Great historic place with a fun story, when you check out the tree. Try to go to the hotel lobby, check the pictures and history. Just a great little visit and stop when you are downtown.

Really great place, well located right in the centre of Nairobi great history behind it too which i love!Food is great and staff are really amazing and friendly big shout out to Daudi at Breakfast that really made the start of our long days ahead so much better with his smile and make sure we were well looked after so thank you and keep doing what you do best! You are Amazing!

Thorn Tree Café is part of the Sarova Stanley, the oldest hotel in Nairobi and established in 1902. The hotel feels very upscale and luxurious. The Café has an indoor and semi-outdoor dining area, and the outdoor one contains the famous Thorn Tree that is the namesake of the Café and a billboard full of messages. Complimentary flatbread with olive oil and beetroot yogurt sauce was provided. I sampled their seafood spaghetti (1900 KSH) and vegetable pizza (1600 KSH). Their spaghetti was good and had a tangy, savory tomato sauce, but seemed to have very little actual seafood, or very little visible chunks of seafood at least - the seafood could've been blended/mushed together with the sauce. Their vegetable pizza comes with a choice of five ingredients. I chose sweetcorn, mushroom, artichoke, and courgette. I also asked for olives but the chef forgot to put them. The pizza itself was thin-crusted and very delicious. It was perfectly seasoned and covered with a generous layer of cheese. The portion sizes are decent and can satiate a reasonably hungry person. The service is friendly too. Because the chef forgot the olives on the pizza, the restaurant offered us a complimentary fruit plate. Then when we noticed that some of the watermelon was not fresh, they gave us 2 more apples. Overall I enjoyed the food and the experience at Thorn Tree Café. It is less fancy than the Lord Delamere Terrace at Fairmont The Norfolk, but it is nevertheless a great dining spot.

Nice cafe with lots of history. Pizza with different kinds of meat was delicious. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great bathroom and walking distance to craft market.

Excellent food, even better service. The restaurant is part of the Savaro Stanley 5* hotel (which itself is exceptional) so be prepared for prices to be on the high side for Nairobi but well worth every penny

Slow service, good food. 500 KES for a single espresso…no joke. Champs Elysees’ price

Good service and ambience. Lovely place to spend a sunny day enjoying your meal and a cocktail

Great place to have lunch while having a meeting .Impeccable service.

One of the best meals we’ve had in Nairobi. Chicken Poussin and Point Neuf potatoes were spot on, Mutton Rohan Josh was authentic. Coffees were strong and better than artcaffe/java. Food at moderate prices, but well worth beyond that. Staff and service were top class.

Classic stylish and full of charms and Nairobi Town oldest cafe and restaurant .

Okay..came for the naan bread but its no more, chapati lentils served was okay! Drink was so so mint pineapple !.bring the naan bread back.

Out of this world. I would choose you anytime....😋😋😋

I love the Stanley Hotel. Thorn tree is always a cool spot to unwind after rushing through the day. They have amazing breakfast. It's usually a buffet.. I absolutely love their pancakes they are goals. Its easy to access The Sarova Stanley as its vang on the CBD. The music is mellow and you can carry on with your meeting with ease. I Love the Sarova Stanley!

Food was below average.

After 30years, I was back on Thorn tree Café, well things changes but I was not disappointed. Good to come back to the mythic bar where lots of safari started in the past. If I think that services was a bit slow for me , and the price higher , it was a pleasure to come back here

Nice place for breakfast Good service, kind staff.

Nice ambiance with old school music (the Beatles). Staff very friendly and the food was very good. A little on the pricey side but worth the quality and ambiance.

The service was splendid. The waiters were quite respectful and friendly. I had fun .

Nice place (especially patio), good coffee but prices are too high.

Delicious food and great service! Thank you Teresia and Diana!

We went for the breakfast buffet which was excellent as there is a huge array of foods!! Also enjoyed an early dinner of beef filet which was cooked to perfection. Check out the pumpkin soup…. So yummy! EVERYONE was so friendly and kind and helpful! Our server, Daudi, was so Awesome! He was very attentive and we got to share good laughs with him too! Highly recommend!

Great service and super meals,enjoyed swahili friday .

Really tasty Thai Currie dishes and a lovely environment. Not the cheapest meal in town, but great service and really delicious food (including fresh bread rolls).

The Thorn Tree Cafe is the relatively informal dining option inside the classic Sarova Stanley hotel in Nairobi. It serves pretty decent snacks and dinner food, also at the poolside.

Great food, great service!
