Why Travelers Love Talisman Restaurant
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
We had an outstanding dining experience at The Talisman Restaurant. Our group of eight was extremely well looked after — the service was exceptional from start to finish. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with every dish full of flavour and attention to detail. The ambience was elegant and welcoming, making it the perfect setting for a relaxed evening. A special mention for the secure parking, which made the visit even more convenient. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable meal in a beautiful setting. Best feta cheese samosas! Burger was okay, not the best because the bread became too soggy too fast. But overall great vibes, decor, and service! Will definitely visit again on my next trip! Perfect meal before heading to the airport! Beautiful and delicious! They also let us stay late to chat and take photos. It is huge and open air, with a lovely safari/desert chic decor with lots of cozy nooks. Bring a sweater in case the night is chilly. We were there in late October.

Talisman in Nairobi is a gem — warm ambience with a cozy fire and pet-friendly charm. The spinach & feta samosas were crisp and delicious, the farm-to-table salad fresh and vibrant, and the chicken in lemon zest and mushroom sauce with a whiskey savour was perfectly balanced and flavorful. Great food, great service, and such a welcoming atmosphere.
