Jiweke Tavern

Restaurant

πŸ‘ Visited the place during off peak hours (I.e. Friday afternoon). Found a very good outdoor spot. It is good to book an outdoor table in advance, to be on the safe side. The food and service was average, but wouldn’t mind going back there. People often mention good, service, music, great, Good, ambience, Nice, time, Great, nice,

    If you’re looking for a place along Ngong road to hold a family event, birthday party, conference or just want to revel then Jiweke should be on your list. It can get really crowded and moving around then becomes a nightmare. If you intend to stay there for more than 5hours, then you're safer making a reservation beforehand. Parking space is available but when there's lots off people it overflows to the roadsides. You can pay with cash, mpesa or cards. It's wheelchair accessible but I don't think they have wheelchair accessible washrooms. They have a variety of drinks, cocktailas and they serve various dishes as well. I think it's pocket friendly and worth the amounts(for food that is). Music is good and varies depending on the time and deejay playing. Jiweke Sundays is a good time to go there if you want to enjoy the both sides of Jiweke excited experience, thats daytime from 2pm on wards till late. There's a kids playing zone that has a turfed artificial grass, swings and slides to keep the young ones occupied. The conference section is located in two areas, one for a corporate feel and the other for more casual stuff like wedding after parties, graduation parties and the likes.

    Can't say enough about Jiweke Tavern!! Very good and affordable food. The easiest restaurant to plan an event in. They allow cake without corkage fee. Quiet child friendly.

    Jiweke Tarven is just πŸ‘Œ it has never failed me. The music, food and environment is just πŸ‘Œ the kids corner atleast this has brought something close to your us who reside along Ngong road and it a family joint. Where by you and your kids have been considered. Least I forget they have also considered person's with disability by make sure their movement is easy meaning apart from normal starecasess they have ramps for all chairwheel users. I have been their severally and I'll still visit the place. Make a point of visiting JIWEKE TAVERN.

    Went there for a function on a Saturday afternoon and it went well. The place wasn't crowded, and the food was good (good portions). I would definitely recommend it for events like birthdays, baby showers etc Just make sure you've booked in advance. The last who served us (Joy) served us very well.

    Nice place to hang out. I was here for an evening party on Saturday 07.09.19. The food is delicious. However, the waiters are a bit slow maybe due to the huge crowd that flock there and need to be served. Kindly improve on this. MC Pato Entertainment crew made our evening. Kudos.

    Every time I come here, mostly for functions, they go out of their way to make us feel welcome. Despite Covid-19 effects as evidenced by few patrons, they have tried to keep the place spry and happening. Keep it up.

    From their food,to their ambience to the service, everything is great. Looking for a place to host birthdays,baby showers,suprise events? Even watch Football? This is the place. Sundays are always lit,from 2pm,you'll have no space. Lol.....but this is the place.

  • 3/5 Thomas K. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a small group of friends, positives; Nice ambience, very spacious, OK food but slightly over priced by Nairobi standards. Disappointed by the tiny portions of accompaniments and the choma was slightly tough. The kienyeji chicken itself was great. The waiting staff were few for a Wednesday so there was a slight delay despite the place being less than 10% full. Not a bad experience but disappointing for what it could possibly be. Good for families as there's a play area.

  • 4/5 Mwende M. 1 year ago on Google
    Was fantastic except towards the end when we missed service, and when finally a lady came and we expressed out disappointment she was indifferent, no apologies or anything. The gentleman was nicer.

  • 1/5 Debbie w. 1 year ago on Google
    If you live nearby,you will manage to notice that they didn't do any soundproofing to make sure they are not disturbing the others live in the neighborhood as it's located in a residential area which there are three or four apartments building within 50 meters distance. talked to them many times, didn't bother to do even a thing to change the situation,understood that a club need music to do business,but the vibration and music is loud enough that nobody can sleep under it,it caused serious health issue for my families,not acceptable.

  • 3/5 Martin M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best sport I have seen in long while. The menu is okay and they have children play area. Very family friendly 😊. Like it very much.

  • 5/5 Joseph A. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome food. Good variety of drinks. Great place to have a party

  • 5/5 Ngumbi G. 5 years ago on Google
    It is one of the popular joints to hang out while in the city of Nairobi. If looking for a place to hang out away from the busy city centre then this the place for you, I can definitely recommend. I enjoyed my time here. The service is great and you can be sure to enjoy the menu options. Staff a very friendly and helpful as they ensure your comfort while at the facility. Again, they is a bar and a restaurant so will get to enjoy the barbecued meat among other options on the diverse menu and can have some drinks as well. Located a few metres off Ngong Rd along Kibera Rd, Nairobi.
