I loooove fish, tilapia, and I cant have it anywhere else in CBD apart form Ranalo formerly Kosewe. The traditional vegetables are done well and the fish comes to the table hot. Good to have with family and friends.

I like this place because the food is cooked the right way and delicious too, very natural no spices. It made me remember my late grand mother as she cooked very good tasty food for us her grand children when we visited her.

The food is excellent and attracts even tourists from other parts of the world. There is also a pub with various brands of Quality Kenyan beer. A variety of wine is also available. Its not crowded and you could run into some of the Kenyan celebrities there.

Kenya has a rich ethnic back ground with rich ethnic foods. If you want to eat out without worrying too much about the waist line...this is the place to eat. Very tasty foods.

If you want to eat fresh water fish in Nairobi, especially Tilapia, this the place to go to. You will enjoy fresh Kenyan delicacies and it is worth the visit. The staff are friendly and the service is fast.

Great place to try true Kenyan fare and great prices. Choices are served up quickly and everything arrives hot. Try the tilapia, goat, wet beef, ugali and kale are an all around delicious experience. Wash it down with a Tuskers and you have a perfect evening. Music is a little loud in the dining area if you want to talk,... More
