Shamba left a lasting impression on me. The staff's warm hospitality and the delectable food contributed to a memorable dining experience. The restaurant's location, with its refreshing air and picturesque sunsets, added a special touch. Whether you're looking for a solo meal or a group gathering, Shamba's inviting atmosphere and culinary delights make it a standout choice. Highly recommended for those who appreciate a perfect blend of good food and a beautiful setting.

Hidden gem in Nairobi The place is very eco friendly Very spacious-Great indoor and outdoor space It's family friendly,perfect for dates and meetings and pet friendly too! They prepare everything from scratch so food takes a while...don't be in a rush! Whatever you eat is grown there so you're guaranteed of fresh ingredients in your meals They also sell their farm produce Will definitely be back

I enjoy coming here on Sundays as there is no traffic and it's nice and peaceful there aside from the lady selling kids books haha. The shop has some good quality items you can pick up too. The service and atmosphere are top, the food decent, but good for the region.

We had a burger and pulled pork sandwich, the pulled pork was exceedingly delicious. The service wasn't the most responsive to us.

Nice chilled spot with a great menu and awesome, serene ambiance. Great for kids and family. The place has a lot of seating space. Very convenient.

Shambala was an unexpected treat. Lots of outside seating, which we did. Full bar, in which we partook. The rustic setting with the wonderful Kenyan weather made for a great experience. Oh.. and the dishes are creative, made from local suppliers, and very tasty.

Great ambience, service and very good food. Loved it

@shambacafe is one of those restaurants you should try. Tucked in the cozy Loresho, its ambiance, customer service, ample airy indoor and outdoor seating, and contemporary selection of #farmtotable menu options make it ideal for a good time. Quick service and enough space for kids and pets is a plus! We had the chicken wings that came in a generous portion, gimlet cocktail, milkshakes, and, of course, build your own pizza out of these meat options salami, pepperoni, Italian sausage, boerwors or chicken. Located at the interiors of Loresho so a cab should do and roughly a 2k-2500 per person budget [depends - see menu on website as this can be subjective]. Also, have a large space for events [pics 6-10] They got a new space for events too! #lifeinnairobi #lifestyleblogger #foodie #foodblogger #lifestyleinnairobi #foodstagram #restaurantreview #nairobiplaces #nairobieats #foodblog #nairobirecommendation

Shamba Cafe is a little heaven just outside the busy inner city buzz of Nairobi. The place has a gorgeous garden where they grow organic vegetables. The event venue is like a barn that is very spacious on the inside. Being there for the Africa Climate Tech Festival felt like I was home because of the peaceful atmosphere at the place. I loved the food from breakfast down to lunch. The hospitality was out of this world - everyone took time to share a smile and made everyone feel welcomed. Definitely a place I wouldn’t mind visiting over and over again during my visits to Kenya 🇰🇪

Lovely spot. Went for drinks and enjoyed the peace and quiet overlooking the local farm land. Service was slow, but that’s part of the cultural experience. 😉

Good food but poor service. We had gone for our Sunday breakfast and they took almost 1hr+ to serve eggs, omelette etc. Despite of alerting the waiters our food came so late. We are definitely not going there again!

Great ambience, beautiful setting (especially around sunset to evening), fresh farm to table food and they live up to their name with the beautiful Shanna around the property. They allow pets. The shop is well stocked with organic products they grow themselves. Service is slow but definitely worth the wait. The quality of food is exceptional and the portions are very generous. Definitely a winning choice whether you're shopping for fresh organic products, taking a solo break, fancy dinner or group party.

This is my personal best restaurant in Nairobi. The food is all natural (fresh from the farm as the name suggests) with bountiful portions. The ambience is breathtaking and staff are warm but a little slow. They frequently hold a free market for fresh produce. There is nothing NOT to love about the place.

Wonderful place with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Really nice food, nice presentation. Had the chicken sandwich and it was good. The service however was bad... It took 15 minutes before someone brought us the menu and when we asked for the lunch menu we were told they would not serve lunch for another 30 minutes so we had to wait. The place was not very busy and still it was not easy to get a waiter's attention.

