    This restaurant features the most delicious food. And Faith, our waitress, has humour, charm, and kindness of a magnitude seldom encountered. This is true 5 star wow. Also the Ukrainian belly-dancer, Victoria, fails to detract from the feast of the senses.

    Lebanese restaurant with vegetarian options. The set up allows for conversation and conducive for dates, families or groups dining out. We went on a busy day and that may have coloured the experience. The staff were kind, eager and friendly but had no knowledge of the food or wine options. The food was disappointing.

    Amazing meeting place, great company visiting all the way from Dallas, Texas they thought Africa was a jungle and they blamed the international media, for portraying Africa like a field of nothing and I reminded them that Africa has everything that America has, considering countries in Africa are less than 50 years old while America is 400 years, so guys imagine where Africa will be in 400 years way far my darlings...

    wow! I love this place. every time I come to Nairobi with my partner for the weekend we dine at this place. we are in love with libanese cousin and this place knows how to cook it! wide choice and waiting time is in average.. knowing that you'll never get decent food if it comes in 2 minutes!! friendly service and nice location, at upper floor of Villa Rosa Kempiski. good job boys!

  • 4/5 Esayas G. 4 months ago on Google
    A top class Lebanese restaurant at Kempiniski Nairobi. I like the vibe and the decor of the restaurant. We had humus for a starter and it was delightful, the pita bread was baked so well. We had the Meza platter for our main course and it was enough for two. Loved the Samosas, the grilled chicken, the garlic sauce, the salad and more. The price was not bad for the quality of the food. The Baklava was the best desert we had in a while. It was super. Highly recommend it for those with a sweet tooth. One downside though was the service. We found it wanting. Our server was bored and looked like he was not happy seeing us there. Never bothered to confort us, guide us through the menu, ask us if we liked our food and other basic tasks even those at smaller places would normally give you. Other than that, it was a beautiful Middle Eastern experience in the middle of Nairobi westlands.

    Went for new years dinner. They had an okay buffet. The quality was not great - not everything felt fresh, tastes were a but off in some dishes. My experience was not up to the other ratings.

  • 1/5 Karim o. 11 months ago on Google
    Seat not looks good just like a one star restaurant. Sofa looks old As a restaurant In a five star hotel not what I expected.

  • 5/5 irene m. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Priscah N. 11 months ago on Google
    We had a dinner party for about 15 people. The buffet was great and the service for drinks was fast enough. There was entertainment from a belly dancer who livened things up for our group. All in all, a great evening

  • 5/5 jeane m. 9 months ago on Google
    Ugh the food TASTY!!! Absolutely amazing food! And the drinks are good too (at least the one I had!) the staff are amazing and so friendly too! They do have a resident belly dancer(s) too! Absolutely going back for their other restaurants as well!😊

    Great atmosphere. Fantastic staff. Delicious food. Review of Villa Rosa Kempinski Nairobi Pending review First time here and it was great. My partner is Lebanese and was genuinely impressed. The selection of food from salad to mouth watering chicken, lamb and fresh bread was outstanding. The Arabic sweets were excellent too.

    Was here on a Saturday and they do chicken,beef,mutton grill.Buffet goes for ksh.4700 a person and you eat as much as you can😋

  • 5/5 Ashley S. 6 months ago on Google
    Went for lunch and thought for sure it would be too expensive (and that we were underdressed). Arrived right when they opened at 1pm and had the place to ourselves. The food was reasonably priced and the portions were huge. The Mixed Grill for 1 could have fed two. Presentation was everything! The waitress was fantastic and the service was prompt. Great rooftop atmosphere with private “booths” of low, comfortable couches. Will definitely be back again!

  • 5/5 James M. 5 months ago on Google
    This place matches with the Kempenski vibe and is amazing. Ordered the Mezza dish to share and it was more than enough for 2. Drinks were incredible and the atmosphere was Instagram worthy. Highly recommend!

  • 1/5 Irene Serewicz R. 5 months ago on Google
    I was staying for business (solo female) and a convention at the Kempinski and this restaurant is part of the complex. I ate their last night and the service was slow (and hardly any customers which wasn’t surprising for a Monday night). But the food was good! Tonight (Tuesday) night I explained that I just want to have dinner as I had work to do and was hungry and wouldn’t be staying long. The restaurant was half empty. I spent almost an hour and never got my falafel but got water, wine and fatoush. I suggest if you are a solo female that you go elsewhere as they cater to groups who have apparently deep pockets and will be spending most of the evening spending lots of money. The kitchen needs to sort themselves out and management need to also have some focus on other guests who are not dropping a load of money but who want to enjoy the food an ambiance. The service was great when they paid attention to you.

    lovely place

  • 4/5 Bonny E. 4 years ago on Google
    Yes, a lunch here set me USD36 back! As expected nothing was out of order. They sure go out of their way to make things perfect. But do not expect Luhya portions! It's about the experience.

    Greatly dissapointed today, I left pan-afric because of their slow service only to arrive at Kempinski to be told that it was not open yet on their site it stated that it was open.

  • 1/5 Christopher R. 4 years ago on Google
    Food is salty, and the waiter told us we are making noise. Not a good place for groups.

  • 5/5 Sylvia M. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome dining with a variety of delicacies to pick from. The belly dancing is really the cherry on top. I even got to dance with her. The kids had an awesome time. The rice is AROMATIC the real deal! Couldn't have enough! I would recommend it to anyone! Especially a family dinner. Forgot my retainers there, got them 2days later. The staff were really helpful especially Moureen at the hotel's front desk.
