    Amazing cocktails and amazing food. Cool crowd. I especially loved that the underground club was sound proof so it didn't affect the over areas. And that the cocktails were not watered down

    I highly recommend this place. It is very serene, with cool background music. They have top chefs so the food is amazing & what I ordered was beyond my expectations including being large portion--- I had to request for take away of half of the bowl...their drinks are sweet too. Worth spending your time with friends, families & even have official meetings. Easier to locate with Google map if you don't know the place.... If you wanna swim, it's best to ask from their FB contacts as at the time it was not in use.

    If you're looking for a hotel that truly excels in the culinary department, look no further than this hidden gem. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the quality and variety of food and wine on offer. The hotel's restaurant boasts an extensive menu of locally-sourced ingredients, expertly prepared by their talented team of chefs. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. And the liquor list? Simply divine, featuring a wide range of local and international selections to suit every palate. But it wasn't just the food and liquor that impressed us - the service was top-notch as well. Every member of the waitstaff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. Overall, we were absolutely delighted with our experience. If you're a food and cocktail lover looking for a truly exceptional dining experience, look no further than this five-star establishment. You won't be disappointed!

    Your good sipping and dipping joint at Thîka (and for people all the way from Kenol, Makongeni, Ngoingwa, and Thîka Road. Just grab a boda boda (nduthi) from Thîka town or any other place useme uwekwe Sip & Dip Bistro. The place is a good spot for drinks with friends, catching up watching football on big screens, or for entertainment. There's a gym, nyama choma zone, and car wash in the same yard. You might get lucky at some live music there too. It is a short drive from Thîka town, Kenol town, and Ngoingwa estate for people who'd want kubugia vileo away from home ☺️

    A well kept secret... A relatively new but a remarkable addition to the Thika recreational landscape. Features a pool, a tempting menu, drinks at the right temperature and plenty of ambiance, not necessary in that order, with a fully equipped gym and sauna for those really want to luxuriate. It's out of town, hence uncontested in fully secured environment. A nice place to spend an hour, an afternoon or a couple of days.

    I didn't know what to order and so I just downloaded a photo and I tell you I got exactly what was there and probably tasted even better. I'd recommend this place over and over. They have the best 👌. Definitely coming back.

    Ambient, fun and cozy. The pork ribs are sticky and very indulgent, the pineapple sauce pork is thick and the barbeque pork is rich and full of savory goodness. They don't skimp on food portions either. If you have room, try the brownies too

    If you want a quiet afternoon without loud blasting music to your ears then this is the place to visit. It's also a nice place to hold a meet up or a date. There's also a small swimming pool incase you want to display your belly. 4 Stars

    Nice little place with a swimming pool and lovely milk shakes. When I was there, I found a family having their child's birthday party at the poolside and it looked lovely. My daughter really loved the Oreo milkshake and I loved the mocha coffee shake

    Excellent! I loved the view, it's one of a kind. I'm not a big food fan, but I love their char grilled chicken, it tastes fresh and awesome. The parking is big enough and if you're lucky, you'll spot some rare cars 😁. The underground bar is a must visit for anyone who likes a good night out. 10 stars if I could. Keep it up!

  • 4/5 Dickson G. W. 1 year ago on Google
    The place place is just elegant!! Were it not for the location of the swimming pool, which is just at the face of the restaurant without some good guards around it, I'd have given it a five rating. The theme of the place is a serene kind of, and the artistic touch is on a high level. The attendants are very professional and one gets to enjoy the experience. The food is also great, and loved the fact that they could brew some great coffee too. Your car can also get some excellent wash as you enjoy your meal too....... As said, the pool could be made a bit private to allow those enjoying the meals free from the views and disturbance of those swimming, and vise versa.

    This place was such a pleasant surprise. The food was exceptional!!!! The portions were so generous, I couldn't even finish. And they tasted so so so so good.The price point for the food was good, worth every coin. The service was amazing. They even gave us a jiko to keep warm. Unfortunately my passion mojito disappointed. It was toooooo watered down, literally had to carry it and add alcohol because I spent ksh 620 for passion and some soda.

    Needs some improvement on the meat dishes, the steak was tough and just tasted like burger meat. The pork had very strong smell and it wasn't done thoroughly.

    A nice place to just chill reflect in life ,catch up with friends .in the evening the restaurant offers a heater when it's cold or on request. Sitting around the pool area is vibes .The food in large portions , prepared when you order and it's also tasty. the flavors slap .I'd recommend their goat meat very nice. The servers are kind and humble .