Great location and ambience, a restful break from the dust and buzz. Outdoor seating has a decent view and fresh air, but can get a little chilly. Food options and specials are great, portions are large and value for money. Some unique options (had the Guinness steak pie) not usually found in other cafes. Food took a long time to arrive though (45mins) for a group of 4, but well worth it. Coffee is just standard, nothing outstanding. The bakery attached to it is a hidden gem, go for the well priced and wide selection of bagels!

We had a wonderful time at Shamba Cafe. The meals were not only fresh but also delicious. We went on a weekday when they weren’t too busy and got exceptional service, particularly from Virginia. The charming ambiance and serene environment was also a highlight.

I was disappointed with this place because of their service. Went to have brunch and when we got there, no one offered to welcome us or sit us. We got to the reception desk and asked the girl there to sit us. She took us to a table we didn't like and just left us, no words. We moved to a different table and no one came to take our orders for like 30 min. I got upset when a white couple came in after us, got sat and this same girl even explained the menu to them. Such racial profiling! I actually wanted to leave, until one waiter passed by and asked if someone had taken our order. I pointed out my disappointment and afterwards, they kept checking in with us. The manager apologized and said that they were hosting two groups and were busy. That I understand, but it doesn't mean that other customers should be neglected or experience RACIAL PROFILING! I will commend the waiter who served us. He was really nice. However, I am never going back here and wouldn't recommend. Their food is not worth the horrible service.

It is a very nice place! The food is qualitatively very high, tasty and very skilled prepared. But the service is super slow and uncoordinated. The waiters and waitresses are super friendly but slow and tend to forget things. One thing which is really annoying are the uneducated and all the time barking dogs which are often off leash. PLEASE dear Cafe Shamba make dogs ON leash MANDATORY for every dog around. Dogs, especially uneducated and young ones MUST NOT run around the kids and run them over. This behaviour of dogs and their holders is not acceptable and can be very dangerous. The children can play around and there’re many possibilities for them- but some are for charge and can be quit pricy. Don’t forget to agree on a price before you let them paint a picture. It’s a nice offer, but one lady was that greedy that she wanted to charge each Color for the painted pictures of the kids separately. Incredible. Nice 2nd hand clothes are available. The shop is nice, has a lot of bio products but is also very price to overpriced. Also nice place to buy good plants.

The place is beautiful, has parking inside and across. Offers a different setup being a farm like, not your usual restaurant experience. Alot of vendors with variety to choose from (fruits, decor, home made ingredients, outfits ...) I loved the environment but was very disappointed by service being extremely slow. Sat down and no one bothered to take my order. Had to purchase and carry my drink from the counter. Still for additional drink I placed my order but was never delivered. I have mixed feelings about this place but would still try it again. Small issue but still I recommend.

It's a great place to go with kids. You can buy fresh ingredients and eat delicious food. Unfortunately, when I asked the server something, it didn't work at once. (I asked to card machine and bill four time. their are all busy)

Amazing food and atmosphere, plus the owner is very nice and friendly Edit: Want back and the service was awful. They took forever to take our order then said the kitchen just closed so we couldn't order what we wanted - also just was very rude about it like it was our fault.

Uniquely rustic, beautiful & unique. A local culinary getaway oozing with charm and character. A definite must visit

The vibes are amazing , the views and the seating is quite spaced out. fresh food …with fresh produce …jus taste great …coffee is amazing. A must try place !

The whole concept of farm to table is such a great idea. The location is super nice and you even get to see coffee farms on the way. Unfortunately our meat platter was cold but asked the service to warm it which went ok. But the rest would highly recommend it

Located in Loresho, it's an awesome place for the family. You can eat and the kids can play or engage in various activities from painting to learning about farming and crafts. Bonus is pets are allowed.

Shamba is a wonderful location and atmosphere, especially on a clear day. If the restaurant is busy the service is pretty hit or miss. Sometimes you have to track down your server; sometimes the food is a 10/10 and other times the food may be cold. It’s a really great place to work from.

