The food was delicious and sweet,very affordable too. Our waitress, Maureen, was so friendly and kind. She took us through everything one by one with utmost care and understanding. Words can not describe how wonderful the place is and the experience we had here. It's definitely a place to visit. It's charming,quiet,peaceful, and so beautiful.

Amazing place to hang out, work or have long chats with a friend. Delicious food - I got the All American. Tasteful and crispy breading on the chicken, perfect amount of chicken, thick soft wholesome waffle, not too much maple syrup, lightly dressed slaw. Only thing is that the wait time is really long even if they don't have many customers. But it's a peaceful comfortable place to wait around anyway if you have the time. There is also a furniture and home goods shop upstairs

I really enjoyed the food it was very well balanced considering how the Thai like to mix sweet and spicy in their meals. The variety on offer is very good and also the waiter is more than willing to give recommendations depending on what you enjoy eating most. The quantity is perfect and the pricing is acceptable for the service and quality of food. Not cheap but not very expensive either.

GREAT drinks. No wonder it's ranked among the world's best bars. The atmosphere is awesome. Beautiful looking place. The service is top notch. Sushi...I had the prawns tartare with avocado. Well worth the 1750 shillings. Main course was the braised brisket over rice with vegetables. The brisket was a nice, healthy portion but I found it to be a little dry. The rice and veggies were fine. The best part of the meal was the barbossa cocktail. Coconut oil infused rum, pineapple, another type of white rum. Spectacular. I'll definitely be back to sample more of cocktail menu.

The most, I repeat “most” exclusive dinner anyone can ever have in Nairobi. Fine dining and class 🥂. Outstanding food and services, and a great wine list. The dessert presentation was totally worth the entire experience. I would come back for this alone! The food was creatively curated with very diverse flavors. Our starters of the bone marrow with oxtail meat was pure beauty. It came along with a flavorful broth. My hostess was a very kind lady by the name Everlyne. This place is best to host your private meetings or for business dinners however it’s also great for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. A very informative staff at chophouse made our experience even more rich and worthwhile. Would love to visit again soon. . P.S the liquid nitrogen presentation is above the top “Exclusive”.

An unforgettable carnivorous experience! The Carnivore restaurant in Nairobi truly lives up to its name. The ambiance was delightful, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The highlight was undoubtedly the succulent meat selection - tender, flavorful, and expertly cooked. From the exotic game meats to the classic cuts, each dish was a gastronomic delight. The attentive staff and excellent service added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. A must-visit for any meat lover visiting Nairobi.

The ambience is great. A chill spot in the hustles of cbd. We had the carbonara and Tbone steak. For drinks, we had a beer and lemonade. The lemonade tastes of spirit with ice. The meat was chewy and half well done, half medium rare🙂 The waiter didn't ask how we wanted it done. The fries portion was small. Not filling at all. I didn't get to finish the carbonara but the portion was generous. It tasted fine. The pricing was fair... Overall a 5/10 for the whole experience. I would recommend not exploring the menu, just stick to what you know.

We all enjoyed our meals. I had the pork ribs and I’d definitely recommend them, my friend has a Buddha bowl and it was totally worth it. They don’t miss when it comes to their food. The desert was also good, I had the Crème Brûlée Trio and it was amazing.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at 5 Senses, and it was truly an exquisite experience that delighted all my senses. From the moment I stepped in, I knew this was going to be a remarkable evening. The service was exceptional, with Kevin, our knowledgeable waiter, guiding us through the menu and suggesting the perfect wine pairings. His attentiveness to every detail made the evening even more special, reminding me of the importance of indulging in fine dining occasionally. The food at 5 Senses was a masterpiece in both presentation and taste. Each dish was flawlessly cooked and showcased the artistry of the culinary team. While the starters were enjoyable, I must admit they didn’t push the boundaries as much as I had hoped. The Jumbo Prawn Lime & Ginger transported me to the Caribbean with its pineapple salsa and hints of cumin in the curry ginger condiment. However, the true star of the starters was the Banana Textures, an exciting and memorable culinary experience that left me wanting more. The mains truly stole the show, featuring dishes like aged beef, poached salmon, and duck prepared in two ways. The French cuisine shone brightly here, with every bite delivering pure bliss. By the time we reached the mains, I was already quite full, but I couldn’t resist sampling the molten lava cake for dessert. It was a heavenly delight, especially for chocolate lovers like myself. I would like to extend my gratitude to the entire team at 5 Senses for providing such a lovely evening. I am eagerly looking forward to returning again in the near future to relish in the culinary delights that await. Thank you for creating an exceptional dining experience that will remain in my memories for a long time to come! PS. The bread is worth a mini bakery order! Simply delicious!

It is like a very small gallery plus a very small museum. Totally like 300/400 square meters, it is like a 4/5 bed room g+0 building. It is really very small. Museum, like three room with something, woods, clothes, one living room of a older president? Not sure sorry. no comments. Gallery, two room with normal artwork with a price tag from 20,000 kes to 100,000 kes. Nothing special same as anywhere art shops you can find in Nairobi. Not recommended at all. By the way tickets price for citizens 150, residence 600 and non residence 1000KES. You need write done your phone number and passport number and in and out time at the gate. So I noticed mostly people stay there within one hour.
