Why Travelers Love Nairobi Street
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Decent variety of meal options. We had some Indian food, which was a little underwhelming. We also seemed to go on a very quiet night, which meant that there was not much of a vibe. Good option for an outing though. This is arguably the most fun place in Nairobi, at least among those that we visited during our weekly trip there. The place is a remodeled loft with all the hipster vibe that comes with these words. It has many local food and item vendors, a big open terrace, a proper dance floor, and a functioning nightclub on the second floor. The atmosphere is top-notch, created by a mixture of local flexers and expats. As for food, we tried a little bit from four different corners, no complaints! Can especially compliment the Al Pastor tacos – finger-licking good! The drinks menu is super big, be sure you'll find something there. Overall, super good place, strongly recommend! It was amazing, the weather was good and the vibe was top notch. The place itself gave a nice vibe, very vibrant with great ambience,a very aesthetic place with good food and music.

It’s a 4.5 star but rounded down. The atmosphere is pretty great. Some ppl will deservedly say 5 star and that’s fair. Food is good but hard to meet expectations (I tried FOUR items and fifth of one small item). I picked the Siam fried rice and it’s a good 3.5 star. If the sliced Chili’s carried a bit more heat and the wok could generate a higher heat, maybe 4 star. I’d add a pinch of salt as well. The wings and chips/fries were good. I’ll be generous and give it a 4 star. I tried ordering the curry wings and he didn’t have it. He recommended bbq, but I went with the first item on the list—- a little sweet and spicy. The fries? Very enjoyable so 4-4.5 star. I tried a bit of the curry from Desi and based on that bite, 4-5 star. It’s very good but also hard to figure where exactly based on one bite. As for the hazelnut coffee, 3.5 star. Good, a bit sweet for me and light on the actual coffee (flavor), which seems to be a common thread in all of Kenya. The physical area? 5 star. I enjoyed the dozen plus options to eat and order drinks from. Cool layout and design and there is a notice that no photography is allowed so here are two pics.

The experience was great. And the food was greater. I loved the atmosphere here, perfect for a night out with your friends. And there's also plenty of selection when it comes to menus and restaurants. The atmosphere is energetic, and apparently, people there don't get tired of dancing😅 On the downside, I found the waitstaff to be quite slow. Anyways, I would 100% recommend.