The security was quite friendly when getting into the place which was looking quite good. There's sitting spaces both inside and outside. I preferred the outdoors since it was cool and sunny. There were a lot of pet dogs in the area which is a plus since not too many places would allow for that. The service was slow however, they made up for it after things got into motion. They have bout 70+ tables and you can reserve a table well in advance. The architecture of the place is marvellous and you'll definitely like how it looks. They have a flower shop, a tree nursery shop, planters etc all that you'd need for a gardening set up. If you're into plants, you should check them out. There's all kinds of people in the place which makes it multicultural and thats also a plus. The place is good enough for group hangouts and definitely a place to unwind when alone, fits in perfectly.

This spot is truly a breath of fresh air. The layout is super chill, open plan barn style buildings with massive windows and an open yard with trees. Great shade to sit out and pass time. Bring your kids and your dogs too. Located towards the vet school in past Loresho it has decent parking and a relaxed atmosphere. Closes at 7pm during weekdays, kitchen closes at 10pm on weekends.

Good for the young one and for big

Love the setting! Outdoor seating, kids playing, different breeds of dogs lolling under trees and tables...some had spread picnic blankets and their kids were wreaking havoc, on it. Very multicultural. There's an open area as you enter where you'll find multiple stalls and interesting stuff being sold. There's a shop that sells organic and healthy food. Art being displayed at one end of the grounds. Just a very happening place. We went on a Sunday for the first time with our two kids, every table was occupied and it's clearly not the kind of place one eats and leaves, most stay till their hair turns grey, like we did. Best to make a reservation, even though the sweet girl at the reservation counter still managed to get us a table, within 10 mins. The pizzas were OUT OF THE WORLD, the chicken was meh. Wine list could do with a nice refreshing sweet one for a hot summer day. The dessert platter was decent. Over all a good meal. Go for the ambience, stay for the pizzas and if you're in luck to get Nick attending to you. Your food will be faster and you'll be taken care of.

A friend invited me for mid morning coffee. I fell in love with the place. Good food, service and ambiance. I also got to buy well prepared soil and seedlings for my little veggies garden. There is a whole lot healthy stuff you can get from here for your family. Definitely taking the whole family back. Give it a visit.

As always. Shamba Cafe never disappoints. Delicious food , great service , great outdoors . There was an awesome musical band this Friday I visisted

Shamba is very beautiful. On top of that, the meals there are tasty and definitely worth every your time and money. Highly recommend!

The ambience is great, food is great quality Staff isn't friendly unless you are a foreigner Good for family Clean-ish

Lovely place...nice ambience. Great hospitality

Setting continues to be lovely, staff continue to be friendly, food is good, service continues to be poor. We have been here a few times, always hoping it has improved…but not yet. Slow service, 1 meal arrived incomplete, 3 of 4 people received and finished their meal before the last one arrived. Don’t come when you’re hungry, don’t have high expectations. and enjoy the setting.

Today 12th June 2021, pathetic pathetic pathetic and non existent service. 15 minutes waiting to be seated, sat for 30 minutes no service. Walked out and I'm sure no one even noticed nor was bothered. Proprietors please please, if you cannot handle a certain amount of people, please even politely turn us away at the door, it's ok. A visit to shamba.... NEVER AGAIN

Sundays are a busy day so expect to get your food about 45 mins to an hour later. The salmon bagel was delicious. The prices are high but it's expected because the ingredients are fresh and the restaurant has a nice concept.

This gem is tucked in the Loresho suburbs therefore a very nice ambient environment with good views. The whole concept is based on using renewable and environmental friendly items, from the housing structure, the chairs, the utensils. It's a good place to hold conferences etc. The food is amazing, the service is great! I would definitely recommend.

I loved the food 😋 but the service was very wanting. The waiter didn't smile, was slow, seemed preoccupied or maybe they were understaffed for that day. But this isn't my first time there. Even the last time I remember I went, loved the food and left annoyed with the service. The restaurant is super vibey and nice inside, simple and well designed. Very intentionally done. But I think the servers could be a bit more happier and welcoming to guests. I don't know the background of their work environment which tends to contribute to such a countenance in someone.

