    Affordable and delicious food. Anyone coming from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or other Asian country must visit this place. It's only walking distance away from Nairobi CBD Area (Center of City)

    Nice surprise. Not a place that, as a muzungu, would typically have on my list. So basically we ended up here, quite a busy street in front of the mosque, by chance but we discover an interesting kitchen (Kostato, boiled camel meat was very good) and an excellent service.

    Good food. Friendly staff. From the moment you enter there doors, they're welcoming and ready to serve. Lemme talk about the naan. They cook it so well such at it's soft, buttery and delicious. The family serving is very generous and tasty. The masala is delicious and spicy too which I like. Would definitely recommend and go back.

    Terrible services, waited for a whole 30 minutes for my order without any communication. I called the manager and he brought a poorly done pizza. Raw on one side, burnt on the other, tasteless, just pathetic. The pizza was watery with cheese leaking all over.

    In 2017 their 1st branch started along Moi Avenue, it was my first joint to take someone for a date it was epic. Almost 5 years later the place has grown, improved and excellent services. Now at Kimathi Street, and along Jamia, I still visit and never disapoints . Its a great place just plan ahead

    We had a platter for 5 people and for the first time, we dug in even before taking a pic of the platter, always delicious, wholesome food. You can never go wrong with this establishment.

    Love the ambience of the Kilimanjaro Jamia Restaurant. They have amongst the best food in the city with friendly attendants. If you're foodie adventurer you should try their Arosto... Most likely you won't wont regret.

  • 4/5 BOSIBORI E. 1 year ago on Google
    Spacious restaurant with relatively affordable meals and drinks. Service by Maureen was pleasant and friendly and I felt truly welcomed to the restaurant. However, food (presentation and quality) could be improved. I had the breakfast croissant that comes with sausages, home fries, kachumbari and fruit salad and a "Dawa" (for my drink) which, sadly, took way too long to be served! I enjoyed the fruit salad as it was fresh and none of the fruits were tangy or mushy. However, the home fries were pretty cold compared to the rest of the other items and the croissant was not that fresh. Also, the plates/saucers and the mini-jug (for the honey) were noticeably chipped and stained. They could definitely do with some thorough cleaning or simply be replaced altogether. Double thumbs up for the restroom though; It was remarkably clean!

    Walked by this place and decided to give it a try, eating solo. There was plenty of seating although it seemed like a very popular place during lunchtime. I got an order of Special Pilao and Fried Goat Meat. The serving was huge and very satisfying. Order came fast. Service was great, Sammy sorted me out and made me feel welcomed and taken care of. Would definitely go back again if I'm in the area

    We enjoyed our food. The portions are big, the three of us couldn't finish the tray. Service was quick even though we were there during lunch rush hour. As usual their fruit juices are always fresh, highly recommend the pineapple juice.

  • 5/5 Esther A. 10 months ago on Google
    This was my third time eating there and as always, they did not disappoint. I had made earlier reservation for an intimate birthday dinner and they delivered above and beyond... from the selection of an ideal spot, to the general dining service, to the presentation of cake (complete with a choir of servers) and the actual freshness and flavour of the cake. The portions were very generous (we had a sinia) and we even ended up carrying some food home.

  • 5/5 Sheila Achieng A. 1 year ago on Google
    I love Kilimanjaro for their fresh food. The wait staff who served us was very helpful when it came to selecting drinks. I recommend asking them what their most popular drinks are. We had the family platter which served 5 of us. The portions were generous and we struggled to finish it. The platter came with White rice, Biryani rice, Naan, chicken curry, beef curry, Arosto and 5 bowls of fresh beef soup.

    It's that one place in town where I can drop by any day. Delicious food and top-notch services and prices are very pocket friendly than you'd expect. What stood up for me and it's still stuck in my mind is their Tropical juice(blended) and combo platters πŸ˜‹πŸ‘Œ

  • 5/5 Gidy M. 4 months ago on Google
    Try their sinia. It is tantalising and its a huge amount you will definitely get full

  • 2/5 Uyangaa M. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious. However, we were charged extra for things that we didn't really ask for, like the cooking style of the goat meat and side dishes that we thought were accompanying the meat.

  • 4/5 kevin t. 2 years ago on Google
    For the love of good food at affordable price...visit this restaurant. The beauty of it is that even when you fail to finish they pack for you to continue with the meal at home...just wow! Quantity is great.

    Beautiful place with really great interior decor. Great staff who are courteous, professional yet friendly. Really commend Alex for the service he gave us. He is really great. Tasty food and the portions were quite filling too!!! Couldn't choose which one was better between the fish balls in coconut sauce and the fish curry in cream... The tropical juice mix was the bomb dot com. And the prices are quite affordable! Will def be coming back again and again. I'll also recommend it to friends and family
