"Kenya 's first board-game café. like many great spots in Nairobi, is hidden away—in this case, on the 8th floor of an office building. If anything, Bao Box's location is actually a boon because the altitude offers fabulous city views, and its seemingly random location adds to the completely fun vibe of the place. Walls are stacked high with all the famous board games like Monopoly, Settlers of Catan… and some lesser-known gems including one bluntly named "Fact or Crap." Whatever your board-game poison, here lies something for you. The decidedly non-corporate decor is funky and outdoorsy with blankets and colorful cushions on pallets. A simple menu of burgers, chips, beers, wines, and soft drinks will satisfy peckish players."

Ambient place and quite spacious. Good food, the platters are quite small compared to other restaurants and spots. Other than that, everything else is superb. Parking spaces with a car wash. All sorts of games and perfect for all sort of age groups and gatherings. I’d suggest you reserved a spot it gets packed quick from the afternoon

Great location but not much else to offer. The service was a bit slow and the servers seem disinterested, you can feel something is off with the attitudes but wasn't sure what that was about. The food was average at best. I had grilled chicken which was nicely seasoned but tough and overcooked. The card and board games are always a nice way to socialize. Overall, the experience was a bit underwhelming but definitely has great potential especially with the vast space.

From the moment you step into the establishment you are met with warmth and good vibes. Tastefully put together, Baobox's every space is very inviting. The food was amazing! We tried their pork chops and goat curry. Well portioned and reasonably priced as well. The service didn't leave anything to want. There are lots of games to keep you entertained. Will definitely keep coming back!

The ambience at Bao box is serene. The staff is kind and they offer exemplary services. The food was also top notch. Also, I don't think anyone can get enough of the games here, whether as a couple or as a group the games are fun. If you want a nice chilling and relaxing spot, I'd highly recommend it here.💯

Saw this Meat Platter combo on Insta and planned to visit Bao Box. Great place with huge space, lot of games. We couldn't try it all, as we were too full with the food itself. Great portion size and ideal for two, it came with drinks too. I see they have more offers, so returning soon to try out other of their menu items too. Overall a great place to hangout for the evening

The place is really nice, very spacious and airy so 5/5 for ambience. The service was a bit slow. The tags are unnecessary in my opinion. The food was bad like 1/5, I wouldn’t recommend although the drinks were okay-ish 3/5.