Great ambience. Good food. I wish I could have visited with better weather to enjoy the outdoors

Serene location and beautiful aesthetics. Food and service were sub-standard. First visit had the nachos platter that took over 20 minutes to be served, tortilla chips were from a bag. Second visit had their spicy fish fingers which were also served late and not worth the wait, not to mention I got sick afterwards. Their orange juice was also not fresh and was most likely of the Minute Maid variety. Disappointed that their price point, beautiful surrounds, and the effort it takes to get there do not translate into a satisfactory dining experience.

Have you ever been in a place out of a place? Shamba cafe and shop is out of this world! Nice and serene environment Very nice and fresh products for sale..serves the best food and the customer service... excellent!

Amazing atmosphere, service and food

The ambience and place is awesome, you need to book in advance as the place is always busy, good food and a nice place to hangout with family. Good breakfast and lunch options for both veg and non-veg

This place is in the middle of maize, coffee and banana farm and have the finest air quality. It is also worth noting that their facility is family friendly. The people are welcoming. On our last visit, we have had piri piri chicken pizza, Hummus, garlic and ginger prawn, Halloumi salad. All of them were made from healthy recipe. The pizza is a must to taste! Halloumi salad is especially my favorite.

I loved the ambience, the service was great as well. The concept behind shamba cafe is getting away for that perfect serene date, either with your person or family. ingredients are authentic seasonal ones sourced within, I loved that!

Nice steaks and burgers, and a pretty good wine selection too. Lush, green surroundings, with a playground and lots of space for the kids to play. Service is quite fast. Perfect for weekend lunches

Nice space, good look and the food is ok. They even have a shop. Now the shop is much much greater than the restaurant if you asked me. The place is trying to be hippy new Nairobi style of going back to basics. Sadly it’s not that well passable. But still a very good place

If you want to enjoy a lovely meal outdoors....this is the place!

Love the place

Nice and peaceful

Excellent food and ambience

I liked it....

The place is an FSR. Full Service Restaurant offering Breakfast, Lunch and Diner though for now due to Government protocols on COVID-19, it closes by 1900 hrs. It has a nice garden where kids can play and an outside setting where you enjoy your meal as you breath fresh air from the natural habitat.

Food is great the 0lace is located in a beautiful calm place. The views are amazing I mean it's just a great place to go to.

Very nice ambiance, good food and fun

The service can be slow sometimes but the trick is to sit on the inside and not in the garden...

Great place...nice food and hangout

The Steak is great!

An amazing spot.

Excellent food, ambience, great family area.

Awesome place with awesome food. Kid friendly

Really bad place. Ambience is amazing, but the service is really slow. We waited about 40 minutes for the menu and then they made us change tables 3 times. After that the food took about an hour. And the place wasnt all that busy. Wouldnt reccomend this place to anyone or even visit again.

Good ambience

Beautiful place

Good

Like the place, nice place to debrief and relax however service is painfully slow when they are getting anywhere near full capacity!

Very cozy especially with kids. Also set up with proper social distancing and hygiene.

you get the feel of being In a park, plenty of sitting outdoors as well as indoors, amazing breakfast menu and an equally good lunch menu. fresh from the garden!

Nice

Absolutely stunning Cafe. Service was great! Food was amazing. Had the honey camembert pictured and it was divine. Would recommend for Sunday brunches and dates.

Fresh food and great farm shop!

Brilliant as always.

Great customer servive

They have organic foods, a cool environment surrounded by trees, it's just an amazing place to go and chill.

Great ambience

Unique place for normal restaurants

The service, food and drinks were all amazing

Good ambience... Lots of outdoor space

Manicured gardens,perfect place for kids who love running and jumping...foods are on a higher side...majority of the clientele looked like diplomats..wonderful place though

This place has an amazing sunday ambience with a huge garden and all. Food is also good but the service needs to really improve! Cud take upto half an hour before you get a waiters attention!

