you reserve in advance coz the space is quite small. Can’t wait to be back to try more food items. Budget: Ksh 2000-3000pp ”
“ I love the ambience of this place. The services are top notch and the food is mouth watering!! The cocktails...super good I would highly recommend reservations before you go there. The waiters and waitress are friendly and even with the cold in Tigoni they offer warmers if you need one ”
“ Their steak is really great although it took time to be ready. The waitress was very friendly. The ambience was amazing considering it is Tigon. I am definitely coming back. They should consider though making ramps for the elderly and disabled. ”
“ I took my fiancé here for his birthday lunch, and everything exceeded our expectations. We had a reservation and were promptly and warmly seated by the maître d’. The service throughout was quick, friendly, and attentive. We really felt well taken care of. A special touch that stood out was when the staff brought out a complimentary cake and even sang for him, which made the occasion feel extra special though he was a bit shy from the attention, lol. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Highly recommend for a special occasion or a quality meal out! ”
