    Pleasant English breakfast. The bread was a bit too crumbly, and the beans were quite dry, but other than that it was nice. Not sure what the green vegetable was doing there (maybe spinach?) but at least it's healthy. Nice touch giving a tea pot and two tea bags instead of the usual one mug, and nice assortment of fruits at the end of the meal.

    Customer Alert! I am a well seasoned traveler. I have been to many restaurants around the world. There are somethings that are important to me beyond the ambiance and the decor of an establishment. Sanitation and honesty is high on my list. Though this restaurant reviews are outstanding and I’m not here to ruin the experience of others. My experience was less than unsatisfactory. I ordered the Lamb shank to take away. As I admired the restaurant and decided to take a stroll around it. I found myself in front of the kitchen with a view to watch the chefs cook the food. Being this was on a Monday the kitchen restaurant was empty with only one person enjoying his beer. I completely walked around the nice restaurant to return to see the progress of my food being prepared. As mentioned Lamb shank and mash potatoes with vegetables. With the cooks back turn to the stove, the cook warming my potatoes, take his finger put it in my potatoes and taste it. To my amazement I was shocked especially with this Covid. I requested to speak to the manager who i was told was Mr. Francis but was not in at the moment. I received this meal took it home and was going to eat just Lamb and vegetables, leaving potatoes to the garbage. Eating the lamb was a big disappointment being it was the toughest Lamb shank my teeth have chewed on. I called the restaurant and was instructed by mr. Francis to return and will look at it. Upon my arrival the next afternoon. I was greeted by Mr. Francis and the head chef who apologized for his cooks unsanitary practices. After the review of the shank, both agreed that this could be fixed and offered me a choice of meal. I chose the red snapper fish and Mr. Francis assured that the food would be prepared by the head chef himself. I return that evening a d the chef prepared my meal to take away. Getting home I open the bag and see the writing on the container Talapia. I call the restaurant and Mr. Francis was gone and I asked for the Chef. The Chef gets on the line and I asked him what happen to the red snapper and he acted like he had amnesia then stated they only had tilapia. I asked they both agree when I can’t stand talapia. This was totally dishonest. If you like peoples fingers in your food and dishonesty with a leather Lamb shank, be my guest. Never again, they failed to make it right.

    The Node in Westlands, Nairobi, is an excellent place to work, meet, or relax. The environment is modern, spacious, and well-designed with comfortable seating areas and private meeting rooms. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the internet connection is fast and reliable. They have options for coffee, light meals, and drinks. The Node also has a variety of events and workshops that are held throughout the week, making it a perfect place to network and connect with like-minded individuals.

    weird spot. the hotel across the road is full of guests like myself, yet they stop serving food real early here. had to walk around westlands with my gf looking for food. inside looks ok though

  • 4/5 Eunice M. 3 years ago on Google
    I loved the arrangements made for the day, parking, 6am coffee/tea and, the best; nyama in the evening for @itchy feet hikers group. Served on time, hot, scrumptious and 'posh' as my people said. See for yourself 😄

  • 4/5 muciri w. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location. Right by the highway. You can hear traffic zoom by over the loud music playing. There’s lots of outdoor seating. Nice open spaces. You have to contend with vicious mosquitoes while you dine. No wine list so no way of way of knowing what to choose unless you ask the waiter. Great staff, polite and prompt with food and drinks orders.

    My pal and i had a wonderful time over lunch. Kudos to waitress Lucy for the excellent service. We enjoyed every bit. God bless the works of your hands.

    It has become a power restaurant, laid back, fairly priced, but it's mostly a politicians joint

  • 4/5 Caroline O. 1 year ago on Google
    Despite the fact that we were the only two diners on a Friday afternoon, the food was delicious and serving generous.

  • 4/5 Grace M. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambience is good there is a live band every Friday that is on point but the service is pathetic.It looks like those government offices where the workers hang there coats in the morning and come back in the evening to pick if you want a faster service this place is not

    Share,Enjoy, Connect! This is a place to visit if you want some quiet hideout within Westlands' busy surbubs. An ideal location with picket friendly rates.

  • 2/5 Kevin S. 9 months ago on Google
    Couple of ⭐⭐ because I'm nice. There was a function on, everyone seem, to be having a good time. The waitrice was very nice. The Node is no more, it's closed, it's called something else now, very ordinary, they must have spent all the money buying the place and ran out for the decor.

  • 3/5 Celestine O. 9 months ago on Google
    The food was okay, though I got food from a conference so I can't speak on food bought at the restaurant. Service was also okay. Needs improvement because there was only a few staff. Atmosphere was also okay, it's not decorated to give an elevated experience or atmosphere.

  • 3/5 Milliam M. 9 months ago on Google
    I liked the place but there is need for having diversity in your breakfast offerings especially for the conference package.I loved the Lyonnaise Potatoes and chicken this is the best I have ever had.A cool place you can take your friend and it is pocket friendly

  • 3/5 A. H. 7 months ago on Google
    I found the staff extremely slow. To add onto that, the prices for everything is exaggerated. A plus point for this place is that it’s ideal for meetings.

  • 5/5 Valerie S. 6 months ago on Google
    What an amazing experience at this brilliant venue. I was managing a wedding reception for a client here, the staff were absolutely amazing and helpful, with a distinct attention to detail. The prices are excellent and the value is incredible. Was a fabulous experience from start to finish. Will be coming back for sure

    Very nice place. The ambience is lovely. It was very well designed but the service is poor. Their food is good and other than that, I cannot complain

  • 1/5 Shira Bayigga M. 3 years ago on Google
    The food delayed to be served - it took 2hrs and my car's side mirrors were both stolen from the front parking. Otherthan that, the food itself is good.

    Refreshingly very good service from the security to the waiters. They quickly arranged for my special person at my request, a small surprise cake for his birthday. The food was tasty too. Would go there again and again.