I like the customer service teams. The cuisines are varied and you get what you want. The sitting arrangement is haphazard and gets really crowded and chaotic on weekends.

Quite a pricey menu, but my red snapper dish was a little bland. Giving it a 4 star (instead of 3) due to the great ambiance, spacious grounds and the fact that the owner was very friendly. Maybe next time I will find a dish a like...

Great food, good ambience and serene location. Offers both in-house and outdoor sitting and is pet friendly. There is a kids playing area as well. Thus ideal for a whole family outing and group dinners. Temperature checks are carried out and masks too are required when walking around the premises. Strategic hand washing facilities. There is an organic spice and farm shop where one can get a variety of spices, herbs and much more. The food and drinks prices are relatively okay.. align to a mid to up market restaurant. Will visit again.

First of all fabulous location with a great interior as well as the amazing outside setting. Staff super polite & attive even though it was very busy. We had 5 different dishes & all were delicious! Loved seeing such multiculturalism in Nairobi as well & as we live in London this reminded us of home. To top it all off the lovely owner came to us to recommend her favourite cider & even treated us to see if we would like it as much as she did, we did!. Thank you Shamba great experience all round. Love it & can't wait to be back.

The food was really good and the space has a great laid back vibe. Loved the little shop and that they have a variety of vendors selling everything from cookies to jewellery on their lawn. And it's kid friendly too! Will definitely be back.

I loved it. You could spend hours there and still want to stay longer. We just walked in early about 11 a.m and got a table however if you want to go at peak hours or you are a large party you may need a reservation. I had the shamba burger pictured below.

A wonderful place to enjoy a nice coffee or meal or have a small garden party for children.the food is not halal,so if your Muslim.. probably not an ideal place for a meal.. Nice sunset view if you go between 5-6pm

Really cozy intimate eatery with awesome food and amazing gardens. You have both outdoor and indoor seating options

Awesome food Awesome service Ample parking space Awesome experience The place is just awesome

(Translated by Google) An amazing field !! (Original) An amazing shamba!!

Lovely Sunday chill spot on the outskirts of the CBD. Child and pet friendly too!

Very relaxed place, awesome

Great space. Awesome for kids, big space to run around. Service still wanting. Waiters forget orders frequently.

Love this place

Lovely setting and surroundings, hip crowd and delicious food. Only the seared tuna was dry & overcooked

Visited on a Sunday. After 15 Minutes we got hold of a waiter. 30 Minutes later not even the drinks arrived. I talked to them and was promised that we will be served. Nothing happened - we left. Its like a swarm of bees with the waiters - whereas a swarm of bees is organized and they know what to do.

Good getaway..

It's a beautiful restaurant with a unique design, tasty food and good customer service.

Awesome grounds. Pet friendly with a playground, slackline, and other things to do. We came on a Sunday for our first visit. We stood around waiting to be seated for almost 5 minutes with no assistance, before just picking a free table, only to discover that we should have made a reservation. They still served us, but it still made things awkward and uncomfortable. We will probably come again, but these are things that need to be clearly advertised.

Service was absolutely horrible. Waiters are rude and indifferent

Great place to dine with friends

So great,, I really enjoyed and appreciate

Nice, simple, rustic vibe (the restaurant and shop have been set up in a barn like shell of a building). The low rating is mainly because of slow almost non existant service we received. Right from get go we weren't sure if it was self service or not. There were waiters around but they seemed busy. Another issue was finding the right place to seat. There were alot of spaces but the table had reserved signs on them. Those without a reservation signs had not been cleaned up after...so it took abit of time to get settled. By then, our mood was off - we were even contemplating on just leaving but we were hungry. We decided to have a quick 'snack'; opted to get pizza. The suprise; that pizza was soo good! I wish the service was better...

Lovely outdoor atmosphere on Saturdays with a market that includes vegetables, other food items, and non food items like clothing, bags, jewelry, etc. The shop here offers a wide selection of organic and local food. Looking forward to trying the restaurant next time.

Terrible service. Prepare to sit and wait half an hour for a drink

Amazing

Was there for me a short time

Beautiful, very good service and amazing food

Loved the ambiance and food.

