    First time here. Clean and well presented food. I tried the chicken schnitzel which was tasty. Not very happy with the potatoes that were overdosed with turmeric. The second dish was fish fingers that weren’t oily and tasty. My take home was the Arabian coffee.

    I've been coming to this place for the last 2 years and for the most part, loved the service. Today I had a horrible experience and I'm not sure I'll be coming back: For starters, we arrived at lunchtime (1330hrs) and there were only three occupied tables ( including ours). We had a toddler in tow, and I mentioned that he was hungry. Food took over 45 minutes to arrive and when it did, it was nothing to write home about, leave alone the exorbitant prices. I asked for Mashed potatoes with chicken drumsticks and mushroom gravy and the food that came was runny mashed potatoes that were overly salted ( never mind that this is food for a toddler that has taken close to an hour to get done at "rush hour"), dried up and chewy chicken drumsticks that were simply unpalatable.They gave the appearance of chicken that had been reheated one too many times, resulting in internal dessication. I asked the chef to have a look and his solution was to bring back the same miserable drumsticks ( I wish I took photos, but I was too upset) coated in some barbecue sauce with no apologies and no alternative either. For a dish that cost more than it'll probably ever be worth. Safe to say I will not be coming back, and will certainly not recommend it. Explains why CJ's is usually more packed, despite the lovelier ambience that Saab has.

    Everything about Saab is beautiful, very good for a breakfast date to a family Sunday. They have one of the best breads in town- you have try the Brioche bread 😍 A1 πŸ‘ŒπŸ½. It gets pretty busy on Sunday afternoons. Activities around include horse riding, slides, water park, paintballing, kayaking... among others. It's a beautiful place to be.

    Fantastic spot at the Waterfront Mall, less hectic than CJs. Great service and friendly staff. Bake their own bread, definitely try it. Menu is also diverse and different. Upmarket feel w great interior decor. Still new but definitely one to watch πŸ‘πŸ‘

    The place is really open and good near the Maji Magic. Sitting area outside was ok. The pizza took long to make but it was mouthwatering and cheesy, worth the wait.

    The cappuccino was great, ordered the sandwich with ciabatta bread and it was too crunchy it hurt my gums. Overall I had a great experience. Friendly staff and has a cute interior.

    Love this little cafΓ©. The interior is pretty, and the wait staff is always friendly. We got some cake and tarts to take away. We really enjoyed it. I definitely recommend the lotus cake.

    I've been coming to this place for the last 2 years and for the most part, loved the service. Today I had a horrible experience and I'm not sure I'll be coming back, cam at 1 pm ordered food came at 4 after asking several times. Pizza was late . Hair in my fish and chips we left it. My friend ordered rice and Thai curry they brought chips and curry without even asking the client if they would like to have something else, how can curry go with chips no appologies they say rice has run out. From a good spot we loved to a horrible place it's become. We ordered almond cake it was hard and not tastey as before. Disappointed.

    I've been here twice. Ambience from cleanliness to music and decor is tops - great place to have a nice conversation. Tried two salads, both excellent, unique, balanced and well presented. The coffee was delicious, the coffee cake (think along the lines of tiramisu) was perfection, particularly the bites with the coffee bean on top. The coffee eclair was my daughter's favorite. The diversity of the menu is so refreshing and offerings allow for budget choices as well as full meal prices. I'll go again for sure.

    I am South African and very particular in my food choice and quality. I opted one day to give Saab bakery a try. To my great surprise the food was excellent! I will forever support them as long as I reside in Nairobi. The place is clean with friendly staff but most of all their food is great. It is slightly more expensive than any other restaurant but it is worth every cent. I would rather pay more and enjoy my food than pay cheap and don't want to finish my order. I love their food and will recommend Saab bakery to anybody and everybody. 10 out of 10!!

    I was drawn by how lovely the decor was. Such a feast to the eyes. The pastries were very well done. I hope to return for a dine in experience.

    A beautiful CafΓ© & Restaurant in Waterfront Mall in Karen. Moderate prices with good quality. Menu must be updated and enhanced with new plates. Chicken Stroganoff is always a good selection for lunch or dinner

    Food was bland and didn't have the freshness to it that I desire in my meals. It's a bit pricey so I expected MUCH better but ended up underwhelmed by my meal. I had the cordon bleu. My sister had the cheese burger which she says was equally underwhelming and bland. Good latte though. I think it'd be wise that you stick to the cafe side of the menu. The food wasn't it.

    4* to the Very friendly staff -lady who served us was a little confused but still friendly. 5* Ambience was great. 2* on the desserts...the Γ©clairs :-( ...i do not recommend those to anyone. Not a pleasant experience.

  • 5/5 Charlene C. 3 years ago on Google
    In the first place, it's a beautiful place to chill or have a date. The food was amazing but what really stood out to me was the customer service-it's just out of this world

  • 5/5 Rita M. 4 years ago on Google
    Modern, bright, airy and very relaxed atmosphere. The food is well made, unpretentious and uses fresh ingredients. The masala tea is highly recommended as is the delicious pastry selection. Warm and friendly staff always!

    Ambience is great, food (pizza specifically) not the best. Very few toppings, huge chunks of chicken placed stingily.

  • 4/5 suad m. 3 years ago on Google
    Saab has been my go to Cafe. If you are a coffee lover you need to go there, the best coffee eve,it hits the soul right. Their pastry melts in da mouth. Haven't been disappointed whether it's a main, dessert, drinks.......

  • 2/5 Deejay A. 4 years ago on Google
    Worst pizza I have ever had, undercooked crust, chicken that was not fresh. The rest of the food and drinks are good though. Ambience is good too. I guess that upgrades it from a one star to a two star.

    Good place to be

  • 1/5 Michelle N. 3 years ago on Google
    Food took nearly 1.5 hours, and was very abysmal. Staff are confused, don’t take orders properly.... quite a bad experience Definitely not coming back here.

  • 1/5 Arka H. 4 years ago on Google
    We asked for 4 juices and waited 45 minutes. Outrageous. The juices were nice but did they have to grow the fruit first??? Only come here if you have time to kill.

  • 1/5 Peninah N. 4 years ago on Google
    I wanted to sample your baked goods and ordered bread to take away. I asked for bread that had been freshly baked today and after both the server and cashier assuring me it was I got home to find it was definitely at the minimum a day old if not longer.
