    Loved it. Asked for a well-done steak, and they didn't bring me a dry slab. The waitress was super friendly. I enjoyed my time

    The chef, waiting staff and floor manager are hopeless no wonder its always empty they refused to make a pasta arrabiata white sauce with the ravioli which is very small request & simple to make they didnt mind us walking out on refusal as well guess the owner has to suffer the consequences on paying a salary on non performing staff..

    The Rivaan centre Mambo Italia brunch has a beautiful interior design. From the 'jua-kali' like metallic seats that catches the eye to a clever spin off take of the famous SGR (Standard Gage Railway) painting. To top all of tjis it serves one of the best thin crust pizzas I have ever taken, but quality comes with a price tag.

    If you're looking for a decent place in Nairobi West to have amazing black forest cake that's actually spongey and tasty, then you should definitely go to Cake Hut next to Uchumi 😋😋 also try the blueberry cake! 🍰

    Had Business Lunch at Mambo Italia at Rivaan Center, Brookside. Food was good but service and Ambiance are lacking. Looks like a run down place and does not have vibe. Food saved the day for sure.

    Nice breakfast menu at an affordable rate.

  • 4/5 Faith M. 4 years ago on Google
    This is my go-to cafe when I have cravings, because their cakes are not just tasty, but also memorable. I also visit this place for hot soups and mildly spiced pilau when I visit my doctor. Unfortunately I had to learn the hard way that they closed the place down😔. The reason I gave them four stars is because online, it still seems like they are at this location. Please Cake Hut, amend your details online. Thanks.

  • 4/5 Isaac L. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice service as usual but space kinda small and not much ambiance to write home about. Great place for a quick lunch when you wanna leave the office, though.

  • 2/5 Yaniv G. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered the steak and Gorgonzola panini. It was a sad affair all around, and Gorgonzola was not involved. And it took a super long time. Maybe they were looking for Gorgonzola. The space is also pretty uninspiring.

  • 5/5 Mary L. 5 years ago on Google
    The ambience is beautiful and food is amaizing. I was very pleased to find a VEGAN pizza, amongst their other beautifully crafted and affordable pizzas. Staff is also very friendly and welcoming, and service is very fast. Would definitely recommend :)