Amazing pizza and lovely ambience

The place is beautiful the food is amazing and the customer service is everything

The best place to unwind on a weekend evening. Bring your pets as well.

Nice ambiance, great selection on the menu, good food, friendly staff. Service could be a little better.

It's a well organized place and has dedicated workers who are ready to serve the customers. Their meals are also very delicious.

Great food, music and ambience

Very nice place!!

Great place if you have children lots of space for them to run around. Lovely food made with fresh ingredients.

A very nice place to have lunch and dinner

The Shamba is a lovely place for family, an intimate outing from breakfast/brunch to a delicious dinner. The spacious wooded grounds and surroundings provide an excellent location for birthdays and team building spaces

Very nice place, the outdoors are great

Good ambience and great for kids to run around outside. Food was ok. Only problem was service was slow and we waited yonx for our bill. Almost thought they wanted us to go without paying 😐

An awesome place to chill.. quite and serene.

Cool relaxing atmosphere with lots todo for kids

Lovely place for the kids

Tasty food Good customer service

Services were slow

Loved it

Great food, lovely atmosphere and surroundings, but the service is slow.

The natural foods and outdoors space are perfect

Beautiful place, lovely ambience. It's a great hangout place for family, friends and one for taking your pet. The place has wonderful farm vibes. Food is okay, service is fantastic. Busy place on weekends, plan accordingly. You can reserve in advance.

Awesome place! The service was great! Personalized....food was awesome too.... certainly must go back again and again!

Excellent outdoor venue with huge food portioning. Felt a little profiled in the service though.

Nice romantic places to have your dinner, good drinks and okay food. Customer service is fast and good

Beautiful restaurant with lovely shop on a huge estate with lots of outdoor seating. Farm to table food. Delicious. An oasis serves breakfast lunch. Dinner may resume when covid restrictions are over. Chef owner worked at high end resorts and luxurious yachts before opening her own restaurant in this tranquil suburban area of Nairobi. Fast free wifi. Friendly staff. Chill vibe. Free parking.. Reply

Really relaxed place. Great organic food breakfast, lunch, dinner. They got very good juices to.

It’s a real gem. Nice relaxing atmosphere, very good food. As long as you aren’t expecting quick service, it will be wonderful.

My friend brought me here for the first time. It is an open air restaurant. The cafe has a roof but also with plenty of fresh air. So ideal during this covid pandemic time. All the staff including our waitress on this day, Mercy were professional. The establishment gets 3 stars from me due to the waiting time on orders. Check it out next time you are in Loresho, Nairobi.

Nicely done with open spaces and excellent atmosphere. The food is great too! It gets busy so plan your visit accordingly

Very nice environment and very tasty food, albeit their double burger patties are quite small in comparison to cost and competition out there. The steak is to die for, so yummy!

Great ambiance, service was a little slow, clean area and enough spacing between tables. Great food

For a charming, relaxing meal outside, this is it. You'll feel miles from Nairobi with the rolling hills and the kids will appreciate the expansive garden, play area, and slack line.

I had the worst service ever , more than 15 minutes just to get a drink, our food took one hour and was just ok. Great location but not worth the disastrous service,

Great customer service Amazing food Fantastic ambiance and space

Great outdoor setting, okay service but mediocre food

A very pleasant, relaxed atmosphere for coffee or a great meal.

Shamba is a place to be

Its a little road trip though but exciting..I enjoyed the warm reception from the gate and the waiters were friendly both David,Marvin and Brian..The food was nice and i was excited to learn how the chips are made...The environment is quiet and beautiful I can recommend. I'll revisit soon

Delicious pork tacos 9/10 🤤 Ambience 8/10 The place has a big crowd ..not suitable for introverts Service 8/10 Walter was a nice gyy

The good food made the long wait worth it. I don't suppose that it is always as slow as it was yesterday, but time will tell when I go back on a Sunday if my kids will agree. I'll be going back on my own during the week when it is probably quieter.

Loved the dessert. Also loved the snapper curry 😋
