They have the best swahili dishes in Nairobi town. Loved their pilau. For those who love 'mabuyu/baobab candy and also In need of sesame oil, they got the best too and at affordable prices'

In this restaurant everyone is welcome regardless of where you come from. The foods available here are affordable to evryone and at fair prices. The waiters who offers service to you are very hospitable and there are no delays when you make your order. The restaurant is well ventilated and there are fans which makes sure the temperatures in there are always cool.

Amazing Authentic Swahili Breakfast, The Mahamri and Coco beans reminded me of the Coast Delicacy … you should also try the Malindi Special tea … with Love from Canada. A must visit when back in Nairobi.

I had a sumptuous lunch...fish prepared with coconut milk...a twist of lemon and accompanying veges. The taste was perfect. The ugali was excellent. The service was beyond my expectation..the owner actually came to inquire of my views.I rarely go downtown now being from out of town; so I brand this the *Super Nairobian Treat*

Would definitely go back! The biriyani, pilau, juices and mabuyu was really tasty and filling. The service was really friendly, telephone number works and the address is in the right place.
